Just how many venues and events do the elitist pigs in Hollyweird need to all gather in clothing that costs more for one night than most of the "people" they claim to champion make in a year? We have the Oscars, Screen Actors Guild, Golden Globes, Peoples Choice, and a few others that slip my mind. Isn't 4 or 5 enough? Because of their inflated ego's do they need periodic stroking and public displays of their all-round superiority to feed the beast?

Can you think of another profession that has 4 or 5 gatherings a year to have a giant pretty people group grope and back patting session? Firemen, Insurance salesmen? When CitiBank did it everyone was upset.

You know it might not be so bad if they were even remotely in touch with reality. Movie revenue is down and the crap they produce year in and year out pretty much sucks. Even when there is a pearl it is likely to be snubbed unless it is an over the top social statement.

Best actor this year? Penn in MILK. I happened to get a hold of a bootleg copy of MILK a few weeks ago and made it 20 minutes into it. Perhaps I might have made it longer if they had chronicled Harvey Milk's life in a reasonable way instead of spending the first 20 minutes figuring out how many shots they could get of Sean Penn picking up young men, kissing and rolling around with them.

America must not have been all that excited about an over the top gay rompfest about the first popularly elected public figure in American history because it made $28M. Curious case of Benjamin Button make $128M.

Next, what is the outpouring of emotion and awe over Heath Ledger? Sure he was good as the Joker but was it even a mystery that Ledger, the new Hollyweird golden boy (Pause for trumpets) would win the Oscar as he had won every other award so far this year? Where else in America would a 28 year old crazy rich spoiled brat who offed himself with an overdose of heroin would be celebrated as a megalithic hero of all time?

This whole think makes me want to hurl.

Personally, I had never heard of the movie "MILK" till the last award show(can't remember which one that was) nominees for best picture were advertised on the news

Heath Ledger didn't die of a heroin overdose.

If you don't like Hollywood awards shows, don't watch them. I don't.

Was Changeling nominated for any awards? I watched that last night and thought it was EXCELLENT!

All I know.....I didn't watch it because my girl, Duffy, wasn't wearing her red dress and showing those Heaven-sent legs for days.......:hot:

It was nominated for a few, and Angelina Jolie was nominated for best actress. Here's the list.

Your right I was thinking someone else. Heath Ledger died from "acute intoxication from oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine. That is a whole lot better than heroin.

I feel the same way Pete does....These ego ridden people get these fancy little golden statues and purty cups for what? Doing their damn job that they get paid a gazillion bucks for...Do you see any other trades get awards for doing their jobs like these people do? I had a plumber come to my house last week and fix a water line...Did he win a "Plummie"? No, he just got the money and no award...Had a Carpenter build me a deck...Did he get a "Carpie"? Nope...I do think my Electrician got a "Sparkie" one time

I don't watch them.

It was ruled an accidental overdose of legally prescribed medications.

That's a bit different than the picture you painted of a heroin junkie shooting himself up and dying as a result.

On one hand, you have someone injecting an illegal drug. In Heath's case, you have someone accidentally overdosing on legal prescription drugs.

He's mad cuz "Stepbrothers" didn't get any nominations. :ohwell:

Another vote in agreement with Pete here! Maybe they could have had a 30 minute read of the winners and put ALL that $ toward doing something useful...wait, what am I thinking?:jameo:

Slumdog Millionaire wasn't about any of that, and that movie cleaned up.

Not that I'm ever planning on seeing it. I hardly ever see the Best Picture winners. The Oscars seem tilted towards the artsy and "serious" pictures. Every now and then a great "regular" movie slips through and wins, but it's rare.

I dont really think "accidental" overdose would be considered abusing drugs.

A movie star dying from an overdose is somewhat glamorous in a tragic sort of way. Cause they leave a much better looking corpse behind. Plus all the memories and good times they have given to us over the years.

A street junkie dying from overdose is just ... icky.

Prescribed to be taken all together? Never the less if you croaked from your narco-cocktail you think you would be celebrated and exalted?

I'm mad about that too. It makes me want to fill up a pillow case with bars of soap, and beat the #### out of someone.

Yes and by the same dr. (I have a anxiety disorder and I broke my ankle)

His performance as The Joker was stunningly brilliant.

All the glitz and glamour................oo la la.........cheek kiss.........Oh look there is your ex husband, he is with the chick he was porking when he was making a movie.........isn't she lovely and talented? While Brad is thinking Damn, why did those bastards have her present? How embarrassing......America's sweetheart and I screwed her over. Oh well the rubes love me besides it is too hard to be me to be held to any type of moral standard."

I was perscribed Xanax and Vicodin after I had Lasik- I had to take each every 4 hours-

Also, you have clearly not "researched" the whole story. He was perscribed Rx in Europe, and then different meds in the US. Just because someone OD's on Rx drugs does not mean they abused them.

Also, whats up with everyone getting "mad" about awards shows? YOU watch the movies, which is how they get rich. Why not have awards shows on TV, which made them famous? Lol- if you don't like it, sell your TV. Idiots.

lol- are you seriously that dense? Open up that little mind and think, maybe, just maybe he was prescribed drugs in two different countries whose doctors did not communicate with one another, and maybe, just maybe the drugs reacted badly... and there might be a slight chance that he was not a doctor and didn’t know, and of course didn’t have your sheer expertise on the subject...

By the way, it might be helpful for you to go to Dictionary.com (http://www.dictionary.com) and look up some of the elementary words that you have such difficulty understanding.

You calling me dense :killingme

There is this really cool thing doctors to a couple times when you go. When they screen you they make you fill out a questionnaire and one of the questions is "Are you presently taking any medications? Please list." then they typically say "Are you taking any medications?" then when the doctor is deciding what medications to write a prescription for to treat you they nearly always ask again "Are you presently taking any medications?"

Of course drug shoppers always say "Nah" so they can get more.

Why is it that when the trailer trash and subsidized housing folks die of overdoses it's :ohwell: they got what they deserved for doing drugs in the first place, but when it's someone from the entertainment industry it's a "life of an artist cut tragically short"?

That’s stereotypical. However, usually trash OD on illegal drugs and drugs that are not prescribed to them. And even if the actor or artist dies of illegal overdose it IS usually tragic because they had something to offer to millions of people- what does triler trash have to offer? Besides, its your tax money (welfare) that is probably buying the drugs they are using. Like I said before, stop watching TV, then you might have some basis for an argument. .

So, you're saying that it's ok for someone to OD on on prescription drugs even if they may or may not have been obtained by the most honest means? I cna't figure out why so many people STILL put Elvis on a pedestal and whine about his death... he friggin' OD'd and if you've ever seen Graceland you'll see that he was trailer trash writ large.


How do you know how much TV I watch?

My response may be stereotypical but not as stereotypical and hypocritical as yours.

What part of accidental OD do certain whiney people not quite understand?

But Pete, they were prescription drugs, prescribed by a doctor he couldn't possibly have abused them.

Maybe, just maybe he was using them for their intended purpose, and accidentally took a lethal amount. Seeing as how the medical examiner determined that was the case, I think I'm going with his story over yours.

Ya know what bothers me most about this thread...is that I thought weird was spelled wierd. :ohwell:

I think you're just trying to save face after your claim that Ledger "offed himself with an overdose of heroin " crashed and burned.

You were wrong on your version of his death, now it appears that you feel you have to somehow twist things so the two different scenarios are "the same". This way, you can use your manufactured illusion to falsely justify your error.

Get over yourself :lmao: I already admitted the heroin error. Ledger is just as dead, the substance he abused is of little consequence.

It is OK though you can rip the Heath poster from Tiger Beat and worship it all you want. You made/proved my point perfectly.

Ledger is dead. He died between silk sheets from a fatal combo of a multiple types of prescription drugs. The absence of a law suit against a doctor for malpractice means he took them in a manner, dosage and/or combination not directed by his physician / physicians and people are all a twitter and making excuses for him and idolizing him.

Have a nice day :lol:

#### that! I wouldn't know him if he walked up to me. Just because sooo many people don't have a life and have to be "entertained" constantly, doesn't make it a tragedy.

I wish the #### he had befriended Sean Penn, and given him a handful of skittles, too! Good ####ing riddance.:buddies:
