Well, folks, the Oscars are on tonight and we’ve got a commenting upgrade just in time. Check back here as soon as they start, and you should be able to see new comments at the top, which conveniently appear without you having to reload. We’ll be able to read each other’s witty banter, just like as if we were watching it together, but without the smell. Remember to play along with our drinking game, and together, we’ll make it through this. It’ll be, like, fun.



Following the drinking game was a mistake. Work today has been miserable
LIVER CHECK!
…
Still alive!
2,000 comments. Not too shabby there Vincenzo.
Sasha Baron Cohen as “The Dictator” Was brilliant for making Kim Jung Il not so “Ronery”
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnguh. *takes 5 Excedrin, puts hot water bottle on head*
……..f*ck you, Vince.
Sorry to be the one that points this out, but doesn’t Octavia Spenser look EXACTLY like every variation of the ‘Mammy’ stereotype that has ever been created?
She’s all pop-eyes, pursed lips and “Hmmm-hmm” wisdom.
still don’t want to accept streep winning best actress for acting like a total clown as thatcher…that clip of her saying she’s fought everyday of her life really puts things in perspective in that the academy are a bunch of old white dudes that have no clue…anyway robert downey jr tebowing made my year. other than that drive should have been nominated for everything so don’t care about this round, goodnight!
Margret Thatcher was the fucking Devil.
She utterly destroyed a once-great nation. Fucking snagfgle-toothed piece of shit.
Where was Nicholson?
Se7en is on Spike. Better than anything that was “honored” tonight.
Too true.
Fincher triumphs over all these assholes by just going: “You know what? I made SE7EN. So fuck y’all…”
you tried with the open thread. and there was some good stuff. but the racist and xenophobic element was greater than expected. bummed me out. i’m not afraid of racist jokes, but racial hatred is looney and ignorant. next time, maybe just a panel of commenters. let the trolls and dicks comment somewhere else.
Which Official Filmdrunk Oscars Open Thread were you reading?
alright, maybe it was mostly CROCSHOTS with tons of comments similar to this:
“SCREW IRAN, LET’S BOMB FRANCE! WHO’S WITH ME????”
You can’t let one or two assh*les ruin what was mostly a series of TASTEFUL racist and xenophobic jokes.
I agree. Racism is only funny when it’s directed against non-whites.
point taken, beaner.
Dude, I think it was mostly for fun. I’m french, and I did not take umbrage of those xenophobic jokes. I was genuinely upset for Dujardin’s win. The guy is awesome, but Oldman should have won, if only to stipulate that Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was snubbed. And i’m fucking disgusted by Harvey Weinstein’s operation with The Artist. He managed to take an earnest movie and transform it into a winning machine. Hazanavicius and Dujardin and Bejo couldn’t really believed what was happening to them. I love Hazanavicius, He’s a cult director for my generation. Aside from the OSS 117 movies (pastiches of James Bond that make fun of our post-colonial paternalism (but of course)), he did a thing in the 90s called “La Classe Américaine” composed entirely of extracts from Warner Brothers movies from the 60s and the 70s (principally “All The President’s Men”) with John Wayne, Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart; dubbed in French, with mostly stupid and surreal dialogues. It’s awesome, and probably one of the most quotable movie we have.
/end French geekery
Anyway, I’m white, so even thought I can’t resist nicely sautéd frog legs, I’m not mad.
not a defense of anything oscar; a defense of educated humanity; a selection of the ignorance spewing from CROCSHOTS:
Good thing the Daytona 500 is on tomorrow to wash the french out of my eyes. USA! USA! USA!
SCREW IRAN, LET’S BOMB FRANCE! WHO’S WITH ME????
The negroes and the french are taking over the oscars.
Fucking french
That mexican guy isn’t javier bardem….
Goddamn this is a pompous shitfest. fuck these people.
This guys is totally going to surrender that oscar when Spielberg approaches him. (response to a french person winning an oscar)
Of course hollywood is lapping up the french shit.
Fedora guy is the catcher for sure.
Hey pakistan, remember when you assholes were hiding bin laden? Why should you get an oscar? (america, remember when you invaded iraq to avenge a past humiliation?)
THE TERRORISTS WIN AGAIN!!! WHERE’S TED NUGENT WHEN YOU NEED HIM????
I see adele is presenting tonight. (i hate fat peolpe!)
Winner for live action short film; Those fat fucks waaaaay in the back!
Ok, Zombies are dead and Kenny powers is done. TIME TO FUCK WITH HOLLYWOOOD!! (he likely doesn’t understand the dark side of eastbound and down)
Also, that chick in the descendants needs to be naked soon.
FUCK THE FROGS
Now in gif form.
Goodnight everyone, see ya all next year!
For the record, it also stole friday night’s césars (french academy awards) It’s good, but no way it was the best movie of 2011.
Viva La France!
We farted in your general direction.
My girlfriend says the Artist was really good, and she actually saw most of the films nominated, so I assume the most deserving film won. I haven’t actually seen a movie in the theaters since… um…. Star Trek? Maybe? Watchmen?
Say what you will about the Oscars, at least Bridesmaids didn’t win anything.
Agreed.
True. Bridesmaids worst comedy of the year.
Worst comedy of the year? Really? You’re obviously not aware of Bucky Larson or Jack & Jill. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
I know, they’re probably a lot worse. I was gonna write the worst I have seen this year but was to tired to bother, also seen 30: minutes or less that where not funny for a second. Maybe cause I hate the actors.
For one minute there were 2012 comments and it kinda freaked me out. I just wanted to share that.
Hey, me too…I guess that makes us Piss Pals?
If you want to see Nolte is his most Nolte-esque performance go watch Luck on HBO.
Whenever I see Nolte I hear him as Han Solo.
Vince, we hope you survived your drinking game.
Vince is African-americaned out
GOOD NIGHT SPRINGTON, THERE WILL BE NO ENCORE!
Time to go watch season 1 of Justified on Netflix. Yeah, I’m behind the times. Fuck you.
good night film drunkards!
in all seriousness, that was even more horrible than i thought it would be. except for coke wizard. and emma stone.
The red Filmdrunk shirt was a mixed blessing. It helped summon the Coke Wizard, but unfortunately the show continued.
well, I’m off to pass out on the couch and dream of Emma Stone. Night!
Everyone now go watch The Walking Dead. It’s good again.
Fuck yeah.
Great, another movie that no one outside of hollywood gives a shit about or will remember in 10 years sweeps the Oscars. Way to have your old, arthritis-y, shit stanked fingers on the pulse of culture Academy. Fuck you in stupid old dicks.
Good thing the Daytona 500 is on tomorrow to wash the french out of my eyes. USA! USA! USA!
Coke wizard!!!
They knew who FilmDrunk wanted to see at the end
COKE WIZARD!
I know, he won an Oscar. I almost yelled it out, but my husband would have not known a thing.
SO MUCH MOTHERLOVING INTRIGUE
Uno the beagle would destroy that dog.
No wit to end with, Billy? Color me shocked
Why start now?
what ist over waht am He sposed ta drink too now?
Marty should have had Daniel Day Lewis come out with the mustache from Gangs dressed as Lincoln and start slaughtering everyone while riding War Horse. <—best Oscars ever.
Well that was fun.
Uggie! Uggie! Uggie! Uggie!
The amount that this selection is less surprising than Streep getting best actress is smaller than the new subatomic particle the Hadron collider discovered, yet double the size Tom Cruise’s stature.
Well done, sir.
He must admit, when He reread it, The Mighty Feklahr couldn’t believe it was all phrased correctly.
Jesus, this year has been more French than a croissant waiving a white flag.
+1000
cue wailing indian man
6 in the morning (in Paris) police at my crib

thanks for entertaining me tonight, folks! good night.

Well thanks to all Filmdrunkerds for making this shit watchable!
Did he swing out on stage via a bungee cord to present it?
I really hope the dog takes a shit on the stage.
Why not? Billy Crystal’s been taking one for the last three hours.
Harvey Dubs ain’t care
YOU’RE CUTTING INTO UGGIE’S SPEECHTIME, CREPEDICK!
I didn’t really give a shit, just wanted to see the dog.
SCREW IRAN, LET’S BOMB FRANCE! WHO’S WITH ME????
I’ll reenlist.
i’m against you.
