That's how I felt about Russell Crowe the year Denzel won for Training Day.  

I'm still convinced that this was their "oops our bad" for not giving Denzel the Oscar for The Hurricane.

Emma Stone won? I like her overall, but she was meh in this.  And she's sadly giving me Anne Hathaway vibes.

Subjective- but I think it's crap to dismiss someone's work just because ALLEGATIONS have been made against them.
I love Denzel, but found him lacking in Fences. To me it felt phoned in.

I agree. I watched both and Casey's performance was heart-breaking. He deserved it and it was his award. Everyone knew it was going to be him.

I don't know why, but I find it very annoying when young actresses get up to the stage all breathless and rambling. I know they're probably nervous/excited, but you'd think they'd have more composure in this business. Editors sometimes have more poise!
Anyway, I don't like Emma Stone, and I'm probably alone in that opinion, so I'll see myself out!

I know what you are saying and I think Casey is a talented actor but I could not stand MBTS and I did not like his performance. Shrugs.

Ha! That's how I felt about Denzel the year Al Pacino won for Scent of a Woman. I was sad Al hadn't earned an Oscar yet, but damn Denzel's Malcolm X was transcendent.

And I'm still bitter RDJ didn't win that year lol. Or the other time he was nominated because he deserved it for Tropic Thunder as well.

 

It's past 11 here. I can't remember the last time the Oscars went past 11.

Lol, I remember Hathaway looking at the Oscar and squeaking, "It came true!" And wanting to throw up. I do recall being pleasantly surprised by Brie Larson last year for being succinct and gracious.
