The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[emma675]

Yum, John Legend and Common are some good looking men.

[Misslindsey]

I always want John Legend to sing "Nutmeg" whenever I see him.

[Dancingjaneway]

As long as the song from 50 shades of suck doesn't win I'm o.k. 

[bmoore4026]

There were other songs nominated?

[Dewey Decimate]

Fucking fantastic!! From spaghetti westerns to The Thing (personal fave) to this year... hell YES to Ennio.

[mojoween]

Fuck James Bond.

[wallflower75]

Excuse me while I go vomit.  Ugh ugh ugh.

[Fostersmom]

Am I evil because I think John and Chrissy's kid is going to be rather unfortunate looking? Granted, I find her to be a total butterface.

[Misslindsey]

Sam Smith.....Still Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Browncoat]

Well shit.  I never ever thought I'd hope Lady Gaga won an Oscar, but the song she sang was miles better than this dreck.

[mtlchick]

WTF OSCARS.  Little Monsters are going to come after you.  And some of the normal folk after this performance. 

[sally-can-wait]

Oh boy...and to think I actually muted Sam Smith when he was singing that song! Yikes.

[emma675]

I like Sam Smith, but that was the worst Bond song ever.

[elzin]

Ok, but that was a nice speech at least?

[thuganomics85]

Fucking hell!  Of course it goes to the worst Bond song ever.  Whatever, Sam Smith.

[CherryMalotte]

Oy vey, no thanks...that's a pretty weak ass Bond song.  

[Browncoat]

I hate Sasha Baron Cohen.

[SuburbanHangSuite]

Hahahahahahaha. I'm still pissed about the Sly upset so this gave me joy. Chris Rock is no dummy. Step away from the gay jokes, Chris!

[mtlchick]

Ali G?!  Wow, that takes me back.  

[thuganomics85]

Ali G is making a comeback, now?  Is Borat next?

[ByaNose]

Why is Sasha Baron Cohen still getting invited to the Oscars?

[Bandgeek77]

Was that Simon Pegg with some curly gray hair laughing at Sacha Baron Cohen? I don't know who that was, but yum!

[mtlchick]

Fuck James Bond.

 

If that means I get a shot with Daniel Craig for a few minutes...then yes.  (cough.) 

[Chrissytd]

So this is going to run 30 minutes over.

Common and John Legend had the biggest WTF looks on their faces as they announced the winner.

[elzin]

Fuck James Bond.

Sarah Silverman? Is that you?

[catrox14]

Why was Olivia Wilde wearing packing tape for her top?

[onthebrink03]

If that means I get a shot with Daniel Craig for a few minutes...then yes.  (cough.) 

BWAH!!!  Is there a sign-up sheet?

[Browncoat]

I wish these were on Saturday.  I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning and go be productive at work!

[Bandgeek77]

I do love me some William H. Macy.

[bmoore4026]

Gaga was fucking robbed!

[thuganomics85]

Oh, it is 11:30 already.  Good thing I'm off tomorrow.  Still, classic Oscars!

[catrox14]

BWAH!!!  Is there a sign-up sheet?

 

I'll just be sitting here, first in line for Idris Elba's Bond.  You can have Daniel Craig

[Sew Sumi]

If that means I get a shot with Daniel Craig for a few minutes...then yes.  (cough.) 

I'd take any of them in their Bond Prime, except Roger Moore. He always bugged me for some reason. 

[ebk57]

That should be against the Geneva Convention 

[onthebrink03]

Actually, I really am saving myself for Aidan Turner Bond.

[Sew Sumi]

So this is going to run 30 minutes over.

I called 30 minutes over about half an hour ago. LOL

[bmoore4026]

If DiCaprio loses, I give up on Hollywood and its tastes

[blackwing]

"The Writings on the Wall" is not just a terrible Best Song winner, it's a terrible song all around.  It's utterly boring and the wailing and screeching was a bit much.  I wonder if there were political reasons for giving it to Sam Smith.  The Academy must really really hate Diane Warren.  That song sang by Lady Gaga was 1000 times better than Sam Smith's song.

[catrox14]

So, is it me or does it seem....awkward that JJ Abrams is presenting in a category that he really could have be nominated.

[bluwater]

Actually, I really am saving myself for Aidan Turner Bond.

Holy crap, YES! YES! A thousand times YES!

[thuganomics85]

I'm sure what J.J. Abrams really wanted to say "Yeah, yeah, you got noms, but my film outgrossed all of your films combined!  Me!  J.J. Fucking Abrams!  I'm the King of the Galaxy!!!!"

 

Hoping for a George Miller upset, but I knew Inarritu had it after the DGA.

Let them go after Sam Smith.  They went overboard going after Duncan Jones for his correct criticism of her Grammy Tribute to Bowie.  I wasn't a fan of Smith's Bond theme - it was probably the weakest song of both the Craig and Brosnan eras.  The Madonna song was better.  To think it could have been Radiohead...

[catrox14]

LOL. Innaritu talked off the play off music !!! HAHAHAHA

[Brandi Maxxxx]

The wind-up music only makes the speeches sound more dramatic.

[Browncoat]

Gaga's tribute to Bowie at the Grammys was a travesty, but her performance tonight was outstanding.

 

And you go, Alejandro -- ignore that orchestra!

[mojoween]

I wish these were on Saturday.  I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning and go be productive at work!

Sames! My Fitbit is going to yell at me that I did not hit my sleep goal, dammit.

I was hoping Gaga would win but Sam's speech was very nice.

How's about we drop the painful banter before announcing nominees and awards and the stupid schtick throughout the show so the poor orchestra, who I would bet my mortgage does NOT want to do it, doesn't have to crank up the Valkyries when the winners are saying something important? This is THEIR night, fools.

Amen.  I don't know why I was surprised, though.  The makeup of the Academy has been discussed (and discussed, and discussed...) since the nominees were announced.  Why should it be surprising that a cheesy song from a James Bond movie written by two men beat out a heartbreaking, thought-provoking song written by two women?

 

OMG--the directing winner is getting played off?  Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit...

[sally-can-wait]

The wind-up music only makes the speeches sound more dramatic.

I actually think it's taking away from some of the powerfulness of them. Makes them seem campy.

[bmoore4026]

I like to think music is saying
