Stewart quotes Day-Lewis: "Muttley! DOOO Something!"

Heather A. Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 11:06 AM EST

No verbal milkshake jokes, just come out drinking a milkshake after a commercial break...or steal one from someone in the audience.

Definitely have Colbert - co-host? please? or is that just in my dreams... And have Steve Carell in the joint ready to accept any award nobody's there for, so they can "go ahead and give this to our good friend Steve Carell".

You know, I've not even seen the film yet, and I'm already sick of the milkshake references. Love the Peter Tork wig though! A lot too dark for my favorite Monkee, but apt. I like the suggestion from one poster--a Sweeney Todd/No Country pairing.

Jakeem, I love the idea of Will doing that! Oh, that would be priceless. XD

Not too many Writer Strike jokes, a few is fine ... but DO bring in Stephen, plz!

stony Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 01:21 AM EST

He should bust out someone for texting on their crackberry during the show.

Matt Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 11:45 PM EST

Some blogger came up with an Oscar Night Drinking Game: http://opinionationpage.blogspot.com/

Jakeem Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 10:49 PM EST

DON'T do any Anton Chigurh jokes. Save that for Will Ferrell, who could walk onstage as a presenter wearing Chigurh's hairstyle from "No Country for Old Men." Then he could slap a coin on the table and dare his co-presenter to call it for the rights to open the envelope.

"Don't sing?" What kind of crazy advice is that? Sing! Tap dance! Do your best Rob Lowe dancing with Snow White momemnts! Fill it with WTF moments galore! Tell everyone you just whipped it together in a few weeks.

Rob Grizzly Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 08:00 PM EST

Opening line: "How about them Golden Globes, eh?"

And then John proceded to make as many writer's strikes jokes as possible in a 3 hour show...

Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 08:00 PM EST

how about the only Jack Nicholson joke be that he'll pay the cameramen 5 bucks each to not pan to Jack the entire night.

jaime Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 07:50 PM EST

Talk about the big summer movies the whole night!!!!

THE BLOCKBUSTERS!!!!

DanOregon Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 06:16 PM EST

How about a tribute to the first person to refuse an Academy Award, a writer, because of a writer's strike decades ago.

Martha Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 06:15 PM EST

I second Stephanie T's comments...Stewart and Colbert together is awesome, but the Stewart-Colbert-O'Brien trifecta would, like, totally rock!

donner Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 06:03 PM EST

as long as Jon is funny and doesn't come out in 15 different costumes (Whoopi I'm looking at you), then I'll be happy...I don't expect much from the Oscars, the pre-show interviews are lame, the camera is oft times panning to the wrong actor, the voice over announcer is excited over trivial nonsense, just be GOOD and we know you can be, and the show will take care of itself...Lets hope some decent winners will make the evening enjoyable and we aren't stuck w/ a bunch of 'huh, what?' moments...god help us all...

Tracy Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 04:08 PM EST

Do comment on the recent cancellation of another NBC show - In the Loop with iVillage.

Brian Sterricker Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 03:17 PM EST

Do call Javier Bardem "friend-o."
Do work in the line "I drink your milkshake."

AA Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 02:47 PM EST

Fred from Scooby Doo--not bad!! Regardless, I am all for whatever they have to do to get Colbert to appear (Godless Sodomites indeed).

Stephanie T. Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 02:07 PM EST

AA: Javier's hair looked more like Fred from Scooby-Doo.

Say that Daniel Day Lewis from There Will Be Blood was Javier's barber, hence Lewis'es Dick Dasterdley mustache.

O'Brien and Colbert make apperances.

GingerCat Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 01:55 PM EST

I agree with Tony--we need more Colbert attack ads.
Also, Jon needs to make some shout-outs to George Clooney. His reaction shots are way better than Jack Nicholson's. Why would Jack Nicholson need to be there this year anyway?

Stephanie Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 01:55 PM EST

Definitely need Colbert-together they are so freakin' awesome!

Susan Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 01:35 PM EST

At 8:30 pm show the Best Picture award being given. Then a little sign that says "5 Hours Earlier" and proceed with the show as usual.

TheSickness Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 01:31 PM EST

Ignore all suggestions except bringing in more Colbert. MORE COLBERT!

rebnej Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 01:28 PM EST

Whatever you do, don't make fun of Jude Law, or Sean Penn will come after you. Tim Robbins, however, is fair game.

Eric Friedmann Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 01:25 PM EST

DON'T SHOW UP!!!

Maybe they'll cancel the stupid show!

AA Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 01:23 PM EST

Hey Ames, to go with Jon wearing the Daniel Plainview mustache, maybe Stephen could wear the Javier Bardem/Dorothy Hamill hair?

Ames Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 01:15 PM EST

Comparisons to Daniel Plainview and Bush or Cheney may be a way to mix the movies with politics ("I am an oilman!"). And if Stewart would wear a Daniel Plainview mustache that would be great.

Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 01:02 PM EST

Def need Colbert- him coming out and saying "Good evening, godless sodomites." still makes me laugh when I think about it.

Rebecca Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 12:36 PM EST

I am one hundred percent behind the idea of Stephen Colbert making an appearance at some point. I love John and Stephen separately but I love them even more when they work together. ("Our powers combined...")

Tony Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 12:25 PM EST

He needs to have Stephen Colbert narrate more of those attack ads between nominees again.

Catherine Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 12:22 PM EST

Make fun of everybody in the first few rows. Especially Tom Cruise. Boy, that's a payload right there.

GOB Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 12:02 PM EST

How about tying together Sweeney Todd's barber skills and Javier Bardem's hairstyle?

Karen Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 12:00 PM EST

Do gush over the little-song-that-could - "Falling Slowly" from the movie Once that's nominated for best song.

T-Rex Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 11:55 AM EST

Amy winehouse jokes. Lots of them. Like the way Sarah Silverman destroyed Paris Hilton at the MTV movie awards. Not sure what Amy Winehouse has to do with Oscars, but I didn't know what Paris had to do with MTV and movie awards either.

Why oh why Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 11:54 AM EST

Stewart never talks about Britney Spears or Paris Hilton anyway.

Kathleen Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 11:23 AM EST

I don't know if it's been around long enough to be stale, but there definitely needs to be a milkshake comment.

Elsa Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 11:21 AM EST

Seriously, leave the politics and celebrity trash out of it

Snarf Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 11:20 AM EST

Don't make cracks at Scientologists those jokes will bomb more than "Lions for Lambs" did at the box office. BAM! You can use it John but I want credit.
