Oscars 2015

I assume the solitary "woo" after "most incarcerated nation in the world" was Stephen Colbert with a big foam finger.

Common better than third rate, but Hollywood has made him soft.

Is "soft"ness a poor characteristic in men, African-Americans or just rappers?

I have no idea what that means. Shouldn't you be manning the Christgau thread?

Laura Guyer @laurajguyer
Why are they playing CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG? Is that the musical version of AMERICAN SNIPER?

had Redmayne been anything decent before Theory.. ? gotta say i'd never heard of him.

does green look good on anyone?

he blows smoke into a dude's mouth and shares a bed with him and his mom in Savage Grace.

GAGA VON TRAPP

What the hell is going on

Please Gaga, don't hurt em.

Wow, what an instant bad idea vibe, like an SNL sketch.

is Gaga miming?

SLAY MAMA

Pauline Kael cheering.

didn't someone do this to the Wizard of Oz a year or two ago?

hope Plummer staggers on to take the piss out of it like he has done every day since he was in it.

hope Plummer staggers in and pisses on one of those birch trees.

paging Nazis

did Kael hate The Sound Of Music??

you guys are killing me

its fascinating watching lady gaga trying to transition into phase 2 of her career in such an obvious way

I think Lady Gaga has left me breathless. By which I mean, dad.

I liked her Tony Bennett duet

Xpost you mean reinventing herself as a muppet?

Don't get me in trouble piscesx--forget I said anything.

By which I mean dead, dad

is it too late to give Lady Gaga an Oscar for something?

Are you all trying to say that wasn't good? Xposts

gaga's voice is great for this stuff but...why are we tributing sound of music rn

Plummer obvs told them to get fucked.

Gaga was great, but which I mean terrible, but which I mean why was this in the broadcast?

they should have had Gaga sing acapella renditions of John Williams scores.

Gaga was incredible! I knew she could sing but damn.

But CAD is otm.

aha just looked up the Kael thing.

Desplat beat himself!

did Kael hate The Sound Of Music??

one of her great slams

it got her fired from McCall's or whatever

aw Hans Zimmer giving a genuine hug to the winner. he's had enough acclaim, sure doesn't need more.

Jeff Goldblum does an excellent Jeff Goldblum impression.

confused about why Gaga has settled into the Streisand portion of her career

non-cineaste people of a certain age think tSoM is a great movie

Born this way.

my parents dragged me to Sound of Music about 4 times before i was nine -- and hence, i am as you love me.

i'm starting to think Wes has an outside shot at director upset

I'm all for that upset

I sort of respect Eddie Murphy's adamant refusal to be funny, ever.

Eddie Murphy = no bullshit mode

Michael Keaton loving this night.

"trying"? The Tony Bennett record's been out for five months, after being hatched four years ago. She's just being what she's always been - Stefani, a hyper-talented NYC showbiz kid - though the voice and general professionalism have improved after bad habits apparently have been put aside.
