I just found out that Billy Crystal is returning to host the oscars this year
I am very happy about this.

I am fine, thanks for asking. Today I'll be playing some snooker after work and then drinking some rum and watching films.

Alt: Same as you. I find that married sellers have the best poppies so I'm holding out.

Billy Crystal is shit and a cunt.
He manages to be the only unfunny person in This is Spinal Tap - quite an achievemenr given his limited screen time.

I hate him, 'Bill Clay', and so should you.

I disagree with all that you say here

He makes a good Mike in Monsters Inc

He should present it every year, no-one else is as good
Then again, there's a campaign for the Muppets to host, that'd be fairly entertaining.

I'd vote for Jon Stewart.
I thought he was the only thing that has made the Oscars worth watching since I was about 13 and actually took them seriously.

Actually, I could have just said
"I'd vote for Jon Stewart" and it would prety much have summed up everything I believe in anyway.

Jon Stewart did a better job than David Letterman
and my five year old could do a better job than Franco and Hathaway last year.

Franco was obviously off his tits, or on some sort of dare
It was a bizarre choice though. I can only assume it was motivated entirely by "they're pretty"

It was almost to 'Fleetwood & Fox' levels of crapness
but at least it kept things interesting.

The logistics of the muppets doing it would be a fucking nightmare
The show is enough of a shambles every year as it is.

This is exactly why it's a brilliant idea
That, and the prospect of running commentary from Statler and Waldorf

If they can't make Statler and Waldorf work
they could always use Monty.

Given how well-received Ricky Gervais' last presenting job was over there
I doubt American networks are ready for Monty

Yeah, they could sit them next to Mickey 'shit, are you still alive?' Rooney

( Bill Clay a.k.a. Claudio, Fri 11 Nov 2011, 8:49, Reply)

I think Ricky Gervais should do it every year.
The Oscars are vulgar and for cunts, 'film' actors are wankers - Gervais is a prick - the perfect match. They deserve each other.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 11 Nov 2011, 8:57, Reply)

He's already unfunny and prickish at one awards ceremony
I'd rather be able to have a small laugh at one of them.

What kind of fucking retard watches the Oscars?

*waves arm about enthusiastically*
I've watched them when I can since about 1987. They are what they are and I'd probably agree with any criticism you might have of them but I still enjoy watching it.
