Oscar Swag Bag Revealed!

phobia-relief therapy session

come again ?

Yeah that's weird. I think the things I'm afraid of are completely rational and healthy. Like if I woke up to a cockroach on my face I would probably kill myself and I don't want to live in a world where I would be okay with a cockroach on my face.

omg once i was going to sleep and had this feeling of something running across my face and then i flipped out, ran to the wall to turn the light on, and searched my sheets. kind of shook my sheets and then a cockroach ran out from them and ran under my bed. i was at my parents house at the time and had boxes under the bed so i couldnt find the cockroach and just had to settle for spraying half a bottle of insect repellant under there. ive also had a time where i had a cockroach run across my bed while i was sitting up reading something and i instinctively tried to grab it and squish it (idk why) and some of the bodily juice from the cockroach squirted out and hit me in the face. it was traumatic

IDK I feel like unless an insect is poisonous bug phobias are definitely irrational. Most people just don't have a bad enough one or come into contact with it enough to warrant doing anything.

I found a mice in my bed this morning and while I flipped out and didn't go in my room for several hours, I still find mice extremely cute? but also fucking gross

I woke up with an ant in my ear and am still shocked/grossed out.

Yeah mte

i have trypophobia I’ll take it.

it's an odd choice to include it in a swag bag, but i don't think the existence of phobia-relief therapy is weird?

plastic surgery coupons? Like, I don't need anything done but 20% off is 20% off!

I could use a Haiwaiian vacation 😍

I've never been interested in Hawaii really but lately I did a lot of random research on it and I actually really want to go.

I'm just always turned off by "obvious" vacation spots like Hawaii or Costa Rica. I want to go where not everyone else I know has been.

Same! Give me a free trip the Maldives or Seychelles, Academy!

I'm the same way, only because I hate crowded places. Though I'll certainly travel anywhere, I just prefer less crowded places.

Hawaii is an entire state with multiple islands. There’s tons to do outside of regular Oahu.

hawaii is really amazing if you stay away from oahu. i love maui and the really small secluded islands. i live in LA so it's a nice spot for a quick getaway to get away from city life stress. the hikes and waterfalls are everything.

i just got back from raja ampat islands and it's the most beautiful unbelievable mesmerizing place i've ever seen. it's like a dream. i felt like i was living in a perfect dream. we stayed on these amazing bungalows on the crystal clear water. snorkeling and diving in the coral reefs. disconnecting and enjoying true serenity.

I would recommend Puerto Rico and taking a ferry to Culebra island for one of the most beautiful beaches ever but because of obvious reasons it might not be a good idea at the current moment :(

Maui for Whale watching is a dream!!

...four vacations. oh ok.

I read about it this year being more organic and environmentally friendly but

Oscar streaming tips? I don't want to pay for Hulu Live of Playstation Vue. Haven't figured out what to do

Seconding this, but for the red carpet. I have E! but I don't want to watch it this year, unless they ditch Seacrest at the last minute. I don't even know who else covers it, I've always watched E!

the trades just announced that e!'s gonna do a 30 second delay on their secreast telecast so they can cut/avoid any awkward shit, those assholes

ABC is doing one but it starts in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Yeah but then also actresses might be like “so what the fuck Ryan Seacrest” and ask him about it so I’m torn

It's on a break right now, but People/EW are doing a livestream that's free to watch. I'm on that for now and I'll switch to ABC once they start broadcast coverage.

Does Hulu live have a free trial?

idk if youtubetv has the right channels but if it does they have a 30 day free trial.

here's an E red carpet stream, not sure if they're airing the show too http://www.livenewschat.eu/the-oscars-live-stream/

different red carpet stream that hasn't started yet http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pDt2TwW3PKr

my friend sent me this, ~~it's supposed to be abc's coverage of the show and maybe red carpet? idk you can check it in like an hour~~ nvm some red carpet coverage going on right now http://gomostream.com/channel/46476

youtube tv has a 7 day free trial and you can cancel anytime. They also let you know what channels you'll have based on your area so you can make sure that you're getting ABC to watch this.

I hate rich people

I feel so poor rn lmao

every year i watch the oscars and every year i get annoyed at the opulence and self aggrandizement and yet i keep watching??

idk i guess i just like the comradery of Big TV Events?

That's why I still watch. I like the feeling of everyone watching something together.

flawedinsomniac

lol same here

yea i just don't think i'm gonna watch this year tbh

i'll just check red carpet fashion awards for the dresses later

is the phobia relief therapy session a themed gift in honor of get out?

So I tweeted out my oscar predictions a couple hours ago and I get a reply from some rando "how is three billboards racist? you prob didn't even watch the movie" I have, and then replies to me again "Get Out isn't even an Oscar movie" so I replied to the person, did I trigger you boo boo? and they deleted their replies haha like wtf.

That movie had so many slurs in it... like, that fucker nearly beating a black man to death, arresting a black woman out of revenge and saying the n-word left any room for discussion?? What about when he nearly murdered the guy he previously called the f-word? Or called the Hispanic dude a b**ner?

No legit, when I saw that reply I was like... hmmmm should I go off on this dude or just troll them back?

lmao

i mean the vacations are great but i feel like they could just pay for those themselves no problem? i guess free is free tho. And the other stuff is just...odd

I know, they could give them to me.

isn't this for ALL nominees, though, not just the actors (who in theory are the only rich ones here, along with directors and producers)? it's definitely extravagant to the average sound mixer or short-form documentary filmmaker
