81st Academy Awards Show thread ...Movie Talk or TV Talk?

i know this seems as an insane thread as i have ever produced (or perhaps the most logical i ever produced ), but I was just looking back at past awards show discussion threads and see that they have been posted in both over the years, mostly in TV Talk though.

i've created the couple i did in Movie Talk as i think that is the apropos forum since the discussion is about the movies and winners and losers, etc... it just happens to be shown on tv and yes, there is discussion about the actual show, but isn't it more about the film medium and not tv?


so when Sunday rolls around, which would be the best forum to discuss it in (for whoever starts it)?

In Movie Talk. We care about the event, not the broadcast.

2 threads:

Movie Talk to discuss the award winners/bitch about snubs.

TV Talk to discuss the broadcast, lighting, clothes and the like.

I always thought that thats how its always been.

I say TV Talk to discuss the show itself, and Movie Talk to discuss who won what.

I'm sure you'll start it so just make the thread already, you need more posts. And make it a poll.

I think only screencaps of cleavage should be in the TV Talk area thread on the Oscars.

One all encompassing thread in Movie Talk. Having two threads in two separate forums would be plain silly. Discuss it all in one great big thread - the good, the bad, the the Debbie Allen dance routines....
