They're zooming through this thing. I'm sure around 10 EST, they'll be a 30-minute interpretive dance number from Cirque du Soleil celebrating the history of bear attacks in movies.

er other award shows.

It's the Oscars…instead of showing a montage of each Picture nominee, they should show a scene—preferably a scene that hasn't been seen in commercials, review shows, or other review shows.

Who knew that Fury Road was lined with Oscars?

Is Mad Max going to sweep the tech awards? If it keeps winning, it might just take the big one at the end of the night…

Not to highlight another awards, but if Roots comes close to living up to its legacy—the Emmy race for Limited Series is going to be intense.

So seriously…did the Academy get the tapes mixed up and thought that Adele was coming back to do the Bond theme again? Or were the original songs this year just that uniformly awful?

Was that the actual Stacy Dash?

I don't know what this ad is for, but I'm sort of impressed it features a bi-racial couple—oh, Kohl's.

Hey, more very very white people!

Starting with Screenplays…and I love Emily Blunt, but she couldn't sound more bored.

I really hope someone is going through and cataloging all the movies seen in the opening montage.

Literally the only thing I remember about the movie is that it's one of about 85 late 90s movies where Ryan Phillippe showed off his bare butt. If every episode has a Ryan Phillippe nude scene, I'd be willing to watch.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if they didn't just have a new version of the original theme song.

Equally annoying, to me, is the Roger Rabbit clip. They couldn't use any of the many, many, many scenes where cartoon characters convincingly interacted with real props?

It also better include the scene where it's revealed he's been a toon the entire time.

Love, the extremely graphic Gaspar Noe drama that premiered at Cannes last year, is also streaming on Netflix. I wonder how many people will start that up thinking it is this show, and how fast they'll realize their mistake.

On one hand, Burton's not directing it. On the other, I'm not sure that James Bobin is the right choice to take over, given that his credits are two Muppet movies, Flight of the Conchords, and Da Ali G Show, none of which were exactly the special effect extravaganza that this film will be. On the other other hand,

Given that multiple cast members are certainly heading toward Emmy nominations (some deserving, some less so), I wonder how the category placement will play out. While they could put the entire cast in the supporting categories, I'm assuming that they'll put Vance, Paulson, and Travolta in the lead categories. I
