The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[vb68]

Heh.  I don't think Jennifer Aniston was miked but I thought I heard an "Oh!" just like Vanessa Bayer's version of Rachel. ;) 

[Diana Berry]

I'm sure they were in on it and had to  sign releases to be filmed.

Just now, Mystery said:

Dakota Johnson was funny and charming in a tv show called Ben and Kate, but I agree she seems dreary nowadays. 

Ben and Kate was wonderful!  And she was excellent in it. It was on Fox so of course it got cancelled too soon.  I just thin she hates Dornan and the whole 50 Shades thing and so all her misery oozes through.

[Diana Berry]

I wish Keanu was at this awards show.

[mtlchick]

"Ignore the jerk behind him."  Oh Matt Damon.  

[mojoween]

Whatever Dev Patel and Andrew Garfield were just talking about I feel like I should have also been there.

Keanu Reeves?  If so, I would accept either him or Keanu Reeves as John Wick as the Oscars!

[ebk57]

Huh... Zachary Quinto reading 1984 might just get me to sign up for Audible.

I agree. She always seems dreary.

I would be too if I looked like a female Don Johnson.

[sally-can-wait]

Seeing Andrew Garfield, I have to ask if anyone else saw 'Silence'? No one I knew saw it and I want to know if anyone else fell asleep during it or if it was just me?

[Craphole Island]

I actually liked the tour bus bit.

 

I think I just like seeing celebrities interact with normal folk haha

It wasn't just you, I heard it too!

Now that he has a hit and is Backkkk , I wish he had been asked.

[maraleia]

Another twitter fun fact- Anousheh Ansari, the first Iranian in space, delivered the powerful statement from Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi tonight.

During the last commercial break.  At least I think that was Zachary and I think he was reading 1984...  I've been into the wine.

That's the whole thing.  It felt like you should be so lucky to be in their presence sort of thing.

Jesus Christ. Put your damn phones down. YOU ARE THERE. And they are taping you. Dolts.

I would be doing the same thing, and so most people.

I actually think this bit is cute and fun.  Ryan was a sweetheart.

I'd take the human Keanu and the cat Keanu together.

The bus tour is a hell of a lot better than the foot giveaways.

That sounds messy and illegal.

[vb68]

I'm a huge Rez Ahmed fan. Hope he becomes a big star.

Oh I know. God forbid anyone live in the actual moment.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I thought I heard her say "Kubo and the G-strings". What a twist!

[Artsda]

I didn't even realize Jenn Anniston was there.

[mojoween]

Ava DuVernay wants me to fall more in love with her - she tweeted this:

"A small sign of solidarity. I chose to wear a gown by a designer from a majority Muslim country. Thanks to @AshiStudio of Lebanon. #Oscars"

[Browncoat]

I'm happy for The Jungle Book.  The effects/animation were spot-on.

[thuganomics85]

Kind of surprised they would have two stars of one of the nominees present a category.  I guess they weren't worried by any protests or anger if their film lost!

Well deserved win for The Jungle Book.  One of the biggest surprises of 2016 for me.

[bmoore4026]

Because Marvel and Ike Perlmutter don't give a shit about awards or accolades.

[Artsda]

Disney is doing well tonight.

And as an added bonus, it's a beautiful dress.

I just watched it yesterday and I HATED every minute of it. I wanted desperately to fall asleep, but my bf worships at the altar of Scorsese, and it would have been sacrilege to do so. Boring, dreary, and what Simon Cowell would have described as "indulgent".
Originally Marty wanted Daniel Day Lewis in the role that Garfield played, and now I can't help but think the film would have been at least 38% better if DDL HAD been cast.

[bmoore4026]

Oh, fuck off, Seth Rogan!

They were within a hair's breadth of being Disney's fifth Billion-dollar movie of 2016.

[Browncoat]

Yet another unnecessary bit, just taking up precious time.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Aw, MJF. Haven't seen him for awhile. He looks good!

[bmoore4026]

Nice to see Michael J. Fox

[mojoween]

I will love Michael J. Fox forever and ever.

[okerry]

EIGHTY-EIGHT MILES AN HOUR!!! aw, that's wonderful!

[irisheyes]

It was Marty McFly my son saw in the opening!  I laughed at him when he said it!!!

Michael J. Fox is looking really good!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who did not enjoy it. Now I don't feel bad for falling asleep!

[Jaded]

[vb68]

Lovely to see Michael J Fox!

[galaxygirl76]

So, I'm bored.

[ebk57]

The Schuyler Sisters!

[Browncoat]

Shut up, Seth!  I feel sorry for MJF, having to share the stage with this goober.

[Misslindsey]

Schuyler Sisters! Okay I might like Seth Rogan, at least in this moment. 

[ShadowHunter]

Michael J.Fox love the Back to the Future trilogy and Teen Wolf.  I have never liked any of Seth Rogan movies.

[Misslindsey]

And Peggy!

[sally-can-wait]

Hacksaw Ridge was a brutal film to watch.
