TOTALLY GEEKED!

We'll tape it.

It's Walking Dead night.

I did see the Grand Budapest Hotel, on HBO. It was kind of cute.

I haven't seen a movie at the theatre, since Gravity.

I hate, going to the movies.

Lady Gaga just did a fabulous musical medley tribute to Julie Andrews from the Sound of Music.

I've never heard her amazing voice because of all her distracting gimmicks and showmanship.

This was just pure, simple, beautiful voice. I wish she would do that more.

I fell asleep...

I think some of these awards shows have turned people off. They drag on. And, then you get the ones who have to turn it into a political platform. That's annoying.

I like Neil Patrick Harris. I'll probably watch parts of it tonight.

I hear there were a lot of "activist" type speeches? No thanks. I don't take my politics from entertainers and celebs.

---

 I may be in the minority, but I understand feeling passionate about a cause & using your fame to promote it.

Better, imo, than a K-K-Kardashian bimbo...

Actors place too much importance on themselves, IMO. I can't stand the long political diatribes. I saw a few taped ones on the morning shows and quickly turned the channel.

 But don't you think it's hard to stay grounded when the paparazzi are following you everywhere?

There is a reason why the public does not watch the Oscars. I hate the activists speeches.
The news blurbs are enough for me. I never heard of the Birdman movie...

 It's AMAZING.  I'm so glad it won.  Whiplash was my favorite this year, but I knew it wasn't going to win best picture. I'm just glad J.K. Simmons won supporting actor.  He definitely deserved it and it was a pleasant surprise...

I didn't think that the speeches were all that 'activist'. There were some good points. There are injustices in the world - why not use your time in front of the microphone for good use?

When you are rolling in millions, it's easy to tell others what they should support.

So, if you're rich, you can't support a worthwhile cause?

They can bloviate anything they want. But, I certainly am not going to tune in and listen to their crap. No thanks. So, then don't whine when your ratings go into the toilet.

So?

Well, sorry I am not going to hold court with a bunch of whiny, self absorbed celebs telling me how to think.

 I don't know who spoke or what they said...yet...

If a person was truly "self absorbed," why would they bother being concerned about any cause?

flan

If they got up and gave speeches on Prolife or traditional marriage, you would be hurling your toast this morning. Admit it!

Oh please. For a lot of them, it is a way for them to pat themselves on the back.

 Are you just bloviating now????

Wow Gaga - there is a lot of anger there. Strange that you would feel so passionately about something you don't care about.

 I feel passionately about every topic.  We could discuss dryer lint and I would have passionate opinions!  lol

 I thought we were all supposed to NOT get upset about other people, since we couldn't control them?

LOL! You are paying attention!

I started to watch the opening number … and lasted about 20 seconds. Ugh!! So not my thing at all. Soooo corny!! I hate all that stuff. Just makes me cringe.

I'd rather have Patricia Arquette speak about equality than watch John Travolta do whatever it was he was doing to Idina Menzel.

---

Yeah, what was he doing?  I saw a pic of that in the news. 

I don't get the thrill of Neil Patrick Harris parading around in his tighty whities. Isn't he getting a bit old for that? Just seems a bit weird.

Oh ok.

I didn't see a whole lot of political speeches that were not derived from the piece they were nominated for. I didn't watch all of the show, just the acceptance speeches. But Julianne Moore references Alzheimer's because she was nominated for playing a woman with the disease, Eddie Redmayne mentioned ALS because he was nominated for playing someone with it, Particia Arquette mentioned equal pay for women and her character was a hard working mom who was struggling...they all were referential to their roles IMHO which I dont mind. Now, if you win for playing a homeless person in NYC and you want to talk about the Ukraine, that's another story.

Eh, I don't see how actresses can stand up and whine about equal rights. They said she was complaining because in her last role she got a lot less than her male counterparts but then others countered with the fact that she didn't have as big of a role as they did. It's just hard for me to take stars seriously on much.

---

 I don't have a problem with her talking about equal pay...its a big issue in Hollywood and on "Main Street". So many women get paid less than men for doing the same work.  At least it's an issue that effects her directly and not some esoteric "save the spotted sea urchin" plea.
