At this years Academy Awards, just before the announcement of the best original score winner, an orchestra played several themes from various movies, beginning with that of Star Wars.

My question is, what’s the theme that played just before the orchestra started playing the Star Wars theme? It’s sounds so familiar, and I believe it’s a theme you quite often heard on videotapes, back when dvds didn’t exist, but I can’t figure out what image came with the sound.

It’s from Bladerunner by Vangelis.

We’ve always looked forward to Academy Award night – it’s fun. However, this year, in particular, I fell like I could care less. I know how hard it is to be a successful working actor, and it is nice to honor quality in art – but to watch a bunch of people spend outrageous amounts of money on themselves and their parties, just is not so much fun this year. What do you think?

I agree. But I haven’t seen these idiots since 1997. For me "Oscar night" can go to the trashcan and meet the other "Oscar", Oscar the Grouch of "Sesame Street". At least he is honest.

An inspired motion-picture masterpiece, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL was nominated in 1998 for 7 Academy Awards® — winning 3 Oscars®, including one for Best Actor Roberto Benigni. In this extraordinary tale, Guido (Benigni) — a charming but bumbling waiter who’s gifted with a colorful imagination and an irresistible sense of humor — has won the heart of the woman he loves and created a beautiful life for his young family. But then, that life is threatened by World War II…and Guido must rely on those very same strengths to save his beloved wife and son from an unthinkable fate! Honored with an overwhelming level of critical acclaim, this truly exceptional, utterly unique achievement will lift your spirits and capture your heart!

I received an email containing this information that the Oscars could be watched live on an Xbox for those that have gold memberships. I was wondering how? The Oscars are tomorrow and I want to watch them live. I have an Xbox and I have a membership I was just wondering where I can watch it? Is there some sort of video app or do I have to find a specific thing to download or do I just wait till it’s time for the show to primere and then i pop up on the Dashboard? Any ideas and advice

you have to have prior internet service to do it
you have to have a provider like dish network,

I’m trying to identify a movie by a screenshot. There is an academy award (an Oscar) on a table in a room with an ornate bed.

What are some movies where a character has an academy award?

Just to be clear…I’m not looking for a movie where the actor has won an award for his/her part in the movie.

In "The Star", Bette Davis used one of her own Oscars. I know that she goes for a drive with the statue, pointing out celebrities’ homes. However, I’m not sure if she kept in her bedroom.

I’m not sure if an Oscar is part of Georgia’s shrine to her father in "The Bad and the Beautiful", but it’s a possibility. It’s been several years since I’ve seen this film.

For the 2010 Academy Awards, will it be available to watch online? Like the important part of it?
And what site do you think I would be able to watch online?

I would think they would be on the internet cause the academy awards is a pretty big deal.

Thank you

They will probably have segments on oscar.go.com and abc.go.com

The announcement of the nominees for the Academy Awards will be announced on TV early tomorrow morning. I plan to watch it live at 5:30am Pacific Time and I was wondering if anyone knew how long this announcement will last?

Thanks everyone!

No more than 5-8 minutes, as all Anne Hathaway and the Academy president will do is read the names of only the top categories.
