Howdy MoFos.
Well, last year we tried something a little different, and setup a special chat room exclusively for the Oscar telecast. It went wonderfully; dozens of MoFos stopped by and collectively posted over 6,500 messages over roughly 6 hours (IE: ta message every 3.3 seconds). Here's a rough transcript; sans color formatting, unfortunately:
MoFo Oscar Chat Transcription
So, as you've probably guessed, we'll be doing the same thing again this year.
This year's telecast of the 81st Annual Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, February 22nd. The chat room will open in the afternoon, several hours before the telecast. And don't worry, it'll be hard to miss: we'll be posting the link site-wide as soon as it's up, and sending out a newsletter the day before.
The chat room will be about the same as last year, and the background music playlist will be filled with many of the same iconic film scores we had last time. Now's the time to make any last-minute music requests. As I recall, after last year's chat Holden asked for Laura, and MattJohn asked for Blade Runner.
Oh, I'll be setting up an informal Oscar pool (probably with Yahoo), as well, so we can alternately brag/hide in shame as the night goes on. I'll start a thread for that as we get closer to the event.
Hope to see a lot of you on the big day!
