We're lucky if we catch any of the academy awards</i><br /><br />Thanks! That's always good to hear. And you guys totes need to come to my Oscar party this year. It's been way too long since you last attended. <br /><br />@Matthew Rush:<i>I've heard Bale was outstanding in The Boxer, but haven't seen it yet.</i><br /><br />Ditto on both counts. I'm making it a point to catch it before Oscar night. <br /><br />@Anne <i>i heard rumors that Ricky 'went too far'- was the God joke the only thing that could be considered 'too far'? </i><br /><br />What Dr. Bitz said, basically. <br /><br />He had some good zingers at the actors' expense, and they were more pointed than what you usually get from the hosts of these things, so everyone's like "oh, did he go too far?". <br /><br />I mean, they were zingers, but nothing that was realistically <i>that</i> over the top. <br /><br />There was the crack about Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher that I mentioned, the requisite Charlie Sheen joke, another great one where, when introducing Tom Hanks and Tim Allen he said something to the effect of "of our next two presenters, one is a two time Oscar and three time Globe winner, acclaimed, etc. etc., and the other is Tim Allen." <br /><br />So nothing truly outrageous, but enough to aggravate sensitive actor egos. <br /><br />@Hannah: <i>this is better than watching the show!</i><br /><br />Haha, thanks! <br /><br />@Dr. Bitz: <i>He apparently forgot that the actors are there to be honored and revered for the near-God-like beings they are and that only the mildest of good natured ribbing will be accepted.</i><br /><br />And you'd best not be forgetting it either!Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-16041964653849594232011-01-19T09:51:36.067-06:002011-01-19T09:51:36.067-06:00Anne, Ricky Gervais went too far as in he poked a ...Anne, Ricky Gervais went too far as in he poked a few holes in the actors' fragile egos. (I can't remember the exact lines, but Ricky basically said The Tourist was no good and only got nominated because of bribery.)<br /><br />He apparently forgot that the actors are there to be honored and revered for the near-God-like beings they are and that only the mildest of good natured ribbing will be accepted.Dr. Bitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568570859981368717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-35709023952028225702011-01-19T07:58:38.721-06:002011-01-19T07:58:38.721-06:00I'm with Sarah and Anne but I'll go as far...I'm with Sarah and Anne but I'll go as far as, this is better than watching the show!
