89th Annual Oscars

[Cheesebeef]

Oh Cheese, not you too. You honestly believe Deadpool deserved exactly zero noms?

Pretty much. I thought the first 45 minutes were fun and different but then it devolved into another superhero movie origin story... with dick jokes.

I thought it was fun, but really didn't get the hype for it.

 

[BillsCarnage]

But could you imagine Deadpool coming out to accept an award if he actually won??

Heck, even having him scurry around the show as a kind of a "behind the scenes with Deadpool" would be funny.

Oh, I thought you were saying these movies should never get any consideration--the Academy hard line, if you will. Granted, I think you're insane for not liking it, but I won't criticize you for THAT

Right? You think you know a guy and then he's just so,,, wrong about something it really makes ya question everything... I'm liking Trump more everyday.

Jk Cheese

Dude, since I read this post, I've been thinking about that for like 5 minutes and it just get's funnier and funnier! Oh the shenanigans... You really need to get network on the line and make that happen Bill!

The 89th annual Hollywood elitist pat yourself on the back and make unwanted political commentary awards.... fantastic...does anyone actually watch this crap?

 

[oaken1]

IMo, the SAG awards actually have more value... but they are not worth watching either

i never said I didn't like it. I said the first forty minutes were really good and the rest was fun.

as far as the academy hardline... no. I still maintain that The Dark Knight not only got robbed of a nomination for Best Picture, but should have won as well. That wasn't just a Batman movie... it was an epic crime saga, that had a lot of political undertones as far as surveillance and the role it can play for both the good and bad in society. If Return Of The King could win best picture (as it rightly did, IMO), TDK should have at least gotten nominated.

Agreed, and it's the reason that I thought we were heading in the right direction last year when Mad Max Fury Road was nominated. Guess not, although most of the field this year, while pretty meh, is still understandable.

Deadpool is the kind of movie that would sweep the MTV Movie Awards, not the Oscars. Unfortunate, but true.

Yeah... I wouldn't put Deadpool in the same sentence as Mad Max at all. Max was truly something artistic... an act of all out carnage on screen that I don't know that I've really ever seen. Deadpool wasn't anything like that, IMO.

Pretty cool that The Lobster was nominated for best original screenplay.

Oscars Screwup Gives ‘Moonlight’s’ Best Picture Award to ‘La La Land’

http://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...e-s-moonlight-s-best-picture-award-la-n725966

"It's very unfortunate." That's all host Jimmy Kimmel could say Sunday night after the Academy Award for best motion picture was initially given to "La La Land" — even though "Moonlight" was the winner.

Warren Beatty, who presented the final award of the evening with Faye Dunaway, his co-star in "Bonnie and Clyde," paused as he looked at the card bearing the name of the winning movie. He handed the card to Dunaway, who called out "La La Land."

But a minute or two into the celebration by "La La Land's" cast and crew, producer Jordan Horowitz stepped to the microphone, asked for quiet and said the real winner was "Moonlight."

Gasps were heard around the auditorium.

"This is not a joke," Horowitz said as the cast and crew of "La La Land" left the stage.

"Moonlight," about a young boy struggling with poverty and his sexuality in Miami, was nominated for eight Academy Awards and also brought a supporting actor Oscar for first timer Mahershala Ali.

It represented a nod to diversity, only a year after only white actors were nominated in the top four Academy Awards categories, prompting the #OscarsSoWhite boycott.

Made for just $1.5 million, "Moonlight" is an unusually small Oscar winner. Having made just over $22 million as of Sunday at the box office, it's one of the lowest grossing best-picture winners ever — but also one of the most critically adored.

 

[Dback Jon]

I thought Jimmy Kimmel was an awesome host.


Glad La La Land didn't win best picture.

 

[Rivercard]

Another oopsie.........

-----------------------------------

A producer whose picture appeared in the “In Memoriam” segment is actually “alive and well.

The show had the correct name in the montage ― Janet Patterson, an Australian costume designer and four-time Oscar nominee. But the image showed Jan Chapman, an Australian producer who worked with Patterson on “The Piano” and “Bright Star.” Patterson earned nominations for both films, the Telegraph noted. Chapman told Variety she was devastated that her image was used instead of her “great friend and longtime collaborator” Patterson.

“I am alive and well and an active producer,” Chapman wrote in an email to the trade publication.

Agreed on Kimmel.

And what an EPIC fail at the end. The shame of it all is that the entire story today is the disaster over what should be looked at as a pretty historic wi /upset.

Um, no.

Just remind them that at the end of the day all they really are is a bunch of overpaid court jesters.

Flip them a quarter and tell them to entertain you... no one cares about their opinion on anything.

Are you kidding? I LOVED hearing Meryl Streep's opinion of Trump.

 

[Bodha]

All these award shows deserve these snaffus. They are ridiculously over complicated with the envelopes. They treat them like the nuclear football. I heard that PWC manages the envelopes and has multiple agents on both sides of the stage and yadayada.


You could have an intern type out all the winning cards. Have a supervisor look them over. Good? Boom, done.

Awards night starts, hand the envelope to the presenter.

Dumb dumb dumb. They are so full of self importance

In Trumpland, actors and entertainers are to be ignored and ridiculed. However, Donald's celebrity status as an entertainer is conveniently accepted.

I honestly don't know what she said. I remember the headlines that she said something but I don't know what.

A lot are, but a lot of others are people that take advantage of their overexposure. Leonardo DeCaprio has done a lot of good for the environment, Angelina Jolie has done a lot of good for refugees and the poor in Africa. But they are self-important, so none of that matters. Money or not, they've done a lot more for charity than you'll ever do.

Readers Digest version: She called him out for mocking the disabled reporter.

Dont ever assume that.

In fact one could argue given their resources and free time, as compared to somebody who makes a fraction of them and works a 9-5, they do less than they can.


For example:
Leo is worth $100,000,000 and donates $10,000. I might only be worth $2,000 but give $100. Who gave more?

Obviously me based on ratio. But moreover its not a competition. Good deeds are good deeds regardless of size.

Um, sure. But what makes your good deed any better than another person's good deed, whoever they are? Sounds like complaining just to complain.
