Running these movie clips takes too much time IMO. Liked it last year when they omitted them.

Best Supporting Actor goes to:

Tim Robbins!

Finally, a win for Tim! Like we didn't really see it coming.

how many best picture winners are actual set in modern times?

Tim wins as expected.

Now will he go political....

Who's the hottie Oscar blonde?

No surprise here.

Dang, Marcia Gay Harden is stacked! (.) (.)

no politics

Tim uses his spotlight in the sun to speak on the behalf of abused people.

Thought his rant was legit. Already a commercial break!! It starts.

Marcia Gaye Harden is expecting twin babies soon.

shoulda given it to Kenny

I assume modern you mean the current year. Off the top of my head, recently:

Silence of the Lambs 1990
American Beauty 1999


recent winners not set in modern times: Dances with Wolves, Unforgiven, Schindler's List, Forrest Gump, Braveheart, English Patient, Titanic, Shakespeare in Love, Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, Chicago

Enjoyed the Jason Biggs diet Pepsi commercial.

Damn...Jason Biggs is a retard!!!

Love the Scorsese ad though!

Enjoyed the Martin Scorsese AMEX commercial.

another political joke

Another political joke...

Ian was running a bit late.

Here come Gandalf. :)

ian was a little slow coming out

Darn it. I cried again during that clip.

Peter Jackson is about to bust out of his shirt!
