I don't care. *grumpy face*

Since the only movies of the ones nominated that I've seen are Spiderman 2 and I,Robot, I'm not going to watch the whole show. Besides I can't stand Chris Rock! I've already left the room once or twice to do something else because he isn't funny.

I, Jenna

Dave, it's hip to be square.

Don Cheadle was robbed...Jamie Foxx is just the flavor of the month, his major ability in acting in Ray was the fact that he bares a physical resemblance to his subject.

Even though I haven't seen Million Dollar Baby Morgan Freeman deserved it for his great performances in the past...but I would have been happy if Thomas Haden Church had won as he was my favorite from Wings and is damn talented.

As for Chris Rock, he was funny, but watered down. And bears a striking resemblance to P. Diddy.

I've seen Million Dollar Baby yesterday and it's a beautiful film. Awards for Freeman and Swank are deserved and Clint Eastwood is a great director.

That was the most awkward Oscars ceremony I've ever seen. The infrequent, earthy humour just did not mix right with the schmaltz and glitz. And why the hell did Beyonce sing every damn song??

Hey Fulgh..I noticed you voted for that Crossroads Festival quite a few times.

I would've voted for the DVD too but I think it kind of sucked compared to being there. Which I was. Did you know that I was there? For 11 hours of blues? Yeah, that's right. Start bowing.

Hey Fulgh..I noticed you voted for that Jenna Jameson quite a few times.

I would've voted for the Jenna Jameson DVD too but I think it kind of sucked compared to being there. Which I was. Did you know that I was there? For 11 hours of sex? Yeah, that's right. Start bowing.

Jenna Jameson is my favourite actress. Well in that particular genre that is.

i wouod love to know why
#1 why was Usher there
#2 why was p didy there

they serve NO PURPOSE THERE. Beyonce sang the songs good. Still, Usher doesnt belong at a place with talent 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000x better than him.
