The should just hold it in someone's garage as they did with the Golden Globes...no one cares about these award shows anyway...the ratings drop every year and they bore to no end.

The show is less about the awards and more about the pomp and circumstance surrounding the show: what the actors/actresses are wearing...

Hehe...seriously...this standoff is going on forever...I don't watch network TV so it's not bothering me, but still...lots of $$$ being lost on both sides

Unfortunately, it's not affecting all that reality show crap.

I'd like to see them all crash and burn like the Hindenburg.


"Oh, the humanity....!"

Well of course, because reality shows are crappy AND the people starring in those shows don't have any loyalites regarding writers or the like....I'm sure reality programs have grown in number...

They have. :bleh:

Just another TV trend... I hope.

Just like all those prime time soaps from the 80's (Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing,etc.)... :sweat:

well given the fact there is a reality category in many of these award shows I fear they are here to stay....but then I'm not a TV or film exec.

O! Thanks for posting this! I couldn't get on the radio at 8:30 this morning to hear the release.

I can't say I'm a fan of the Oscars myself, but I do watch them. Sadly, I watch the awards that are rarely taped for TV. :beaten:

Aussie Cate Blanchett nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress :thumbsup:

In the same movie.... :beaten: :hehe:

The Oscars don't hold that much appeal for me as it used to .. as it's been a few years since I've watched ... but that's probably cause many of the films I do not care for. :grumble:

None of the "Best Pictures" I have seen, except for No Country (which was OK) ... but I'm hoping to see Michael Clayton and There Will be Blood sometime soon.

:beaten: i like the golden globe instead of Oscars since i'm more familiar with the names...

I immediately noticed Cassey Affleck though. All for that "He's way better than his crappy brother at acting"
