The Oscars 2012

betenoire · 01-24-2012, 08:06 PM

I hate to admit this, UofMean, but I haven't seen ANY of the films mentioned in your post!

I've read quite a few books and played some new video games, though.

I also have not seen any of the Best Picture nominees.
But I have seen 3 out of 5 (so far) of the best animated features.

I am so looking forward to Albert Nobbs. I like Glenn Close.

Bete, I have to admit, I have only seen one of the movies nominated but plan on seeing the rest.

I did that last year and was not disappointed.

Allura, why am I not surprised?

And yes, I am looking forward to seeing Albert Nobbs also.

Hooray for the Oscars! I'll be back with my picks. Who cares if I haven't seen them all. LOL

Alurra · 01-25-2012, 02:43 PM

Now, this is a movie I could watch over and over.

I have to admit that I am tired of celebrities having so much going on and patting them selves on their back on any occasion . Who cares about they divorces , engagements , plastic surgeries , sex tapes , etc .

We as everyday people going through the same things such as divorce or separation from loved one , but without millions , working hard and some of us still can't meet our needs . There are people struggling to put food on the table , foreclosures and homeless .

I personally helped people in need and gives me more satisfaction than Oscar . I don't needed , but I know I have done right thing for humanity . I am sick and tired of Kardashians being everyday in news . I never watch they show , but everyday you click on news they are in . They morals are so bad and we as a gay people still being view as second class citizens as I said before

I have been out for too many years and I am really tired of a homophobic people they are thinking we are some perverts , when they are more perverted than we are and don't even know we are everyday people like them .

Oh I hear what you are saying, Vlasta, but for me the Oscars are special. I don't see it as anything other than recognizing some folks for the work they do. And the entertainment industry is so very important. It is because of Hollywood and the independent studios as well that we get documentaries like "911" or "Fork over Knife" (not the right name) or movies that inspire us like "Joyful Noise" which I haven't seen.

So I would rather seek the joy in the Oscars. I love Oscar night. I love the glitter, the glamour, the glee. I love watching truly stunned winners babble. I love watching the smug superior winners get choked up.

I just adore the Oscars. And I'm glad this thread is here for those of us who do love it. It's a fun way to connect with others who share my love.

I also watch every other award show that I can. Some people are reality show junkies. Me? I'm down for the award show every time.

I do think your statement has validity. Maybe it would be a good post for one of the discussion areas? Let folks chew on it more there where they can not be divided by those of us who are here to pass a good time about the Oscars.
