YAY! WE DID IT! We survived another year. Tonight’s Oscars are hard-earned, right, you guys? The BP Oil Spill? Egypt? As Amistad said, we are doing cheerleading human pyramids on the shoulders of all of our ancestors in order to prepare for this stupid award ceremony hosted by James Franco and Ricky Gervais the girl from Love and Other Drugs. (I think my favorite part about that joke is that it is culturally sensitive, and tonally appropriate.) You know what, though? Now that the Golden Globes are kind of a thing, and also so many other garbage award shows (Spike Something?), I think we can all admit that the Oscars kind of DO feel like they’re more important than they used to be, even though they also are very much not important at all, because at the very least they don’t give out Moon Mans. SO: let’s watch the Oscars together! A Videogum Tradition! Follow us on Twitter here and here (and here). Leave your comments in the comments. LET’S GET READY TO OSCARRSSSSSSSS!

I was starting to get a little bored but Randy Newman followed by Mandy Moore brought me back in.
Really disappointed Robert Smith’s song from Horse Play wasn’t nominated.
Winner for best hair.
An autotune song? Alright, I’m out
I know right? How can they shit all over Ron and Hermiones’ love like that.
This is the worst funny autotune thing ever.
LOL?
wonder what the olds think about the autotune segment LOL
Finally, something genuine.
Finding Forrester’s Comment
Gwen’s dress is the same as her panties when she flashed her cooch.
Remember that? Man. everyone was pissed off that day.
color. same color as her panties.
shut you.YOU are the drunk one.
Wow, even I thought that was shitty. So super fucking shitty.
Dear Lena Horne,
That’s what she said.
Sincerely,
The Internet
Kathryn Bigelow just got to present because she has boobs. #facts. #jokesfromlastyear
Did someone tell James Franco to not look into the camera while smiling like a jackass? That’s been his shtick the whole show.
Interesting that he’s getting less play than Anne.
Way less too. Very odd show.
I could not have watched myself do the ugly academy award winning cry…props to you Natalie!
Oh, crap, why am I only now realizing there is an open thread on here. Damn
Amirite ladies & some gentlemen:
They shoulda tossed up a spoiler alert…
I don’t have a TV, but I can pretty much imagine what’s going on based on the comments in this post. Thanks, monsters.
Whatever you’re imagining, it’s worse.
which is why i’m glad i’m not watching.
Easily the worst Oscar’s I’ve ever seen.
Bring back Steve Martin and Alec (Mr.) Baldwin.
ALSO,
No more stroke survivors please.
What was the point of having James Franco and Anne Hathaway hosting? What exactly did they bring to the table? That coulda been any two people on earth hosting.
Charlie Sheen via Conference Call?
Yes!
