Melissa Leo while accepting the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "The Fighter".
FELIX!!!

I'm pretty sure that's not the F-Word she used. :)
BTW: Anyone else catch Mitch Daniels suggesting Sunday that we pull the plug on Grandma?

"Mugsy's Rap Sheet": Recording history for those who seek to rewrite it.
Glad she won but very disappointed in her choice of words.
It's just a night for people in the film industry to throw humility to the winds..
How about an oscars night for the best teachers in the country?
She said 'f*ck'- im sure the Christians are having a meltdown today..
People get upset by a slip of the F word, but not the fascist comments of Glenn beck??
Brav-oh
clap.
clap.
clap.

for his wonderful performance pitting the state employees vs. the taxpayers. Great job Scott. You'll soon have brothers and sisters at each others throats.
No worse than this performance:

This was the gal that directly self-promoted herself in the trades for the award. She got a lot of heat for that. She's probably gloating today but, really, award shows are so irrelevant (and boring!) in the big scheme of things.
she bought two ads which were simply pix of her looking glamorous, a la the red carpet (which is totally opposite the character she played in the fighter) w/ the word "consider."
since the studio did nothing to promote her chances, i say more power to her. she's a fine actor whose work i have loved since homicide:life on the street. good for her.
she makes it look so f***ng easy.
when you can just do it yourself? Besides, it's not like she was going overboard.
that isn't Christine Romans?
who gives a damn?
Yea moving making people. I'm glad you won.
...with a film degree has always watched the Oscars, but this year he said they were "terrible and exhausting" and that the "musical guests were appalling, really ... I wish I hadn't wasted my time."
And he's a fan! I quit watching them years ago because they're so fake and really don't honor quality or creativity.
It was the writers and hosts- well, James Franco (who I like), anyway- who were horrible. They need hosts who can deliver a joke off the cuff, comedians, not comic actors.
The show was short compared to those in the recent past. It was over before midnight in the Eastern Time Zone. It just seemed long.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.

I prefer to just glance at the results the next day. I saw that Natalie Portman won for Black Swan, which was nice for her (I heard it's a pretty intense movie). She redeemed herself for her wooden performances in the Star Wars prequels (and reminded us of how good she was way back in Leon: The Professional), though I doubt that any actress could have overcome George Lucas' terrible writing...
"Whatever your particular problem is, I promise you, the Republicans are not the least bit interested in solving it. They are interested in two things, and two things only: making you afraid of it, and telling you who's to blame for it."
Star Wars is an opera told in the serial comic style. It's more Flash Gordon than 2001. It was never meant to be Oscar material.

The first of the series was nominated for best picture. It was the prequels that sucked. Those were convoluted commercials for all of the toys Lucas was trying to sell. If you haven't seen this, check it out.
Theoretically, every film produced should have the best picture award in mind. No one should go in thinking, "Yeah, I'm trying to make a mediocre film."
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
And I know exactly what Star Wars was supposed to be, thank you very much. But that doesn't excuse the prequels for being badly written and poorly acted, even by the standards of space opera. The writing we can blame on George Lucas. The acting we can't.
Hayden Christensen was handed the role of a lifetime, but instead of a conflicted youth corrupted to evil, he came across as a whiny, emo brat (especially in Attack of the Clones). Natalie Portman showed all the range of a block of wood, which is particularly galling considering we know she's better than that (ex: Leon: The Professional and Black Swan). Ian McDiarmid's menacing gravitas as the Emperor in Return of the Jedi was completely absent in the prequels. About the only two actors who came across reasonably well were Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson, and Neeson's character was killed in the first movie. Everyone else was eminently forgettable.
So kindly don't sit there and lecture me on what Star Wars is and is not supposed to be. I know what it's supposed to be. I also know bad acting and writing when I see it. Portman's Oscar win shows that she's got the chops, but wasn't able (or allowed) to show them in the prequels. That's a fact that can't be brushed away with a "it's just this" excuse.
"Whatever your particular problem is, I promise you, the Republicans are not the least bit interested in solving it. They are interested in two things, and two things only: making you afraid of it, and telling you who's to blame for it."
Lecture?
Chill out man. Maybe it's medication time.

Brits Triumph at X-rated Oscars
"The King's Speech" and Colin Firth were the big winners on an eventful Oscar night, in which Melissa Leo made history by swearing on air. http://www.newslook.com/videos/294048-brits-t...
Melissa Leo showed absolutely NO Class. Bad enough that she campaigned for her own Oscar, but to get up there and take on us all on a journey of self-centered, rude, and classless loony-speak was too much.
Looks like the Oscars now reflect how shitty our social manners have become.

unless use of the word 'shitty' is the new classy.
me-oww!
Beat me to it!

But you should've uploaded the clip from the Inside Job director's acceptance speech.
FUCKIN' EH!!!
What is with James Franco? Possibly the most wooden host of the Academy Awards I've ever seen. There was no way that Hathaway was going to save him. She wasn't great either.
