2. The worst!
I'm a HUGE Oscar fan and shit year sucked ass. Pussy ass chicken shit mother fuckers. "Crash"?? Fuck that shit. It's like when "The Sting" won over "The Exorcist". The Academy is a bunch of fuck head. They can all eat shit and fucking die.

3. This year was one of the worst.
Where to begin? Whatever that piece of shit song was that was allegedly "The Best" was the worst selection I can remember.

Resse Witherspoon as Best Actress? Uh, no....

And I'm still trying to get over "Crash"...

Plus it was one of the least entertaining telecasts I can remember seeing.

This was one of the worst I can remember in a long time.

5. There are riot police in West Hollywood as we speak.
I need to go. I'm putting on my best Patty "Tania" Hearst outfit as we speak. We are marching to the Academy's office in Beverly Hills and burning that mother fucker to the ground!!!!! And doing it for the crime of Liza Minelli screwing Diana Ross out of her Oscar in 1972 just for the hell of it.

The Oscars! The Oscars! The Oscars are on fire!! We don't need no water let the mother fucker burn!!!!

6. Cutting off the Best Picture recipients...
...turned this Oscar ceremony into King Turd of Shit Mountain.

Have fun storming Beverly Hills! Wouldja mind picking up a suit from Brioni as long as you're rioting?

8. What size, hon?
We plan on trashing Rodeo Drive just for the hell of it on the way back? Shoes? Anything you might want? I'm compiling a list of little items to pick up on the way back.

This IS part of the agenda you know. You'll have to become "a gay" if you want this stuff.

4. No, really, say what you feel...!!
But yeah, I gotta agree that this awards ceremony left a helluva lot to be desired.

13. No, the awards two years ago was the worst...
When it was nothing but 'Lord of the Rings'. From beginning to end it was LOTR...a four hour long commercial for that trilogy. That's pretty much all it was.

I actually nodded off during that ceremony. Woke up long enough to see LOTR get another award.

That was the all time worst show EVER.

This one was actually entertaining and had variety.

I'm an Oscar fan as well, but I certainly know when not to take it so seriously.

11. Crash?
I thought Jack Nicholson was making some lame drunk joke and the boys from Price Waterhouse would tackle him at the podium. What a fucking joke.
