Those were some of the things that left me baffled about the Oscar intro. It was at the intellectual level of fart jokes.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Based on my highly-un-scientific sample Crystal's hosting played well to Middle America, particularly the over-50 crowd.

Didn't Billy Crystal used to play Sammy Davis Jr on SNL? Not that it makes last night any less offensive, in any case--I just seem to remember it.
Yeah, he played Sammy and Joe Piscipo played Frank Sinatra. I was trying to remember what his make-up was like then.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Maybe Fey and Poehler can host next year.
I thought Jolie looked hot, but I'm in the minority, there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But why with the leg, even on stage? Even in pictures with Brad?? It's so crazy, I feel like she must have been doing it as a joke, after the dress rep told her one too many times to emphasize the split.

How much of the Oscar's audience would even know who Sammy Davis Jr. is? Heck, I only know he is/was an entertainer of some sort. I have no idea what he actually did. Maybe the Oscar's viewership skews older though.
…
But... SAMMY DAVIS JR! How do you NOT know who he is if you are over 30 and lived in the US for most of your life?

Me too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I thought she was hamming it up.

I also hate the crap about how thin she is just as much as I would cringe over someone ragging on Melissa McCarthy's body. I don't think Jolie is about to be hospitalized for malnutrition any time soon.

Ann, that's a ferret.

He also sang "The Candy Man" and "I've Gotta Be Me."
