The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[Neeners]

She definitely looked like she was on something. Or maybe it was from lack of sleep...

[zxy556575]

Is there any reason Lupita Nyong'o might attend? Her fashion sense always livens up the joint.

I think it was fear

[mojoween]

If I remember correctly, Mick Jagger has that same sort of nonsense going on too.  It's unseemly.  And how uncomfortable can the older kids be?  I mean their kids have an aunt or uncle younger than they are.

Here we go!

[wallflower75]

Here we go....

[Browncoat]

As much as I dislike Justin Timberlake, this is a catchy earworm of a tune.

[mojoween]

JT may be obnoxious but I cannot hate on his ability to move.

[galaxygirl76]

What's this, the Grammy's?

[thuganomics85]

Show opens with a Justin Timberlake performance?  Is this the Oscars or did I stumble upon a Grammy rerun?

[leighdear]

Justin is everything. 

[Fostersmom]

This song annoys me only slightly less than Happy did.

[vb68]

Have a good show everyone...

 

Timberlake? Can't help expecting Jimmy Fallon to jump out.

[maraleia]

I like that this opening number got everyone moving in the audience. So much better than those stupid stunts where the host spoofs the nominated movies.

[Misslindsey]

I like Timberlake most of the time, but this song not so much. Is this the one from Trolls?

[Browncoat]

Kind of nice, too, to start with one of the nominated songs and get it out of the way.

We can't expect Jimmy to do a musical opening number, can we.

Why is the girl behind Ryan Gosling dressed as Martha Washington?

[Diana Berry]

Let the snark begin people.

After  hearing that song every 5 minutes, I still love it.

I think I would find it more entertaining if he did pop up.

People awkwardly dancing.

[Calvada]

I miss the days when an obviously stoned Jack Nicholson was sitting in the front row. 

[sally-can-wait]

This is strangely fun.

[ABay]

Looks like Jackie Chan is seated in the rafters.

[argrow]

May this be the last time I ever hear this song.

[ichbin]

This would annoy me less if it was Bruno Mars.

[Neeners]

I actually liked that opening!

[Fostersmom]

I'll give them this, this is a good way to open. Usually the nominated songs are randomly shoved in and they know Justin would be a lock on a solid open to the show.

Speaking of Gosling,  did he bring Eva Mendes?

Or pretend like they're running late...

[wallflower75]

...And now one of the nominated songs has been song, which means one fewer bathroom break for us.

[megwhite]

This was great! I heart Justin Timberlake

[thuganomics85]

Here's Kimmel! Start placing bets for what time Matt Damon ruins everything for him!

[bmoore4026]

Once again, if it were up to me, the Oscars number would feature people dressed in 18th Century French noble garb, singing the "Ascot Gavotte" from My Fair Lady, whilst scenes from Movie 43, That's My Boy, Cloud Atlas (you know which ones I'm talking aboout), The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, Waterworld (peeing and drinking), any Friedberg and Seltzer film, and assorted blackface numbers play on a big screen in the background.

I was wondering why they sat him in the back of the theater.

[Ohwell]

I'm sorry but that haircut and beard makes Timberlake look like a neo-Nazi.  All he needs are tattoos on his neck.

[mojoween]

I liked it but I am annoyed the cameraman pulled back on JT and Jessica smooching after the song.  I love that sort of stuff.

[Misslindsey]

Is that Mel Gibson's daughter or girlfriend?

Wearing his sunglasses because he's Jack.

[Calvada]

Taking a shot at Mel - rethinking my indifference to Kimmel!

[thuganomics85]

Ugh, I can still watch his movies when he's behind the camera, but seeing Mel Gibson still sleeves me.

There's Matt!

[leighdear]

The look Justin Timberlake gave Jimmy Kimmel was everything.

Everything is less annoying when Bruno Mars does it.

Girlfriend, recent baby momma (last month).

[maraleia]

Love the Matt Damon burn because The Great Wall just UGH.

[thuganomics85]

Thanks, Kimmel!  I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thinks Damien Chazelle looks extremely young.  At least he grew some facial hair, so he looks he is of legal drinking age now!

[Machiabelly]

Whose boob are sitting next to Ryan Gosling?

[DearEvette]

'We didn't see Elle, but we loved it."  Ha!
