Oh honey . Kringas.. don't be so vicious. Reese was deserving as was Felicity. You can't compare the two.

I totally agree! It should have totally gone to Dolly Parton! Such a stupid song! Totally Totally Stupid. The only one that had any talent was the girl in white who just sang the title over and over, who doesn't even get the award.

It doesn't matter what anyone says about Dolly's Performance that night because the results were already in, but She was great, so why even go there!

I wonder why Ludacris was really supporting that song instead of the song from "Crash", a movie he was in?

I don't know! I was really hoping that "Transamerica" would say winner of 2 Academy Awards Felicity Huffman- Best Actress and Dolly Parton "Travlin' Thru" Best Original Song. And if I could only have one, then I wished that Dolly got it.

And here is what I want to know! Why in the world should we have sympathy for the pimps anyways? It's the woman that do all the work!

*******If you've ever seen Ellen's Stand-Up Routine(on DVD or HBO)called "In the Beginning," She says "What is with all these rap guys having lyrics like 'Slap the Bitch up the ass', and then they go to accept an award and they say 'I'd like to think the Lord up above, Praise Jesus'!"***************

Well when they won and went up there I said and they're going to thank Jesus, and They did!

I knew this song would be a cultural phenomenon when my mother kept singing "Ya know it's hard out here for a pimp" all day yesterday and my dad chimed in with "A whole lotta bitches jumpin' ship."

And if you knew my parents, you would realize just how terrifying that sight was.

I dunno. If you don't take one award seriously, why should you take others seriously? And I'm not being flip, I'm just curious.

Anybody just thrilled that there was at least one bizarrely realized production number in the CRASH song?

I mean...ever since they banned Debbie Allen from the ceremonies, I've been less of a man.

That CRASH number went a LOOOOOOOOONG way to making right was was once made wrong.

And I don't think anything I said was vicious, nor did I state anywhere I wanted Felicity to win.

Except for the re-enactment of the scene where Matt Dillon is all up in Thandie Newton's vagina. Did we really need to see that?

And nothing will top Rob Lowe singing and dancing with Snow White. NOTHING!

Kringas.. I should have put a next to that vicious. I did not mean to get you all worked up.

I thought banning Debbie Allen was one of the best decisions ever. They now need to hire a GOOD choreographer now if they're going to do intepretive dances.

Anyway, you can take the awards seriously and seriously disagree with the choices to the point where you find their choices ridiculous. But you could still hold the Oscars in a high regard after that.

Kringas, the Song category is so consistently a complete joke it can be isolated from the others if one likes.

And I actually froze like a deer in the headlights when I saw that flaming car. My god, just when I thought I'd seen the heights of tackiness.

I try never to miss any opportunity to see interpretive dancing around a burning car.

[DAME]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 5:40pm

I see it every weekend.

[MTVMANN]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 5:40pm

Did Debbie Allen really Choreograph that, or is everyone just paying homage to her?

[robbiej]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 5:40pm

If you don't understand the truly craptastic joy of an Allen-choreographed production number, then we cannot be friends.

I mean...Savion Glover tap dancing the machine-gun shots of Saving Private Ryan.

The Dances With Chippen-Wolves erotic floor show extravaganza!

Chorus boys and girls running around in fins singing Under the Sea.

Brilliance.

Pure, craptastic brilliance.

Everyone knows that when you're trying to escape a burning car, you don't do it in slow motion.

The should come out with the Debbie Allen Academy Awards collection.

Well RobbieJ, I was pretty young when I first saw the last Debbie Allen dance number. Maybe if I saw some now, I would appreciate the craptastic quality of it all.

[robbiej]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 5:44pm

Ah yes...the appreciation of the craptastic does come with life experience.

God, I miss Debbie.

Her coreography for CARRIE was truly classic. Remember the shower scene with Draglene Love in high heels?

Was Debbie Allen Responsible for the Snow White/ Rob Lowe thing in 1989?

Question:

How many tv theme songs would've won the Oscar for Best Song had they been for movies?

I can totally seeing "Thank You for Being a Friend" being Oscared back in the ugly 80s.

Robbiej - I thought the tap dancing skin divers were a Paula Abdul product.
