I had the volume turned down on my TV and I didn't recognize Faye Dunaway.  Couldn't figure out who that strange woman was standing next to Warren.

This.  I had to catch up on the posts here to figure out who she was.  Wow.

Wait! That's Bonnie & Clyde? What happened to them?

76 and 80 years of life...respectively

Warren looks good, Faye has been messing with her face and not in a good way. I remember seeing her a few years ago in, I want to say CSI, and she looked awful.

[mojoween]

Huh.  I am not young and all this time I had no idea Shirley and Warren were siblings.  Now I find it even MORE adorable.

[Misslindsey]

The inevitable La La Land win. I so wanted a Moonlight upset. I thought all the performances in Moonlight were fantastic. 

Just a side note the movie theater that I saw Lion in must have been super dusty, because I ugly cried during that movie. 

[wallflower75]

Surprise, surprise...La La Land won out in the end.  And with that...good night, everyone!

[thuganomics85]

And it's La La Land.  Was hoping for a Moonlight upset, but I still really enjoyed it.

[bmoore4026]

Well, that's it then.  I'm off.

[ShadowHunter]

I wanted Hidden Figures to win.

[sally-can-wait]

Damn. I jinxed it.

[ByaNose]

See you next year everyone!

[maraleia]

Fuck this. Proves that the academy as a whole is still racist and homophobic. Read this http://fusion.net/story/388764/who-the-hell-is-this-racist-anonymous-oscar-voter-we-want-to-know/?utm_campaign=Fusion&utm_source=fusion_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow

A film about the hopes and dreams of Hollywood wannabes...gets lauded by the Hollywood elite. 

Well, ok.

 

Bed time.  Fun award season, kids.  See you for...the Tonys!

I was rooting for Hidden Fences. I heard good things about it ;)

 

Thank God, I can go to bed!

[Browncoat]

Yay!!!!!  I could have lived with a Moonlight win, but other than that, there were no contenders in my opinion.  I am happy with the La La Land win.

[Machiabelly]

Thanks for the fun everyone.

 

Over to you West Coast

[sally-can-wait]

Not that big of applause. The room wanted Moonlight or Hidden Figures.

It would have thrilled me to see that upset.  I loved the heck out of that movie.

I knew they were siblings because the Warren actually worked the stage door at the theatre I worked the stage door at.  So I had the same job as Warren Beatty did.  Once.  A long time ago.

We must have been in the same movie theater! I think I started ugly crying only a few minutes into the movie and didn't stop even after the credits ended.

[Vermicious Knid]

Haven't see the movie, so how much of this was that it's a good movie, and how much is Hollywood loving movies about Hollywood?

[thuganomics85]

Wait, what the fuck?!!!!!

[sally-can-wait]

WTF??!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I just wiped out everything I had typed and am sitting here with jaw agape.

Why is Jimmy making it worse?

Great way to create a buzz. I'm skeptical.
