Like, TODAY.

Had an Oscar at my house last night. Some people were feeling queasy about not boycotting. I told them -- just wait. Chris Rock is going to bring it.

Let me put it this way: If I'd ever get an Oscar (which can't happen ever), I'd use my speech-time not to thank anyone. I'd tell everybody how shitty my Ex-Internetprovider is. All I have for this company is pure, white-hot-glowing hatred. I hate them like Nazis hated Jews.
I have a different provider now. Slower but good.

I had a large bichir and oscar in a tank together. Lived for about 6 months fine -- I'd read that bichirs may try to eat anything that can fit in their mouth, but the oscar was roughly the same size differential to the bichir as these two fish were to each other, so I thought it'd be fine.

Came back from work one day and found the oscar in the bichir's mouth, with about the back half still free. Both dead -- I assume the bichir died from internal damage from getting distended roughly like in the video. So, I'd wager that catfish may very well have met the same fate.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Give that dog an Oscar.

I think she's really over-rated. She's certainly pretty, but I really don't think she's got much in the way of acting chops. And yes, I've seen Monster. That oscar should have gone to the make up team.

Such a talent. To date, the only person to win an Oscar whose parents had both also won Oscars!

So i found where the backups are but when i click to view it, it opens the sifted video(not the backup) and the options is to replace current video with backup. No way of viewing backup first.

For those of us who reside in The US you can enjoy this high quality link to the video.
and throw it out there for a *backup=[...snipped...]

Very poignant

This is also why the OSCARS IS BULLSHIT

the displaying in this manner isn't shocking, and isn't the full picture... actual data analysis would require you to show of the losers each year, what the diversity looks like... to prove any bias you'd then have to go and show that a white person was picked over someone who CLEARLY should have won (thing about opinions is; everyone has one)...

THEN to take it a step further... you'd have to look at all the movies/actors/directors that weren't nominated... which suddenly increases involves even MORE opinion

THEN of the actually qualified movies/actors/directors you've had to compare the ratio of diversity between those and the level of diversity of movies/actors/directs that aren't qualified to be nominated

etc, etc, etc...

there's alot more to diversity in the oscars than just whom they pick in the end; its the projects/roles available, the movies that get greenlit and why, its the original source materials

but to say there should be more diverse winners is not really conclusively proven by who's won in the past...

i'm sure everyone would feel better about racism if next year everyone that won was of a minority... independant of whether or not they were the best in their category... but equality is about equality; not tilting the scales in the opposite direction

and it's easier to point the finger at the Oscars, because its public, its on the forefront, and there's money involved... whereas going after the more likely causes at the writing/production/casting level... is less glamorous and prone to actually involving some humanity

I'm sure you would find, on that personal level, prejudices involved... but in regards to finger pointing like this video... I'm sure alot of fingers would be pointed at instances that were completely innocent...

but that involves getting personal... and understanding people... and who wants to do that? when you can point to little balls forming an oscar and say "LOOK HOW FEW THERE ARE!"

If you want Diversity among winners at the Oscars then have Oscar winning diverse actors/ directors/ writers.
