I give them credit for trying something different and changing up the format, but MY GOD they are clueless about what to do with it.

How much did Cuba Gooding Jr. pay them to be there?

He refused. The producers where giving him only 65 seconds to include his song in a medley.

It was smart to use Cuba Gooding Jr. to warn of the dangers you face when you let your career go down the shitter.

Thats great. I give him props for not being a dick about it...And almost laughing at the humor of it.

He will pop out of a hole in the stage, and ask "Why so serious?" in front of a shocked crowd.

...sorry. :D

Basically. You can really see it on Brolin & RDJ's faces. Was hoping for RDJ clip though, sucks.

Are they going to start playing music to cut the eventual standing O short, so it is kept to 45sec?

Mr. Cinema 02-22-09 09:07 PM

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 
Can you imagine the reaction if Ledger's name isn't announced? Yikes.
