How exactly did you “turn off” the five nominated movies if all of them are still in the theaters? Did you have illegal bootlegs of the movies? Did you have screeners of the movies that were sent out to Academy voters?

My guess is that you didn’t actually see a second of these films, and are pretending that you did (or more correctly, lying about seeing them)

But, by all means, continue with your perceived outrage about movies that you clearly didn’t watch. Liar.

If the camera had panned to the man who was crying with joy, that would of made a strong statement without words. No….it’s all about Penn and what he thinks and who he hangs with and who he approves of…

Partner with Castro and Chavez to show disapproval of Bush? Pretend to rescue Katrina survivors to show disapproval of Bush? He’s constipated with a pained expression that mirrors his disapproval of the ‘masses’ filled with his own opinions bursting to come out. Hollywood’s Al Sharpton. He should write more.

But as a Cuban-American, and one who suffered Castro’s jails for dissension, there is no way for me to quantify the contempt I feel for this leech named Sean Penn (and Robert Redford and Danny Glover and a few other Hollywood’s Castros-friends). He represents the worst of Hollywood, the Anti-American hero.

Slumdog Millionaire, why do I care about what a bunch of dirty filthy street urchins do? I turned it off after 15 minutes.

Frost Nixon, I watched all the way through. A total hatchet job on an honorable president.

Milk, two homos kissing. Who wants to watch that? I turned it off.

Benjamin Button. I watched most of it, but Brad Pitt is just such a looser that I couldn’t stand it.

The Reader. Nudity, nudity and more nudity. I turned it off.

So now I know I would have been wasting my money if I paid to see or rent these.

Hollywood should be shut down.

Wow..are you serious? (rereading your comment) Wow..you ARE serious.

So, how do you figure that Slumdog portrays poverty as “a lifestyle”? I’m assuming you’ve actually seen the movie? If you have, you’d realize that entire point of the game show plot was that the lead character didn’t care about the wealth, but was acting out of love. It was a Dickens meets Bollywood hybrid.

Again, it’s utterly fascinating to see a movie that literally doesn’t mention a damn thing about American politics or American values is still seen by some of you as “Anti-American”.

I know, I know…the Oscar sweep by the apolitical Slumdog sort of flies in the face of the “Oscars are commie America bashing hatefests” so you have to distort reality in order to maintain your talking points.

You conveniently left out the part that though ratings were up 6% it was the third lowest viewed Oscar night, you cheeky bastard you.

Am I to believe those that watched the Oscars only did so to truly feel superior or was the comment an elaborately hidden clue for why you come here? My self-righteousness is lacking compared to your over abundance so please help me out.

Penn’s win was Hollylibs way of making some Americans feel shameful for the views they have towards Prop8. I hope the President wasn’t watching, he already has enough to worry about.

Langella or Rourke I felt should have won. Rourke had no chance because The Wrestler had no political spin for Hollylibs to admire. However I seriously though Langella in Frost/Nixon had a chance, political spin and a masterful performance. Current politics shamefully won the night.
