So, the Oscars, you guys. For all the Academy’s attempts to make this a real edge-of-your-seat party, it was mostly predictable, plenty boring, and enough with the Slumdog Millionaire already. The only real upset of the night, of course, was the Sean Penn win for Best Actor, and that was just sad. Any other upset would have been way cooler than that upset, but Rourke wuz robbed. Also, what was up with those sound editing awards? Slumdog You’vegottobekiddingmenaire.
Anyway, we’ve put together a few of our “favorite” moments (don’t take that word too seriously, plz), including Will Smith’s Reddit moment, Ben Stiller’s Christian Bale Joaquin Phoenix parody, and check out our new photo gallery function! We make love to your eyes now. (What? Gross. Sorry. But also check out our new photo gallery function.)
And then let’s be done with this silliness and go back to the important work of cataloging the world’s finest trampoline accidents, because at least they still have some integrity. (They=trampolines?)
Most Adorable Speech: Winners apologizing for their bad English was taken to a new level when Kunio Kato thanked Mr. Roboto:
Nobody will get it in a year, but the funniest part of the night: Ben Stiller as Joaquin Phoenix:
Will Smith flubbed a line and then said “Boom goes the dynamite”! Perfect. I think this internet thing is really going to take off.
Judd Apatow’s “short film” for the Oscars. Because “lazy rehash of well-tread territory” didn’t sound as good. Does anyone even care about this thing anymore? Show some respect!
And the Moon Man for “Best Kiss” goes to…(also, seriously, Academy Awards? Forgetting Sarah Marshall doesn’t need to be in the program anywhere).
The end. Goodbye to all this.

my favorite part of the night was after the “tribute to the musical” when hugh jackman shouted to no one in particular “THE MUSICAL IS BACK!”
it never went away, ms. jackman. it never went away.
That was great….his basis was that Mama Mia outsold Titanic somewhere (i don’t remember where he said now). So using that criteria……. was Titanic culture all the rage before the musical took it over sometime in late 2008?
That Pineapple sketch was reeeeeeeally long!
get fat again, seth rogan!
Boom goes the dynamite!
Never gets old….
HUGE-Ackman did a good job, but I especially enjoyed the crazy little Frenchman.
I disagee. I think it was a better Oscar’s show then I’ve seen for awhile. The didn’t drag out diving the awards by letting the same presenters do consecutive awards, the live performances of the best songs were interesting. Some of the bits were corny, but I liked the past winners giving each nominee their moment. It wasn’t annoyingly political, thanks especially the dude that won for screenplay for milk. It wasn’t annoyingly Obama. Overall, it was an entertaining show. I mean, my favorite movies of 08 Changling and Frost/Nixon got nothing, but Slumdog is a good modern film. Lastly, kuddos to Natalie Portman, winner for best dressed.
“…you look like you work at a hasidic meth lab”
I love you forevs, Natalie.
I still can’t believe Penn won over Rourke
And the Videogum chat room was way more fun than the actual ceremony. Same time next year I hope?
Really people are upset that Rourke lost? I’m personally happy that Penn won, but even Mickey said it himself, you can’t hug it, fuck it and it wont get you into heaven. That’s real talk guys.
I thought this year’s show zipped along at a good clip. Then again I was watching at a bar and only half-paying attention so that helped. Fewer montages this year except for the expected (dead ppl) but the Romance 2009 was the worst. Ever.
Funniest thing was not Ben Stiller since that bit was tired before it hit the stage. Funniest line: ‘Please welcome the Craigslist dancers.’ .
Michael Shannon Christopher Walken comparison was brilliant.
My favorite part was the Animated montage where they pretended Space Chimps, Star Wars The Clone Wars and Madagascar 2 weren’t terrible movies.
I liked Alan Arkin’s “Seymour Philip Hoffman” flub because it’s just a better three name sequence all around.
My favorite part was watching the weird look on Robert Pattison’s face when the camera was on Mickey Rourke
I don’t think anyone actually watched Frost/Nixon or we could dispense with this “Mickey rourke got robbed” schtick and just give Frank Langella the statue.
