You should still watch it. The ending is really done well.

Yeah I was really hyped to see it but my local IMAX never showed it so it fell off my radar. Kinda stupid reason looking back. I'm getting the 3D bluray steelbook soon. I still look forward to seeing it.

oh man the leo stuff is Oscar nominated worthy

 

[ConsumerSquare]

So what!?

Fuck yourself if this was a real spoiler. I managed to miss the photo.

Leo should have been nominated for Django too. Academy just hates him for some reason. He fucked someone's mother for sure and is paying the price.

I like Leo, but outside of Django and maybe Revolutionary Road, his performances the last few years have a predictability about them.

It was a three part speech; you missed the last two parts.

#12YearsASlave's #Oscars win makes it the first time a film by an African-American has won Best Picture in its entire 86-year history.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Spoiler

he's British

Why, because the camera didn't cut while two unemotional characters I don't care about were talking about stuff I care even less?

The word you are look for is subtly and pacing. It's a movie that has as much merit in its subject matter as it does in its precise, methodical execution.

Edit: It helps to have a bit of political context before going into the film. Just like 12YAS. It isn't necessary, but everything clicks much faster.

SO edgy.

Very solid year for movies and the Oscars. Ellen did a decent job and it was good to see the awards spread around a bit.

Kinda surprised about American Hustle not winning anything, but to honest I'm also sort of pleased. I enjoyed it plenty in the theater, just sort of forgot about it immediately after. Didn't really have much staying power.

I actually think Matthew McCoughany's performance was really amazing, but what was better than his performance? His acceptance speech. That was the best acceptance speech I ever saw on the Oscars.

Yeah, that was great.

 

[rexor0717]

Steve McQueen is on a role.

HE'S SO HOT RIGHT NOW!

I love everything about this post.

That wasn't even a butchering of Menzel's name, that was an entirely different name. But now you can watch it on a loop.

Doesn't sound as bad as it did on my TV first time aside from the last note was blown but that's has to be a bitch to belt out. She was clearly nervous as fuck probably while trying to figure out WTF Travolta said.

I love Adele Dazim!

BRAD PITT made that movie. Show some respect.

 

[Jburton]

who's better?? NOBODY has a better resume than Leo

I like Leo, loved Wolf of Wall Street but Daniel Day Lewis has a far better resume.

 

[criesofthepast]

Look at DiCaprio's filmography and tell me that isn't some of the best you've ever seen of our generation.

I can't feel too bad for him because he gets his pick to fuck any of the Victoria Secret models tonight but he still deserves an Oscar.

 

[Freyjadour]

If Richard Linklater had won, they would have nailed everything I wanted.

Word. Was hoping Midnight would get something.

Joaquin Phoenix has the game by the throat.

After Inherent Vice he's gonna stack up three straight years of god tier performances.

The year when Katy Perry wins a Grammy for "Best Pop Solo Performance" will be a bad year for pop music.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

How is that spoiler? lol. Steve McQueen, the director, is as British as it gets. The only mistake people make is between the director and the actor.

 

[daydream]

Please tell me how many science-fiction films have won best picture.

You expect me to follow your logic? They gave the Directing Oscar to Cuarón, so you're not going anywhere with this.

100% chance a white dude wrote that not wanting Black to sound offensive.

Jesus Christ I opned that Vine again and only just killed it. >_<

I think her in-ear monitor was messed up. Her timing was off, too. I'd wager production is at fault.

Could be, she put up a pic that looked like they were messing with it before she went on or just put it in without testing. Yeah it was, but I for me at least it sounded worse the first time were they other songs cut down?

yeah his speech and the one given by the Frozen couple were great.

MM Oscar for last year and pretty much a lock for an Emmy at the end of this year.

Matthew is prepping for the moment he goes over 9000 when Nolan's Interstellar releases.

Happy was definitely cut down. It's hard to imagine the U2 song being cut down, because that shit went on and on, but I can't speak with authority on that one.

Yay for Lubezki as well. He deserved it ages ago too.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

God damn people have been saving these up for years huh

I hope McQueen resumes work on his Fela Kuti biopic starring Chiwetel Ejiofor

It didn't seem to last as long for some reason.

I Love DDL, but he has a few more years under his belt.He also goes years and years without doing anything.

He also has 3 best actor trophies, which he deserved, but Leo should have won multiple times as well

 

[Nameless]

I'm surprised no one has made a Leo gif using the end of Romeo & Juliet.

 

[zma1013]

I think Leo's constantly smug face pisses the Academy off.

 

[Window]

I thought Ellen was a great host

Also, everyone I expected to win won, but I was still surprised by the Picture/Director split.

Agree on both points

 

[Community Forum]

I payed more attention to my tablet tonight vs. the actual telecast. Dat second screen experience.

 

[skynidas]

 

[Blader]

Yeah. As hard as it tried I couldn't connect to it emotionally. I blame Steve McQueen, I just do not fucking get this guy and his movies.

:lol

I never said anything about director, so I'm not sure how that's relevant, LOL.
