Wouldn't miss it. We even get dressed up and roll out the red carpet(it's really a carpet runner but don't tell the kids) and make big fun of it.

Nah, I had my fill of over-inflated egos getting busted by crushing defeat while watching Cookie Miller get held to two points in yesterday's game.

Okay, so I think Judy is just way too into the Oscars but good for her. It better be a Faux Fur party!!! I doubt I'll watch it but maybe on commercials from other shows. Or I'll have it on while reading.

Yes, but if A, B, and C must declare that their sexuality and gender are in question if they watch the Oscars, then that pretty much proves they actually are gay and are desperate to hide it.
madmike, I recommend that you go live in a cave with Osama bin Laden. That way you wouldn't have to deal with American movies, music, books, art of any kind, and fashion, and you could sit around with a bunch of men and badmouth liberal America. That way you could truly be happy with your miserable self while enjoying the company of those who share your views.

I was going to watch but I decided to poke myself in the eye with a hot poker and get the pain over with more quickly.

"Are you going to watch the Oscars?"
Are you going to pay me? I'll watch if there's something in it for me. If not...

I've tried to watch the Oscar's in the past but it honestly bores me to death. It's like watching paint dry because you think it will never end.
beatrice 5 years ago
p-r, so you are telling me that instead of grieving you are surfing the net so you can make stupid digs about others. Sure. I believe you.

madmike is one of those self-important neo-conservatives who hates just about everybody. By the way, mikey, did you hear that Sean Penn won an Oscar for playing a gay guy? I'll bet that just makes you so mad. Seriously, don't you find it at least a little interesting their you and Osama bin Laden share a hatred for liberal America? I'm sure Osama wouldn't be happy with Sean Penn's movie, and I'm sure you aren't too. You guys could be brothers.

killjoy, somebody tries to call me a fat lesbian and I call him on it, yet I'm the pathetic one? Um, whatever.
