Perfect time to have somebody who's not nominated sing songs from a 50-year-old movie.

After JK Simmons, the show was really boring and bad for the next 90 minutes or more. They need to spread some of the bigger awards out.

The Sound of Music tribute and Julie Andrews was worth enduring the previous 3 hours for.

I wasn't a fan of Grand Budapest's soundtrack, honestly.

Lucky for me schools are closed tomorrow due to ice (DFW area), so I get to sleep in!

You're tellin' ME. And I haven't been getting much sleep lately. I was hoping the Oscars would put me to sleep, but it hasn't yet.

BTW, what's Jeff Goldblum doing there? Does he have any connection to any nominated films?

I've seen stuff online of her outside of her regular schtick. She's got some talent.

Someone should tell NPH that Eddie Murphy's career hasn't exactly been on fire for quite some time.

I sure hope they don't give Sniper best adapted screenplay. But they probably will.

I'm pretty sure Eddie Murphy wrote his own intro.

Michael Keaton's mom needs to tell him to spit out that chewing gum.

That screenplay win for Birdman (when GBH was largely expected to win that category) feels a lot like a consolation prize.

Oprah sure has ballooned into a whole lotta woman again. That dress must have seams of Kevlar.

I'm down with Imitation Game getting the Oscar for best adapted screenplay, honestly.
