Dedicated Glen Hansard Oscar Thread. (1 Viewer)

[Gambra]

I will give Hansard my time until the Hot Press feature next week where he'll be insufferable. Then it'll be back to service as normal.

I feel completely ambivilant about the whole thing

I just thought I'd share that seeing as everyone and it's gran are cueing up to say happy/upset they are about it

....I do own a copy of spiderland tho!
does that get me back in?

only if it's on vinyl and bought before they split up.

 

[Mitchum]

You're terribly irritating, whoever you are.

Shouldn't you be wishing a violent death on a complete stranger?

 

[flashback]

also, has that *ever* happened before, a winner being brought back out to finish a speech?? wonder if jon stewart insisted on it or what.

yeah, that was the touch, when I saw her trying to speak there, and the mike had been cut I was all and then she came back out, and Jon was being all sound and I was all :heart:

Sound sound sound.

 

[Franco]

I had tickets for this, but was too wrecked to go into town.

Kinda wish i'd gone now.

 

[MrT]

I've seen a few interviews with him and he seems pretty sound.
Song is well cheesey..fair play though.

 

[Pantone247]

it's a fairly bland song but, totally beige acoustic nothingness

Damien Rice must be bulling

 

[bren_at_xfm]

Magic!! fair play to 'em...

Even got into the gutterpress... Under current circumstances I'm
sure Hansard wont take offence to be given the lowly title of
'Frames Guitarist'. Then again when was the last time NME was
anyway accurate?

ah thumped is great sometimes. so few pricks spitting the bile - perhaps we are all good natured souls deep down (cue ...?)...

fair play to them - an amazing achievement and good speeches too.

Hansard is gonna be even more insufferable now. Good job I watch very little Irish telly, listen to even less radio and stopped buying irish newspapers yonks ago. Still, fair play to him.

Shit song, shit film.

I don't think Glen Hansard is insufferable. The few times I've read an interview with him he seems like a real nice fella. Don't you like nice people, Mitchum?

 

[Vinnie]

Why would one of the most bitter places on earth suddenly start picking on somebody for being negative about something that is absolutely fair game for criticism? You're a bunch of weirdoes.

I think what Vinnie means here is "well done to Glen, fair play and sure top of the morning to him, not that I'd ever buy a frames album you see but sure isn't it a grand thing altogether and a great day for the Irish"

I hope Glen gives me some rep next time he's on thumped

I find him mawkish at best. Yer wan Marketa is a friend of my missus btw so we sat up last night with an ah, vested interest. When I saw Honest Glen talking about how this one is for 'the mammy' on the red carpet preview I winced. Still, he's no Johnny Logan, I s'pose. 'Thank you Ireland'.

Frankly, this thread is fucked. It's like opposite land. Where's the vitriol?

 

[whathappen?]

whats with this begrudgery . I doubt there is a single musician here on thumped would refuse an oscar nomination never mind the actual award. sour grapes .

 

[Pantone247]

if anything whathappening? it's the lack of begrudgery I find worrying... if Paddy Casey won an oscar would that make him any less a short hobbitesque wailing pain in the rear?

 

[whathappen?]

paddy cacey is different...theres just something ....something ....oily about him ..*shudder*

I would refuse. But I suppose I'd have to write a song first.

Was there anyone in the crowd with a Tricolour?

y'know he hasn't washed his hair in 8 years, claiming it's the greasy sebaceous oils, that coat each damply matted curl, that act as an ariel for the everyday inspirations that pepper his dire monotonus dirges
