Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 1:01PM The Best Picture Profanity Reel
This is our last Oscar update before tonight's show.
(Just a reminder, we've got loads of Oscar coverage for you, including
interviews, predictions, and features about the best of the awards).

Someone spent a lot of time putting together the 2009 Best Picture
Profanity Reel, which is exactly what it sounds like: Showcasing the bad words in Frost/Nixon, Benjamin Button, The Reader, Slumdog Millionaire, and Milk. We take the language of
movies for granted - Scorsese's f-bombs, the c-word in
Atonement, of all things - but as we wrote in our Best Best
Actresses column, it was only about 40 years ago that Who's Afraid of
Virginia Woolf? couldn't get away with saying "screw."
You've come a long way, baby.
Check it out if you've got five minutes. Oh - there are some spoilers in these clips, so if you haven't seen all the movies, this might not be for you.
Oh, and don't forget, you've still got a couple hours to enter our Oscar contest for a chance to win tonight's Best Picture winner on DVD, plus other prizes.
