Title: Oscar Night Plans - March 5
Post by: chrissy323 on Feb 12, 2006, 11:33 PM
Join the forum members for BBM sweep on March 5 in this live thread

Live thread is a lot of fun. The forum had 3 live threads, check the out.

Golden Globe (http://www.ennisjack.com/index.php?topic=438.0)
SAG Award (http://www.ennisjack.com/index.php?topic=920.0)
BAFTA (http://www.ennisjack.com/index.php?topic=1696.0)



I was watching TV and there was an ad for the Oscars -- "3 weeks from tonight"!!!!

So I was thinking of what I'll need for Oscar Night. Popcorn - its a movie thing, I always have popcorn on Oscar night. But then I thought, what else does a Brokie need?

I have my cowboy hat, my "Jack Nasty Loves You" t-shirt, and a can of beans. Probably need some whiskey too.

What else?

I will be watching it.  Can't wait!  Hmmm? Maybe I should get me cowboy hat too?  I don't think I would want the beans or whiskey! HEHE!

LOL   Just think about the types of things you'd take to a late night screening of "Rocky Horror" or "Mommy Dearest".     

Flannel shirts, western boots, jeans, beer in addition to the "Old Rose" whiskey, cowboy hat.  Guess a horse is out of the question, but if you have a saddle you'll get that authentic leather smell.

 Hmm...I'll have to think about it some more.

"boozehound" is like "class" it cannot be taught it is either inherent in the very fiber of your bieng or it is acquired after years of practice.

I prefer practice infact I am so good at it I don't have to practice it anymore I am quite the expert.

You know you are a true "boozehound" when you wake up in the morning after a night out find that someone had stepped on your tongue.

Oh, not to worry! I will work something out! I am so excited about all of this I can hardly stand it! I am so glad that we can all be on line together..sharing and , hopefully, celebrating!! Honestly, I'll buy a new TV for my bedroom if'n I have to! (That's where the PC is located)

Great. And remember you can return it after the Oscar.  ;D Or even better...buy a 50' Plasma TV for BBM DVD (I am serioulsy considering it)

I already know I will sleep in the afternoon..the Oscars will not start till 1am UK time, will have the red carpet at 12am..but am not expecting to go to bed before 5 am!! So yes calling in sick sounds like the solution. Or maybe I can miss the 1st and 2nd period! *she says as she checks her diary*

We are going to have a BIG live thread. Please join us in the forum for BBM.

Wonderful idea ! It would be nice to join you. But I first have to discover if the show will be shown on any European channels.  :-\ Stephan

I have been trying to figure this out myself...

They don't show it on any of the Dutch channels so I'm totally depended on either BBC 1 or 2 to show the whole thing... I really want to see this live and not just read about it the next day and figure out who won in two seconds... ::crosses fingers for all Europeans::

Alas the only audience that gets to see the Oscars live is the East Coast (Eastern Standard Time) of the US.  Though the ceremoney takes place at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles (about 150 miles from where I live) it's on a three hour delay locally because of the time difference (Pacific Standard Time).  With a three hour delay it becomes old news - news of the winners are all over the Internet by that time.   >:(

The only way around this is to have dish or satellite TV but I have cable.  It's all about marketing and getting the biggest audience.   I'm thinking about changing to a dish network.

Am so excited about oscar night, I can hardly contain myself.  But won't be able to watch it on tv, as don't have sky movies (which is the only channel UK viewers can see it on live), so will be on line for a while to soak up the no-doubt euphoric atmosphere which will be created for such a night for our Brokeback boys.  I'm worried though that once I get on here, I won't be able to tear myself away and go to bed (due to work and children)! 

As well as the necessary food and drink requirements that such a prestigious night demands, how about us all donning cowboy hats with "Jack Nasty Loves You" on the front!  It'll be like a communal good-luck charm to our boys!  I'm relying on Jake to live up to the promise he made on Oprah, if he wins he did say he's going declare that "Jack Nasty Loves you"!!! 

Jake winning will be amazing enough, but am getting goosebumps at the thought of Heath winning best actor.....know I'll start crying, especially if he talks about his "two girls"!!!!  :'(

ABC Averages $1.7 million for Oscar Ads[/b]

By Steve Gorman  -  Reuters  - 24/2/2006 

The ABC network, flush from its blockbuster Super Bowl telecast, is reaping yet another bonanza from its upcoming Oscar show, traditionally one of the most watched events of the year on U.S. television.

The Walt Disney Co.-owned network has sold its entire advertising inventory for the March 5 Academy Awards broadcast for an average of $1.7 million per 30-second spot, up from $1.6 million last year, an ABC source said on Friday.

With an allotment of about 48 commercial spots during the Oscar show, that would come to nearly $82 million for the entire three-hour telecast.

By comparison, ABC averaged $2.5 million for each 30-second ad sold for the February 8 broadcast of the Super Bowl, which drew more than 90 million viewers to rank as the most watched U.S. TV program in 10 years.

The Oscar ad hike comes even though the audience of 41 million who tuned in for last year's telecast, capped by the triumph of boxing drama "Million Dollar Baby," was down 5 percent from 2004, when "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" was the big winner.

Nielsen ratings for the Academy Awards tend to rise and fall according to the commercial popularity of the films in contention.

This year, as in 2005, the nominees for the film industry's highest honors are dominated by relatively small-scale movies that drew modest audiences, such as "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crash," as opposed to box office blockbusters like "Lord of the Rings" or "Titanic."

But ABC and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is counting on a ratings boost from the new Oscar host, popular comic and Comedy Central star Jon Stewart.

Aside from generally ranking as the second biggest night on television after the Super Bowl, the Oscars tend to draw a higher-than-usual quotient of upscale viewers, particularly among those who normally watch little TV.

This makes the Oscar audience especially attractive to advertisers.

An ABC spokeswoman said the majority of this year's Oscar advertisers are returning sponsors, and more than half the ads will launch new commercial campaigns.

Among the brands making an appearance on the Oscar show this year will be American Express, Coca-Cola Co., General Motors Corp., Procter & Gamble Co., State Farm insurance and the McDonald's fast-food chain.

Conspicuously absent are any film studios, which Academy rules bar from advertising on the Oscars.

My apologies, you're right Karind I just checked the local listings and it does start at 5 pm local time live.  I don't know when they changed it.   The amount of money they are making for the commercials, it should be live.   Red Carpet starts at 3 pm local - well more post-Oscar chat time on this BOard when it's over here at 8 pm local.  More Oscar party time for the actors and actresses.   ;D

If both Heath and Jake win, I think I will hyperventilate!   :P :P

I can just see them now, accepting their awards: 

Jake: screams "Jack Nasty Loves you", makes funny jokes, everyone laughs, everyone loves him.  Heath runs up on stage and hugs him.....

Heath:  "I love my 2 girls, I love Ang, I love Jake", messes nervously with hair, cries, Jake runs on stage and hugs him......

I think I'm hyperventilating already!

Froggy, it was a link you put on your own message!  To the oscars.  Once on the website, there's a link to win a trip to the 2007 oscars, and you have to submit your votes for who you want to win each category.  Then when you've done that, it calculates each category and - viola - there it is in (not quite) black and white.  Heath in lead to win best actor, Jake in lead to win best supporting actor.  BBM to win best film and director, but we knew that already.

When I saw the results I was like this:  :o, then  :P and then  ;D ;D - but mostly  :P

It's ok froggy, I understand - none of us think straight when it comes to our beautiful brokeback boys (straight being the operative word!  ha ha).

I hope everyone on this forum submits their votes, cos it could mean that Heath and Jake go off the radar with all the votes!  It might cause a national grid failure, though (or something, not sure cos I'm not good when it comes to things technical/electrical) - but it might also cause a national talking point, due to so many votes being submitted for Heath and Jake, which might then grab the attention of national and international tv, which might then get back to those people in oscar-land who make the final decisions on who gets what award, and Heath and Jake might end up on that stage, accepting awards for the best film ever made.

Oh, I love being dramatic!

VOTE NOW EVERYBODY!!!!!

You're right Ethan, the Supporting Actor/Actress awards start the event.  It may be an omen of how things will be going for the rest of the evening.  At the end is Best Actor/Actress, Best Director and the last award is Best Picture.  In between is Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Score and Best Cinematography.

I still have a hard time with the Best Actress category.  No one from BBM there.  Felicity Huffman did an amazing job in "Transamerica" and I enjoyed Keira Knightley in P&P and of course Judi Dench in "Mrs Henderson Presents".  Not partial to Reese Witherspoons or Charlize Theron'd performances.

WHY DON'T you all just update in englad or europe to that sky that is showing oscars and then cancel it next day so you only have to pay for a day of use??  or something?  is that possible--???? ???  or how about satellite tv-do you have that there?  like direct tv or dish network or something?  where you can get american channels beamed?  also how about satellite radio like xm or sirius?  also check out www.abc.com they may have streaming video or maybe cnn has streaming video in their new streaming video - thingy i forget name of it - something like pinpoint or something....or call abc tv in new york and ask them how to see broadcast in europe?  call OSCAR'S DIRECT OR E MAIL THEM.  I KNOW THIS IS TELECAST AROUND THE WORLD.  I AM SURE OF THAT.  oh, and check your local papers and such and call local tv- i bet people with satellite or whatever are having free oscar watching- like bars and hotels and maybe even a cinema- live.  check it out.

In Spain, and the rest of Europe too, canal + will broadcast the event live, and that's where I'm going to hook. The only problem is the time, it will be 3 a.m. but I'm taking the following day off so...who cares!! I don't want to miss it by no means this year.

Post by: hidesert on Feb 28, 2006, 10:20 PM
I was just looking at the list of Presenters for Oscar night.  Does it strike anyone else as odd that no one from BBM is listed as a presenter?

The List from oscar.com:

Jessica Alba
Jennifer Aniston
Chris "Ludacris" Bridges (Crash & Hustle and Flow)
Sandra Bullock (Crash)
George Clooney (Good Night and Good Luck & Syriana)
Clint Eastwood
Will Ferrell
Jamie Foxx
Morgan Freeman
Tom Hanks
Terrence Howard (Crash & Hustle and Flow)
Nicole Kidman
Keanu Reeves
Queen Latifah
Will Smith
Meryl Streep
Hilary Swank
Charlize Theron (North Country)
Uma Thurman
Lily Tomlin
Naomi Watts (King Kong)
Luke Wilson
Owen Wilson
Reese Witherspoon (Walk the LIne)
_____________________________

Three actors from "Crash" are presenters:  Sandra Bullock, Ludacris and Terence Howard.  Maybe Heath, Jake and Michelle didn't want to present (nominee jitters), but there's always Anne Hathaway and Randy Quaid who were not nominated.

Just thought their choice of presenters was interesting.

You guys are too funny!  I'm all for Heath remaining seated as well--as in making no presentation speeches!  As for accepting the award, I think he will do ok because he doesn't have to read a script.  Nonetheless, we all know that he will be on the stage at one point or another. I have everything crossed also, but I think he's going to be on the stage when BBM wins Best Picture....but that's just my guess.

Off topic--but I watched Capote this past weekend. OMG.......it was unspeakably horrible. It was so boring. The story could have been told in 15 mins. BBM or no BBM I don't see where anyone gets Capote for "best" anything. Even Hoffman was too "over the top" with his Capote portrayal. After 5 minutes of the nasal voice it really was enough. My husband refused to even finish watching it. I really just don't get the hype?

I know it was sincere advice.  Many great actors and actresses don't like the stage when they're not in character - think of Sean Penn.   I too wish him all the best on March 5th.

Hi Ethan!

I haven't been around in awhile due to school and work wanting to drive me to an early grave....

Anyhoo-- I have been trying to watch all of the best picture nominations and so far I'm really not impressed. I gave up after Capote. My girlfriend said to give up after Capote because Good Night and Munich were even worse. I took her advice because I want the two hours that I wasted on Capote back!  I just wanted to see what BBM was up against... But again...I think they are going to have to give Crash a nod and I hate to say but I think it's about 50/50 for Crash and BBM for best picture. But I think Crash is so overhyped it's sickening.

Cora

I want to watch but I can't bear all the suspense leading up the awards. I may just record the event, then go online to see the results, and *then* see the shows. I know, I'm weird. But sometimes I just can't stand the pressure (and sometimes the let down) before each award presentation.

For the ppl who are unlucky, like me, and can't receive any channels that airs the Oscars, I found a way to watch the Oscars over the internet  ;D

You need the following programs:

ppstream : http://www.ppstream.com
or
pplive: http://www.pplive.com/english/index.shtml

I recommend pplive because the ppstream program is completely in chinese and the website and streams are pretty slow.

Now find the following channel on that site and click it: CCTV-6

This is a chinese movie channel that supposedly ( http://www.oscar.com/oscarnight/broadcast.html ) airs the oscars live. The quality of the video stream is pretty good.

There's another site: http://www.atnzone.com/moviezone/oscars/2006/live/ with "Interactive coverage"... But I doubt they have live video streams there.

Oscar nominee get gift bags worth thousands $$$.  Most of the nominees are multimillionaires and they get it free. Marketing, marketing, marketing ....

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=1683868

Yep...one year some got plasma screen TVs, space on the moon and so on!!
Not only are they rich, beautiful etc...they also get freebies!!! 

That's disgusting, but I guess take it and run.  Their actor/actress "stars" will eventually dim and fall just like sports stars encounter.

Something we've never discussed is that it's possible for two people to win Oscars in the same category.  It's happened at least twice that I can find - 1931 and 1968.  In 1968 both Katherine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand won for Best Actress.

They hire members of the public, Looks like the homeless to me, for the rehearsals.

Also during the show, when actors go to the john, they have people to sit in their seats so it doesn't look empty. I read once they use look-a-likes....he obviously isn't one of them....unless it's John Travolta's double wearing the wrong placard  (meiaoooow)

A loo sitter job wouldn't be bad - I wonder how I apply?

A beautiful day on the West Coast and no rain predicted for "Oscar Night" so no BAFTA repeat with the umbrullas.

Apparently the list of Presenters is still in flux.  I belong to another Board of "serious" - no it's obsessed Oscar fans.  They either have someone inside the Kodak Theatre watching the rehearsals or they have pictures.

Tried to get a copy of the night's program but apparently that is not released so we don't know the order of awards.  Someone pointed out that "old" supporting first isn't true anymore as last year they gave out art direction first.  Ok the producers want to keep us all watching so the sponsors make their money - the sponsors are paying as I recall $1.7 million for a 30 second ad.

I'm pulling for him and I think he'll do very well.  He has so many good writers behind him who have done the Oscar shows before.  They've been practicing, practicing, practicing for weeks so it will flow smoothly.  I predict (for what it is worth) that he will be a success and will do it again in future years.

As a few of you know, we are not getting the Oscars on BBC this year. Except on cable.

I did not want to re-subscribe to cable for a year....so I got an internet viewer kit online (about $24) I know ...addicted. And it's a one of payment.  :-X

I've tried it out and the oscar link gives a few countries and channels that will be screening it live. I've tuned into a few and it looks like I may be watching with you all and I'll be on the live thread.

I'll be able to view these channels forever now so that's a bonus. Just gotta learn all these new languages now...help me Monicita !

I did not want to re-subscribe to cable for a year....so I got an internet viewer kit online (about $24) I know ...addicted. And it's a one of payment.  :-X

I've tried it out and the oscar link gives a few countries and channels that will be screening it live. I've tuned into a few and it looks like I may be watching with you all and I'll be on the live thread.

I'll be able to view these channels forever now so that's a bonus. Just gotta learn all these new languages now...help me Monicita !  Tom 


Hurrah!!!!!    Was that your Jacques Daniels money you spent on the viewer?   LOL ;D

OMG...I laughed so much..the guy from E! just made me laugh so much!

OK there is this guy who gives his shirt for charity, he removed it on the E! show (gorgeous man!!!) anyway the girls were joking around about his Gucci shirt and Gucci cologne, and asked if he would donate his jeans for charity too...so he said yes and removed the trousers, they had to cut to the man on the red carpet...because it might have been a little OT for live broadcast..and the chap on the red carpet to say:

"Well I think I just had a brokeback moment, man I can't quit you right now!!!"

So cool!!!

gonna spend the night at my favorite local bar.  Best friend is the bartender and it's a bit of a tradition now.  Going to personally drive to the suburbs and TP's PSH's Mom's house if he wins.  He's a local (Rochester, NY).  I know it doesn't sound very mature, but that's just how it's going to be.  I do believe it wont be necessary as I'm feeling a Brokeback sweeping upset in all categories.

maybe I'm biased.  Watching it right now.  Ennis should get his ass in the tent RIGHT NOW.

here's a fun drinking game ...

Oscars: 'I'd like to thank Bud and Smirnoff'

A drinking game to get you through those Oscar lulls

Written by Tim Karan

(March 3, 2006)

Personal experience has shown that extended exposure to Gwyneth Paltrow can cause migraines, dizziness and the phenomenon in which your brain shuts down and literally falls out of your head.

Fair warning: Paltrow exposure will likely reach dangerous levels during this year's Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, March 5.

Actually, self-important presenters, horrific musical numbers and Melissa Rivers are enough to make anyone drink.

So to keep you from going nuts Shirley MacLaine-style, we've assembled this Oscars drinking game.

Just watch the show with a cocktail in hand, and for once actually look forward to Paltrow talking.

Take one drink:

# whenever recipients ignore the music signifying that they should wrap up their speeches.
# every time an award winner starts walking offstage in the wrong direction.

# whenever the camera spots Reese Witherspoon in the audience and Ryan Phillipe thrusts himself into the shot.

# every time George Clooney looks smug.

# anytime Jon Stewart makes fun of Republicans.

# when a presenter stares blankly at the teleprompter or misses a cue. (Get ready when Keanu is up.)

# when an American speaks with a faux British accent. (Pace yourself when Paltrow is talking.)

# if Jamie Foxx sings or pimps his album.

# anytime a presenter or winner refers to someone famous with a name that shows how "in" they are (like "Bobby DeNiro" or "Tony Hopkins.")

Take two drinks:

# if anyone looks remotely interested during the speech by the Best Documentary Short Subject winner(s).

# every time a winner says someone is "my rock."

# anytime a joke bombs. (Better make this two sips.)

# when they show clips of those who've passed away during the year and you or someone you're with says, "Wow. That person died?"

# when several unknowns walk onstage to accept an award when only one or two were named.

Chug:

# if Peter Jackson's hair is combed.

# if Matt Dillon wins and makes even a remotely intelligent speech.

# if anyone interacts with a CGI or animated character.
