On day early. well if you want to start it could you also Keep up with it..

say after each award is given, edit your thread to reflect the said award?

seems there are no reporters on the red carpet. they have cameras showing the stars arrive, but all the discussion and commentary are coming from the studios.

Red Carpet portion was cancelled because of sercurity concerns.

anyone want to talk about the dresses?


I like Kate Hudson's and Heather Graham's.

oh. just realized there's a chat going on too. let me see.....

I see Chris Connelly on ABC, I know he's not much of a reporter but still.

I fear this will be a trainwreck of an awards ceremony if some of the presenters feel compelled to open their big political yaps and tell the world their views on the war. This would be the time to have a big hook ready to gong show them out of there, or use a trap door behind the podium to get rid of such politicking on an awards show.

seems only ABC reporters are allowed to be there

hgar78, yep u have the responsibility now

as long as Nicole Kidman DOESN'T win,. i'm happy

Nichole should have won last year

I am totally with you Rypro that is why I do not want Chicago to win tonight. Moulin Rouge was so much better.

If Julianne doesn't win, I don't know what is going on.

lol

Mickey we're sorry we couldn't get you a better seat, but Vin Diesel is here!"

I didn't realize Steve Martin slept with Stitch!

Spirted Away win best animated film

SPIRITED AWAY.

Great film, I devinitly would've picked it. But i'm a little suprised it beat out the huge Disney films.

at least the night isn't a total wash. spirited away!!

Lord of the rings gets it's first award.. and I'm sure one of it's only. CGI gold.

Well to be techincal.. it was a disney Distributed film.. so they do get some credit or else it would just be up for foriegn films.

Ack....those Beyonce Pepsi commericals begin airing today. I can't believe I'm going say this, but bring Britney back!

this commercial sucks\

What is Zach de la Rocha doing in a Pepsi commercial?

What happened to the "only thank 5 people" limit?

if i could sleep with Kidman, i wouldn't mind having to sleep with Stitch afterwards
