Members jcar03 Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 The whole WWE thing never happened so I don't think that had any thing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'd MUCH rather watch clips of the performances over watching former winners give heartfelt speeches to the nominees while reading off a teleprompter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bandbfan Posted February 23, 2009 Members Share Posted February 23, 2009 Ratings were up 10%, so hopefully they'll incorporate last night's elements in to future ceremonies. Although I hope the Emmys and GG's don't just copy everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DavidEvanSmith Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 I loved it. It really honored the history by having the "clubs" accept new members into their fold with the speeches, and that the speeches drew parallels between the one giving the speech and the one they were speaking about. LOL, about the screwup where Philip Seymour Hoffman was referred to as "Seymour Philip Hoffman", did you see his face?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 As good as Slumdog was and it deserves the accolades..... its going to go down as one of the most forgettable Best Picture winners ever.... much the way of Crash and Chariots of Fire.... Yay for Kate I felt the whole presentation came off rather forced and boring at times..... or all the hype... did not live up to it. It was also one of the most predictable years in recent memory. No real surprises.... however I suppose Sean Penn could be seen as somewhat of a surprise. I really thought they would have given it to Rourke.
