The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[Bandgeek77]

20 years since the first Toy Story? Wow. I still love Buzz and Woody!

Inside Out won? I thought for sure it would be Anomalisa. It had some great buzz going.

[bmoore4026]

And Studio Ghibli gets screwed over again

[Browncoat]

No surprise there, but I'm not mad.  I loved Inside Out.

 

I loved When Marnie Was There, too, but I don't think it was Ghibli's best.

Inside Out was kinda a no brainer for me.  Other than Shaun I wasn't impressed with the other three.

[thuganomics85]

Guess they needed to do something to make Inside Out's obvious win entertaining.  Can't believe it's been 20 years since Toy Story.  I just hope the fourth one doesn't disappoint, because I thought the third was close to a perfect send-off.

[chitowngirl]

I don't understand the intro music. Is there a reason behind all this old music being played?

Former Academy Award winning scores?

[bmoore4026]

And more censored cussing.

[Bandgeek77]

Can't believe it's been 20 years since Toy Story. I just hope the fourth one doesn't disappoint, because I thought the third was close to a perfect send-off.

Totally agree. Toy Story 3 was really, really good.

[VCRTracking]

I am the kid from ROOM jumping out of my seat to get a better look at the Star Wars droids.

I liked the Inside Out guy's speech. One of the better ones of the night.

[P2C2E]

I think the Inside Out guys have my favourite speech so far.

[Bandgeek77]

So, was that little speech from Kevin Hart planned?

[bmoore4026]

No.   No no no.  You don't pull this shit on me after such pretty violins and then give me this crap!

[bjork]

Finally, The Weeknd. But Cirque du Solelil?

[Potanical Pardon]

Olivia Munn was fantastic in Newsroom, okay on the Daily Show, and likeable in a clumsy dorky/trying hard to gain credibility despite everyone knowing she was hired for her looks on Attack of the Show.

 

There's an awesome video of her on Youtube doing a news report about MC Hammer, pronouncing his name as "McHammer", bless her heart, while her cohost loses it and she genuinely didn't understand why/know who MC Hammer is.

First Oscar for Chile - Congratulations to Pato Escala and Gabriel Osorio on winning Best Animated Short for BearStory!

[Umbelina]

That girl on the wire seemed to get caught there for a while.

[Dewey Decimate]

While the movie was worse than the fly that lands on a turd from Donald Trump's asshole, I love that song from 50 Shades. And the performance... sex up the Oscars, y'all!!

[Artsda]

Everyone started whipping out cash fast for the cookies, I think the audience is really hungry. 

 

Love The Weeknd.

[wallflower75]

Just one thing to say--I would rather see the Bond song win than the one from Fifty Shades of Gray, if for no other reason than so I don't have to hear the following phrase: "Academy Award-winning film Fifty Shades of Gray."  By all that's holy, please let the only awards that movie wins be Razzies.

 

Having said that--I kinda sorta liked that song.

 

And not show-related--I love that little commercial featuring Rock, Paper, Scissors.

[ebk57]

That rock, paper, scissors commercial was adorable!

[bjork]

That was better than his Grammy performance, despite the "edgy" dancing.

[Bandgeek77]

And not show-related--I love that little commercial featuring Rock, Paper, Scissors.

So adorable!

[thuganomics85]

I thought that this entire time the reason the "See You Again" didn't get nominated was because voters turned their noses on Furious 7 for being a goofy action flick. But now that I know they were willing to nominate a song from freaking 50 Shades of Grey, I don't know what to think.

[Zanne]

The rock, paper, scissors ad was the best part of the Oscars, so far.

[Browncoat]

I love the color of Reese's dress, but not sure about the fit at top.

[bmoore4026]

The back of Kate's dress is bizarre, but she's rocking the glasses

[ebk57]

I love the color of Reese's dress, but not sure about the fit at top.

 

Agree about the dress.  I do love Kate's glasses.

[Bandgeek77]

I love the color of Reese's dress, but not sure about the fit at top.

I don't think it's the fit, so much as the design. They purposely put ruffles at the top to maybe make it look like she had more cleavage? It is odd.

[bmoore4026]

And more black jokes.....I'm afraid this show is making me slightly racist

[ebk57]

Like in London and stuff?

 

This is great

[sally-can-wait]

I think Chris is trying to do a Billy on the Street thing. It works...I think?

[mtlchick]

"We did that (looting) already and I didn't get anything the first time."  Hee hee!  

 

The Man on the Street outside of the theater is hilarious.  Though I feel bad for the people behind Bridge of Spies.

[ByaNose]

So Chris is still talking about the shutout of black actors?! Wasn't that three hours ago. I'm going to bed. Good luck, Leo!

[Fostersmom]

I thought Chris Rock had 3 daughters?! Oh well.

 

How many did he say he had? 2? Apparently his wife, who he's separated from, did some shady shit to get the youngest, but I doubt Chris is as clueless about it as he's tried to claim.

[KaveDweller]

Finally, The Weeknd. But Cirque du Solelil?

 

Cirque du Soleil performs in that theater regularly, so I guess they wanted to work something in?

[bmoore4026]

Patricia Arquette - Like Daria if she were blonde and not funny

[Misslindsey]

 

And more black jokes.....I'm afraid this show is making me slightly racist

Well, the musical Avenue Q has a song called "Everybody is a Little Bit Racist Sometimes". It is quite catchy. 

[ebk57]

How many did he say he had? 2? Apparently his wife, who he's separated from, did some shady shit to get the youngest, but I doubt Chris is as clueless about it as he's tried to claim.

 

Maybe only 2 of them are Girl Scout age?

[Bandgeek77]

So Chris is still talking about the shutout of black actors?! Wasn't that three hours ago. I'm going to bed. Good luck, Leo!

I actually took it as making fun of the whole "scandal". The people they showed never saw any other movies but Straight Outta Compton.

[Misslindsey]

 

Maybe only 2 of them are Girl Scout age?

Or want to be in Girl Scouts?

[ByaNose]

Sly sort of got screwed.

[mtlchick]

WOW.  Rylance pulls the upset!  There goes my Oscar pool but I have to say Rylance was amazing. 

[wallflower75]

HOLY CRAP!!!  I did not see that coming!

[Misslindsey]

Well, that completely screwed up my Oscar pool.

[AimingforYoko]

Aw, too bad Sly. Probably was your last shot.

[Artsda]

I almost thought it was Mark Ruffalo. That's mean to to him to have another actor with such a close name. lol

[Browncoat]

Wow, that was a shocker!  I thought Stallone was a lock. 

[Sew Sumi]

Maybe only 2 of them are Girl Scout age?

I just assumed that they brought out the entire "troop."

[Umbelina]

Wow, when I heard "Mark" I thought Ruffalo was finally going to get an Oscar.
