Yeah, that was not an Oscar worthy performance. "Fruitvale Station" though? Now you're talking.

It's gotta be a little weird - a few years ago a live action short nominee said that the film got rejected by Sundance.

Jason Mitchell deserves to be there as much, if not more, than anybody in my view. I would not have been upset if Samuel L. Jackson had gotten a nom for The Hateful Eight either. He was great in it.

I normally like Lady Gaga singing live on TV stuff, but man that was painful to me.

The Hateful Eight was one of the year's best movies. That said, I wouldn't have put Jackson's performance among the year's 5 best lead performances.

It's not that they don't care, but being snubbed all those years for films like Over the Top and Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot has made them numb to the disappointment.
