Oh, you mean Val? Val who has never really had a challenging partner. He has always had a ringer or someone with some dance skills. Since this is supposed to be "his season" and "his time", they let him get away with that non-Foxtrot. Len basically declaring that it's Val's turn was just rude and disrespectful. Everybody else should just stay home because only Val matters. If this entire season is going to be about finally getting Val the win, then I'm out. I have no reason to watch the nonsense and how they will twist and turn themselves to get that boy the win. And he will be getting the gold mirror ball. That would probably make him way more insufferable than his brother.

I see they're still trying to make Rosalie happen. She's such a useless character. Look at everybody trying to come for Michael since he's the Big Bad and all. Please. Morgan and Kiki plotting to take him down is just laughable. There isn't a brain cell between either one of them.

You can believe what you want to believe. If you're talking about Redmayne, did you see how he was acting after he won? I'm surprised he didn't leave his wife for the Oscar.

If it means another Oscar, I'm sure he'd try. But I believe she is in PR. So, it was probably her idea to get married. Yeah, it was a little late for him since by that point it was a two man race. After seeing the video, who says that was his speech? That could've been a tissue or something. If it was his speech, so what? Most of those people have speeches prepared just in case. And after seeing Birdman take Screenplay and Director, he probably thought the tide had turned and there was a chance that he could win.

Yes. I'm sure it got nasty right away when Derek was announced. And with Nastia? I'm shocked all hell didn't break loose. But because of this news, I'm going to have to check out the season now, see all the Derek that I can because he is going to kill himself, and avoid the boards because it is not going to be pretty. Yes. Totally agree.

Yes. Getting married was part of his campaign. Look, as much as it should be about the performance, it's not. It's about the campaign and that boy hustled his way to that Oscar. And he's going to go even harder next year.

I'm sure he did, but not as hard as Redmayne. He got married; he showed up to every single screening of his movie. Any little thing they could trot him out for -- he was there, shaking a lot of hands and kissing a lot of babies. He basically pulled an Anne Hathaway. Actually, he outdid Anne Hathaway. And he's probably going to be back next year because he's got another baity role with The Danish Girl. If there's a chance he could pull a back to back, the campaigning is going to get worse. I just feel bad for Michael Keaton because that was his only chance. He should've been included in the Birdman sweep.

Even though I knew Redmayne would win because of the heavy campaigning that he did, I still held out a little hope that Keaton would pull it out. Too bad that didn't happen. Birdman winning Picture, Director, and Original Screenplay, but not Actor just doesn't make any sense to me. At least Keaton got to go on stage and say a few words. I knew as soon as they announced Neil Patrick Harris as the host that it was not going to work. And it didn't.

Oh, you know Sonny is going to wake up with amnesia. They have to drag the story out for a couple of months. I was shocked when Sonny found out and then he got stabbed and there went my reason to be excited about the story.

I didn't see the "hawtness", either. All I'm seeing are comments like, "Whoo! That was so hawt!!!!" and "How did the censors let that slip by?" and I'm like, did I miss something? That scene wasn't special. It just looked like the same old thing to me. Then, I rolled my eyes at that How to Get Away With Murder plug. So, yeah, that scene wasn't special and I don't find the couple special. This is my first time watching the show in months and man, Dante is an idiot. All I could do was shake my head at him. Once again, he goes to confront someone without backup and ends up paying for it.

And the fact that Redmayne is all buddy-buddy with someone like that just tells me everything that I need to know about him.

I think he is beyond the Melissa Leo level at this point. He's at Anne Hathaway. Here's my thing about Redmayne -- him calling Tom O'Neill comes across as gross because the reference to how discouraged Redmayne was that the other experts ditched him sounds entitled, like how dare they not support him and he has was so sad about it. Really? At least have the awareness to ACT a bit humble. The image Redmayne's comment put in one's mind are of him obsessively checking his Gold Derby rankings, in addition to campaigning 24/7 for months. Would the other nominees like to win? Sure, but they're also working and going about their lives. Being nominated IS an honor in itself. Also, since his comments show that Redmayne is familiar with GoldDerby and Tom O'Neill's blogs and posts, then he MUST know that Tom has been badmouthing other nominees, particularly Keaton. Thanking a blogger who's been trying to smear your competition makes you complicit in it. You don't have to campaign like a nut to get the Oscar. Like Mo'Nique. She didn't campaign at all. She wanted the performance to speak for itself. I remember a lot of the bloggers and pundits badmouthing her about not campaigning. In fact, I remember Tom O'Neill being the ringleader in badmouthing her basically saying that she didn't deserve to win because she refused to campaign. In the end, she won and she didn't end up annoying people in the process.

I think calling Tom O'Neill and thanking him for the support and actually reading gold derby and following the conversations on there counts as some desparate campaigning. Plus, there is a lot of talk about Redmayne's desperate campaigning. It's not like it's a hidden secret. The boy wants the Oscar bad. Too bad it looks like it's actually going to work out for him.

I thought the show was boring. I watched the first ten minutes of it and I was bored out of my mind. I hate Kathy Griffin. I think she's a horrible person and that she's not funny, but she was extremely toned down. And she looked totally out of place. I don't know who that guy is, but after seeing what he had on, he shouldn't be talking about anyone's clothes. Kelly and Giuliana continue to be useless. They should've let this show go when Joan died. Or they should've brought in a whole new cast. Of course they had to replace Joan. But don't just take out George. Get rid of Giuliana and Kelly, too, and then add some people whose fashion opinions are actually worth something and they're not afraid to call out the celebrities.

I bet they'll go all out with getting Val the win now. I'll laugh if it doesn't work out.

I know I hate him because everybody acts like he's so great. They were calling him elite the day he stepped foot into the NFL. He hasn't won anything. And it seems like no one can criticize him with all of the excuses Nantz and Simms were making for him today. I know I'm not going to watch any ESPN or NFL Network because they're just going to drool all over Andrew Luck. Also, he's ugly and he sounds like a Muppet.

I'm glad the Ravens lost because I was not ready to listen to the pundits and analysts and all that other nonsense drool over Joe Flacco. Cowboys and Packers -- my most hated teams -- are playing each other. I'm rooting for the earth to open up and swallow them.

That just made me laugh. Hard. I needed that laugh. I'm sorry, but a block of wood is not better. He doesn't undermine his scene partners or draw focus or ham it up or what the hell ever because he doesn't know what he's doing. Maybe he's improved. I don't know. I don't watch his scenes anymore because it was just too embarrassing to watch him.

Does anyone really care what her secret is? It's probably going to be something really lame that's going to make you roll your eyes or shrug. Why is she still around? She's another useless character that can go.

Man, the Chmerkovskiy/Fam bitterness started almost immediately on twitter. Of course Maks is trying to say he was joking, but whatever.

For real. That was almost like a shrug or a "meh". I would have liked to have seen some more excitement but hey, the right person won.

Better had. Better had been Alfonso.

Isn't she always there? It's like she has nothing else to do but hang around. Her and Joey Fatone. I can't understand what she's saying, either. Plus, she sounds like Miley Cyrus. I hear her voice and I quickly turn around to find out why am I watching something with Miley Cyrus on it. Anyway. That samba/quickstep was no Amber and Derek samba/quickstep. And what was that horrible song they were dancing to?

You know what? All that stuff you said? Someone out there feels the same way about Derek. I've always said that Singin in the Rain number would've been better as a Macy's Stars of Dance thing like Derek always thought he would have a chance to do. Maybe one day, he can go back and do that with some pros and then we can see how great it really would've been.

Well, she's a part of The Fam now so...not really shocked. They "adopted" Artem and Sharna is fully entrenched. That faction just keeps growing...
