CPP83 February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 (edited) Whoever that guy was just stole the show, heh. Can he replace Neil? The way they try and play people off who may never have such a moment again after just 30 or so seconds on stage when basically the whole ceremony is devoted to total crap and ridiculous nonsense and terrible jokes is just so rude and disgusting to me. ETA: Michael Keaton is chewing away on his gum like a man determined to pretend he's okay with not winning, as if, and he isn't prepared to go total Batman on all their punk asses. Ellen was so much better interacting with the audience when she hosted, going down the aisles and really making the celebs laugh and have fun. I feel like Neil is just trying so hard to make something good happen. Who didn't explain to him how the Oscars' are run? Just how many lies was he told about this gig?

thuganomics85 February 23, 2015 Author Share February 23, 2015 Steve Carell pretty much saved the audience bit. Really not feeling NPH so far. Everything is Awesome at least had a spark (if nothing else, I'm still amazed I just saw The Lonely Island at the Oscars), but still kind of disappointed. I preferred Happy from last year; that really was a crowd-pleaser, I thought. Plus, I was disappointed Chris Pratt didn't show up; he is someone I could totally see being down with goofing off up there. But, was that actually Will Arnett in the Batsuit. If so, that's kind of cool. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/33299-the-annual-academy-awards-general-discussion/page/10/#findComment-854811
