[stuartcricket1]

Brits to rule yet again !

[zootmonster]

I hope Mark Wahlberg wins best supporting actor, if not for that, for the hair alone in that film!

[Silent Bob]

Nah, he should get a Raspberry award for that hair cut.

[Guy Scissorhands]

This Sunday. Anyone know what channel it's on. Let me guess a Sky movie channel?

[michael blunty]

Sky Movies

I wouldn't bother though...the oscars aren't ever a fair representation of quality in any way

[Scott_F]

I heard a report on the radio this morning saying that the ceremony is expected to break the 4 1/2 hour mark

[tracey_sws]

I used to stay up all night on a Sunday to watch the Oscars, until bloody Sky nicked the coverage! :x
