OSKAHS 2016

[Fievel]

Is anyone excited???

Also, did you know that the Oscars are tonight?

[Ribbons]

It snuck up on me a little this year. I don't think I realized until yesterday that the Oscars were this weekend. But now I'm totally ready to watch.

My bold prediction: a white guy will win Best Actor.

[TheBaxter]

i watched on DVR delay to skip commercials and any boring montages. then i fell asleep about an hour in. so some of this will be a review of the show and the rest may be a review of some crazy dreamed version of the show i had after falling asleep.

- this was the funniest and most entertaining oscars i can remember. if not nominating any black actors makes for such a funny show, they should not nominate any black actors every year
- tracy morgan deserves an emmy for his oscar performance
- so the revenant won best actor, best director and best cinematography, but it didn't win best picture. i guess the screenplay really sucked.
- i laughed when donald trump pulled a kanye during inarritu's best director acceptance speech, saying "i'ma let you finish, but Ben Stiller made one of the best films of all time: Zoolander 2!" and then gave a 30-minute speech about how mexican directors are all a bunch of rapists stealing american jobs
- mad max won a bazillion oscars, but not best picture. i guess the screenplay, acting, cinematography, and directing really sucked.
- i've seen Rocky, which means when Stallone lost the best supporting actor oscar, he really won after all, right?
- spotlight won best picture, despite only winning one other major category. that must have been the greatest screenplay of all time.
- i loved the ending, when all the protesters stormed into the theater and took various celebrities hostage. it was particularly awesome watching jada pinkett smith decapitate matt damon on live TV. thank zod for harrison ford and unikitty, though, swooping in at the last minute to save the day. things were getting a bit out of hand, and when shia labuff showed up and started rapping about #OscarLivesMatter, i thought things might end badly for everyone. but han shot first (though a little late, or we could have avoided that whole kingdom of the crystal skull situation), unikitty impaled a few documentary filmmakers, and order was restored.

Wait a minute! Are you telling me I missed the post-credits scene?

Bollocks!

Every year I'm thankful that I work on Sundays and don't have to bother watching this shit. I checked my phone throughout the night. I must say this was one of the lamest years yet. Congratulations to Mark Rylance for his moment in the sun before shuffling off to Oscar Obscurity.

I'm glad Ennio won. Spotlight nabbing Best Picture was a major "Huh?" moment. I give it another twenty minutes before we all forget the film exists.

[caruso_stalker217]

My wife and I rewatched the real best film of 2015 last night, TANGERINE. Shit's fire, fam.

[so sorry]

I know I'm late to the party with this one, but the middle finger is all sorts of awesome.

[TheBaxter]

well, lady gaga was there, so...

[Fievel]

One of my favorite moments from the Oscars was when the Droids came out on stage. But that wasn't my favorite part. After they came out, the camera showed the little boy from The Room standing up with a look of joy/awe/wonder on his face that was absolutely priceless.

That.....and Rock's monologue.

[Maui]

I was very pleased to see Mad Max take all those awards. Every time they cut to Miller, I got a bit giddy! I was pissed off at how they didn't clap for the costume design winner for Mad Max. She was cool in her leathers. Stupid uptight audience.
I will say I was very underwhelmed with the best supporting actor category this year. Rylance won but he wasn't that great, neither was Sly. They all were just so so.
Very pleased to see Vikander win for The Danish Girl. She is such a brilliant actress.

Chris Rock did a great job of making everyone feel very uncomfortable in an amusing way.

If she sold those bedazzled Immortan Joe jackets on Etsy or something I'd be all over that shit

i saw donald trump tweeted something about meryl streep's golden globes last night. that guy really needs to stop fixating on women's lady parts so much.

I tried to like what I saw of La La Land so far, but with my despisement of the 'aren't they oh so beautiful and would never fancy anyone watching them' couple of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone's pairing for the THIRD time, I kinda feel that this film winning the Best Film Blah Blah Everything Else Oscars would be like Trump winning the presidency.

Ghostbusters 2016 got robbed yo!

Shin Godzilla Nominated for 11 Japanese Academy Awards, Including Best Picture

[Ribbons]

Bahaha

[TheBaxter]

Razzie nominations are out

man, talk about a lazy list. of course BvsS is gonna be on there. but putting affleck and cavill as worst actors just because they toplined that film? so lazy.
there was plenty wrong with BvsS but the performances were the least of that film's problems. it's like they just looked at their list of worst films and picked whatever actors were top billed for those films without actually bothering to consider their actual performances. the rest of their nominations seem just as lazy and obvious.

Any list that has Gods of Egypt and Zoolander 2 on a list of worst-anything is A OK in my book.

Oscar Nominations are in

Deadpool got robbed.

Are people really going to get bent out of shape over a deadpool "snub"? What category(ies) do you think it deserved a nomination for?

well, i haven't seen any of the 10 films that were nominated, so obviously deadpool was better than those.

[Ribbons]

So whose house are we going to watch this at?

[Fried Gold]

So I guess that means Mel Gibson is off the blacklist then.

[Ribbons]

It actually seems like they went out of their way to let him know that they forgive him

[TheBaxter]

i mean, it's the same Academy that gave oscars to Roman Polanski and Woody Allen, so, you know... not exactly the best arbiters of moral purity.

well, they waited for gibson to shave his beard off before nominating him, so obviously they're prejudiced against beards.

Hollywood knows how to do things with subtlety.

So, this year, ALL the nominees will either be black or wearing blackface.

Pepe the Frog will be the host.
Natalie Portman will go on a twitter meltdown after losing to Meryl Streep, and claim that the only reason she won was because millions of illegal immigrants posing as Academy members cast fraudulent votes for her.

"totally innocent" and "not a murderer" are not the same thing. but glad to see you you're buying into the Trumpian idea of absolutes these days. must be a good feeling for you.

still, i'll give you this: you might've been right about peyton manning

i think i take just as much leeway with Ray as you do with Mel


and SEE?!?!?!?! i told you so, Payton is really a douche

[TheBaxter]

nah, i give Mel a lot more leeway than you give Ray. i just watched Road Warrior a few nights ago. when was the last time you watched a Ravens game?

Scorsese, Stone, Spielberg Pushed Aside as Oscar Makes Way for New Generation.

I have an interesting idea on how those "old generation" directors can get back in the game: make better movies than the "new generation" directors.

[Cpt Kirks 2pay]

I already rubbished that THR article on Facebook. Fuxake just 'cos these directors don't make a movie suitable to get them a nomination for a few years (Wolf of Wall Street - Best Director nomination 2014, Bridge of Spies - Best Film 2016!), that dumb site is already jumping to conclusion and desperate thesis's. It's so hard to get an Oscar nomination anyway, how often do you think directors need to keep getting those noms to deem them 'accepted' by the Academy??

[Fried Gold]

Spielberg often makes movies that don't tend to fit into that category of "released in three cinemas in Los Angeles in the last week of December" that gets them an Oscar nomination.

He's about to make a film about an 18th century pope with Mark Rylance, so I would wager that it'll be Oscar worthy.

Exactly...that article was written just because the author needed to write something.
