Zach Galifianakis interviewed several people that are nominated for an Oscar, an award he will never be nominated for, and to say the interviews with Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, Christoph Waltz, Naomi Watts, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Chastain, Sally Field and a shorter and darker Daniel Day Lewis didn’t go so well would be an understatement. In fact the Oscar special went to so badly, it might be the last of Between Two Ferns we will see for a while, well at least until he does the Razzie edition.
AMPAS announced today that Seth MacFarlane is going to host the Oscars and I am announcing that I will be skipping them! I mean I already hate the nominations because they are always a snoozefest that will be forgotten within days after the big ceremony. I dare you to name last year’s winner. See couldn’t do it.
But yet knowing that I have tuned in for the last few years just because I was curious about the hosts, yes even that sh!tastic year when Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosted. But I have already seen Seth MacFarlane at his best at the Roasts and he is not a draw to me. I don’t know, I have grown quite bored of the man who I used to really enjoy.
So I guess that February night when Hollywood honors the most boring movies of the year, I will be watching The Avengers on DVD and thinking how that movie and Joss Whedon were robbed.
And if Ted gets more noms than Avengers, then we know it was fixed for the host. Because let’s be real Ted was good but it went on way too long to be great.
BTW I am wondering how many people over 45 are going who is Seth MacFarlane? Probably most of them and that could really hurt the ratings and the Oscars have been suffering big time over the last few years because of that.
Finally I love how he predicted that he would be the perfect Oscar at the first roast he hosted for Comedy Central!
UPDATE: Seth MacFarlane‘s dad is as excited about his son hosting the Oscars as I am!
In less than a week Billy Crystal will be once again hosting the Academy Awards on ABC. Looking at this promo picture of him for Oscar night, I want to know when he became Tom Cruise. Running is the Mission Impossible star’s thing, not the City Slicker’s. Is that AMPAS saying that Sunday’s show is a mission impossible and they need Batman to save him? And if that is what they are saying, which Batman will get the honor…Adam West? Michael Keaton? Val Kilmer? George Clooney? or Christian Bale? I am rooting for TV’s Caped Crusader to do the honors, but I think it will go to the one who is actually nominated this year?
Many of us learned how to kiss from watching movies, in fact many of us got their first kiss in a movie theater. To honor that the Oscars have released a series of posters commemorating the most romantics moments in film. Who can ever forget the feeling they got when Lloyd held that up boom box in Say Anything. Or that tender moment between baby and Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing. Who hasn’t made out on a beach and wanted to have the ocean water cover them like that kiss in From Here to Eternity. And who hasn’t wanted to be kissed the same way Rhett kissed Scarlett in Gone with the Wind.
So today kiss your Valentine like your favorite romantic moment from the movie of your choice, I am sure they will appreciate and kiss you back the same way. If you don’t have someone to kiss, why not sit back and watch your favorite chick click and pretend that lead is your Valentine for the night.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
