I can't wait for his inevitable animated Netflix show, Fishfucker: The Series.

Wow the Best Picture of the Year actually won. Yay!!

Decker

If only there were some other way to find out which movie just won the Oscar for Best Picture. Some sort of information superhighway.

Goonies85

They also forgot Tobe Hooper...who passed away around the same time Romero did...

OldBoy

What a terribly boring and predictable show...

I did win my pool going 19-5. Not too bad. Should’ve went with Shape as that was my gut, but oh well, it won and deserved to do so. I did like it better than 3B...

Brack

Come off it profit, I mean, prophet.

Why So Blu?

Then what the hell was this thread for? Seems like the thread was about as dull as the actual show. BTW, you know I'm just busting balls, right?

Decker

Yes. You did know I was making a sarcastic joke, right?

Why So Blu?

Jes.

Decker

I gotta agree with Old Boy. It was a dull and predictable show. So much didn't work. Going into the movie theater was probably really exciting for those 150 people, but it was deadly boring for the 1 Billion watching it on TV. McDormand gave the only memorable speech. There were quite literally no surprises (excluding maybe Kobe Bryant -- and "Remember Me", if you're Perkinsun Dzees ). For someone who has become very political in the past year, Kimmell was pretty tame and milquetoast as a host this year.
Time for some new blood next year, I'd say. How about Key & Peele?

At least Brack seemed to have a drunken good time. Or whatever else he might be on.

Brack

Get out! Get out!

And Powers Boothe. Come on! He was a favorite of mine.

Goonies85

Forgot about that one. Good point. He was also a favorite of mine. Loved him in Southern Comfort, Sudden Death, and the Deadwood TV show...He was great in plenty of other things...Oh, and just remembered him in Red Dawn...Don't know how they could've forgotten him...

Deakins finally getting his Oscar, Get Out's original screenplay win, and del Toro taking home statues for Director and Picture all make me a happy camper.

OldBoy

Yeah considering Kimmel literally cried on every other show this season, I’m surprised he was so so sedated and generic. Very uninteresting. I really hope he is not asked back...

Giles

of course my DVR cut off the very beginning of her acceptance speech - damn it.

Goonies85

Agree with all of your points, but most of all Deakins finally getting an Oscar...He should've probably won multiple times by now...Especially some of the work he did with the Coens...He should have definitely won for Fargo...

James T. Kirk

I would have preferred had Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri won Best Picture. Have not seen Molly's Game yet so won't comment on the Adapted Screenplay category, except to say that I thought Call Me by Your Name was a very overrated and pretentious film and did not deserve to win. But I will say that I think Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri should have won in the original category.

an inclusion rider is something actors put into their contracts to ensure gender and racial equality in hiring on movie sets. We should support this for a billion reasons, but if you can't find a reason to, here's one: it will make movies better.

There is literally nothing pretentious about Call Me By Your Name except maybe the setting. It's just a touching simple story of first love. Now Phantom Thread, THAT is a pretentious movie.
As far as 3B goes. I've covered that ground, so let me just say Get Out was a very clever unexpected movie and the screenplay was a big part of the reason why. It could have been a simple genre horror thriller or sly satire but it ended up being so much more. What a remarkable first film, and from such an unlikely filmmaker.

musick

the subsequent comments do a better job of spelling out how rediculous the ramblings by the author are

melasnus

Wait...WHAT?!?
Deakins has never won before?!?!?

Kimmel brings his lame played out Matt Damon shtick to the Oscars

Do they really have to show 2 hrs of technical awards every year and then in the last 20 minutes they bring out all the major awards?

The Golden Globes and SAGs don't do this.
