Title: My Sad, Sad Oscar Story
Post by: rtf on Tue 02/03/2004 00:57:05
I can't believe it.  Here is my story:

We just got a TiVo.
For those of you who don't know, a TiVo is a digital video recorder.  It lets you record stuff and fast forward through the comercials.  It also lets you pause live TV!  There's no risk!

Anyway, so I come up with this great idea.  I record the Oscars, get something to-go from the local food distribution facitlity, and come home and watch.  Perfect!

Everything was going good, but the best part was that there was no commercials!  Yay!

Uh-oh. Trouble brewing.  At 8:30, the oscars run late, going into the Barbara Walters extraveganza.
Of course, I don't know this, becasue I'm busy fast-forwarding through a Trail Rated Jeep 4x4.

Then comes 10:15, when our recorded oscars are almost done (unbeknownst to us)...

You guessed it.  I will give you the exact wording as I remember it:

"...and for the best performance by an actress in a  movie, the oscar goes-"
ME:  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

That's right.  I diddn't record the Barbara Walters show after so I missed everything after Best Editing!

That really sucks.

So could someone tell me all the stuff I missed?

There's a thread already about this:

http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=11256

Why not post there instead of starting a new thread?

And if you want to find out what happened, why not check out imdb or oscarwatch?

They'd be a more reliable source of oscar info than us IMHO.

Besides, you weren't missing much anyway.

my dad went to high school with sean penn,  and my dad won the "Actor of the Year" award, and Shawwny diddn't.

Whenever I see a trailor with Sean Penn in it, I always say "It could have been you, it could have been you..."
