What Wine Are You All Cracking Open for the Oscars?

It took 2 hours to discover that? Must have taken most of the bottle.

No, only about half. It's a big bottle. I've moved on to whoever's bought the old Bonny Doon franchise's Big House White. Goes good with fish & chips.

I'm putting it on my queue right now. Wait, is it queueable? It looked very interesting from the little clip they showed before I heard one too many acceptance speeches and had to turn the Oscars show off.

I like Danny Boyle's movies, but haven't see the latest yet.
 
Hey, my brother is directing an episode of Brothers and Sisters! It airs on the Ides of March, everybody watch!

Hey, now it seems like some Slumdog momentum!
 
And it's Slumdog FTW! If only I had another bottle of Indian Merlot to celebrate with. But what's up with the industry blowjobs for the Best Actress/Actor nominations? Just read the friggin' names and roles, ferchrissakes.

So, anybody else think it was a bit of a snooze? Where were all the inside jokes? Also, anybody notice that from Queen Latifah's singing I'll be Seeing You, the sound was just ever so slightly out of sync with the picture? I also thought that segment with departed stars was poorly done. You couldn't see or read a number of who the stars were and they kept trying to focus on Queen Latifah singing, which really wasn't the point of that segment.

Pretty predictable winners. Glad Slumdog raked in the awards, but was disappointed that Mickey Rourke didn't win for the Wrestler. Sean Penn said it best, Hollywood likes commies and gays.

Nice speech by Penelope Cruz, btw and it was nice to see Kate win.

Cork up the shiraz and send it over - Brothers and Sisters is on the DVR list, we'll chug while watching!

The Oscars are always a snooze.

Actually, this shiraz kind of sucks.

Hmmm. These Oscars got anything to do with Bill Mayer?
 
Awesome night, I can't remember crying quite so much during an Oscar show. All those beaming Slumdog kids, Winslet barely controlling herself, Penn's shoutout to the Prop 8 haters, just overwhelming. Jackman wasn't inspired, but was at least serviceable.

Not a good choice for host, though they certainly diminished the role of host this year.

Yeah, I liked when Will Smith said something to the effect of, "Yeah, I'm still out here. I think Jackman is backstage taking a nap."
 
I thought I was watching the Tony awards!
The Baz Luhrmann dance/medley was ahem... memorable

An Argentine malbec (I have yet to distinguish one from another) was the drink.
 
Instead of watching the Oscars, which I haven't done in years (I usually don't have a rooting interest, last year was an exception) I watched Vicky, Christina, Barcelona.

I mean, it was OK. A nice little film, but hardly wonderful and Penelope Cruz was fine I guess. But outstanding?

Critter shiraz worthy for sure.

Isn't that what the fuzzy animals on the label are for? "I'll have two llamas and a pangolin, please" I can't tell 'em apart, either.

I thought that movie's greatest failing was that Javier Bardem's character was so wan. Enough to make everyone else's actions seem mechanical and unconvincing.
