Oscars 2018

Ugh. The five seconds that they just showed of Oldman in that that film was painful.

also that makes at least one rapist and domestic abuser winner so far (that I know of)

As the clips play, I wonder how Day-Lewis, Chalamet, and Kaluuya could lose to Gary Oldman. And they do. I wrote this when Darkest Hour was released, but I'll repeat: Oldman already got kudos for a pitch perfect incarnation of colonialism and empire in 2011....

between the not understanding that this is a 4 hour show now and not knowing the guy playing winston churchill under 7 pounds of makeup is a lock for best actor I am starting to wonder if you all have watched one of these productions previously

Holy shit is J Law wearing platforms or is she really a foot and a half taller than Jodie

Ok that’s a dumb question. I’m really high right now

Ya that was a good movie

You could video a potato in a suit as Churchill and get a nom tombot otm

Obama was president

Wow it’s probably really gonna be a whole four hours tonight isn’t it

Tom is clearly not getting the thrill of the moment

McDormand is rad. Her film is bad.

Is Martin M there with the Fleabag writer/actor?

3 Billboards was some bullshit but I can’t hate on Frances McDormand’s performance

In other words Alfred OTM

inclusion rider!

Also that is the first and last time that I will ever use the dreadful construction “hate on” in a public forum

ARE WE READY FOR FAY 'N' WARREN

urgh jeez that scene where she talks to a deer! christ that was so bad.

Fey/Warren 2020

What's an inclusion rider?

Yeah the two oscary scenes (deer/slippers) were shite but she was brilliant besides tbf

urgh jeez that scene where she talks to a deer! christ that was so bad.

― piscesx,

and her slippers!

I might be wrong about this but I think if if Gary Oldman wins, i think he'll be the first Best Actor winner to portray someone who tried to starve to death a character portrayed by another Best Actor winner (Ben Kingsley)

I don't care so long as nic cage plays it

Never in my drunkest fantasies have I ever thought Warren Betty was hot. Even when he was a young man I couldn't imagine him working up energy to make love to anything except his ego.

I assume inclusion rider = contract clause stating that performers will only work on projects where the cast and crew etc. are a minimum % female, minority, etc

"Inclusion Rider" = best song on Washing Mashine imo

didn't see that coming.

?

ah, the fish-fucking movie

Haven’t seen it but I called it

First sci-fi Best Picture winner?

my whole FB feed full of theatre kids is whining about the best song winner not being the Greatest Showman song. *updates FB purity*

Right choice imo

Not sure it's a sci fi tbh

Beatty is purdy in Splendor in the Grass.

deer scene was just a re-run of this

xps u just made Alfred splutter in the glass

^Alfred Soto's sin

I'm surprised Lady Bird got the full snub.

Not snubbed from my heart

JERRY LEWIS WON THE IN MEMORIAM, CALLED IT

HAIL JERRY, KING OF THE DEAD

I like vedder a lot tbh, also him doing the in memoriam is extra poignant since most of his vocalist peers are dead now

yeah, good point. i thought he nailed the performance.

My kids listen to this Greatest showman millennial whoop shit all the time. It's like an Christian pop.

― Heavy Messages (jed_), Sunday, March 4, 2018

uhhh, I'm pretty sure I posted her speech/dance with Jolie when she accepted her special award at the Governors Ball? in November?

Note to Wesley Morris: Kubrick won an Oscar for 2001's special effects (shared with Douglas Trumbull I think).
