The Oscars are bullshit.

I usually go by live streaming online.

You should join the chatbox (just scroll to the bottom of BAB's main index page, and log in) on Oscar night, j7. It worked out well for the Golden Globes, even if was just me, Brown, Harms, Tux and Wade.

Remember to stock up on booze!

I'm a-watchin' the Oscars. It's just something I do. And they've got Billy Crystal this year.

I watch the Oscars only to make fun of Hollywood with everyone else. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of rich people slapping each other on the back.

rich people is an understatement.

they get dresses and gowns made at $20k, $40k each so they can wear it only once.

Absurd!

Remember: WE are the ones that made them rich!!

So in essence, we are responsible for their "drug" habits!!

I saw the trailer for his new film, THE DICTATOR, when it came out a few weeks ago, and I thought parts of it were really strong...and really weak.

If it's Sacha Baron Cohen and Larry Charles, then count me the heck in!

That's was my stance before I saw the trailer. Unless the trailer was just poorly cut, this looks considerably weaker than both Borat and Bruno. (And I'm seemingly one of the few who loved Bruno just as much as Borat.)

I didn't think it was too funny.

So are we gonna throw an Oscars party where we live-forum-respond to the entire lackluster crappy affair as always?

I believe so. I'll be in the chat box for sure.

One hand on the keyboard, the other on an alcoholic beverage.

And if I had a third, it'd be on Dog's ass.

I wish they would start live streaming it so I can type here and watch at the same time. The disadvantage of using a TV as a computer monitor.

I remember every site streaming it got shut down every five minutes last year. It was irritating.

Just realised the Oscars start at 20:30 PT, which converts to 04:30 GMT. Fuck this shit.

No, they're at 20:30 EST, according to (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/25/when-are-the-oscars-2012-academy-awards_n_1301169.html), which converts to 01:30 GMT.

Oh, Ok. Maths was never my strong suit.

Edit: Sykes - join us in the chatbox.

Dog will be around to keep you awake.
