Finally got to blast this through my surround sound, still amazing.

gaf doesn't always get it; also known as ''internet silly jokes'' which aren't really funny but might occasionally make people crack a smile.
"your sarcasm hurt them deeply because they'd tried so hard"
That's dishonest. Low.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Whew, really excited to see this film win the Oscar for Movie of the Year.
Hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll go insane.
looking forward to Witness that plus Leo annual tears.
gotta admit it was a bit weak.

Mad Max went 6 for 8 thus far at the Oscars.
Production Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Costume Design, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, and Editing.
It lost cinematography and visual effects.
I think it is safe to say its night has ended unless it pulls some serious dark horse shit to pull Best Director and Best Picture at this point.
Damn good run, and well deserved.

After Inarritu winning the DGA award, I think he will win director. Although I would love for Miller to win.

Yup. Even if it didn't win any of the major awards, it will still end the night with the most wins total. I think.
Max will ride through the wasteland with Millers oscar for Happy Feet2 in the next film, just as a flip off to the academy

The war rig crashed at the gate, too.
Got a lot of statues along the way though. That's a lot more than I thought back in May.

Seriously. Last February, who the hell legit thought that a Mad Max film would not only be nominated, but win multiple Oscars?

Shit, George seems the type that is happier that his crew won the awards and not him. Just amazing work from everyone involved, and the awards are well deserved.

Even if Mad Max didn't win Best Picture or Director, it will be the only Best Picture nominee we still talk about ten years later.
Just a feeling.
Time is the ultimate judge of all art, and time is going to very kind to Mad Max: Fury Road.

i feel the opposite. movies that rely completely on visuals rarely age well.

It's a good thing Fury Road doesn't rely on just visuals then.

Most of us predicted that Mad Max has a really good chance of sweeping the technical awards and it did! YAYAYA
Best director was the "sensible" choice. It had a really high probability of a win. Sucks that it didn't. Best picture was always a long shot. Overall I think the movie did pretty good by sweeping most of the awards.

The losses for Cinematography and Visual Effects made sense in the end. I never thought it would win Cinematography, but was holding out hope for visual effects. Although, I think the fact that most of the visual effects work was invisible hurt the awards chances, as odd as that sounds. The effects being nearly invisible is more impressive to me, but Ex Machina had some damn impressive work, and its win was well deserved.
The Best Director Oscar was a lost cause once the DGA awards came out though.
Chromed skins and suits? eeeeeeh.
I'd have understood a loss to TFA, but there's a reason betting markets had Ex Machina 82:1.

I'm happy as fuck it won best editing. Very very well deserved (as were all the other awards it won).

After tonight I feel like watching it again. Is it still on HBO?

There is quite a bit more going on than just chromed skins and suits here.
It is impressive work no matter what, and even more impressive considering the budget of the film ($15m).
The more important question is why you don't own it on DVD or Blu yet.

I was actually torn between Fury Road and Ex Machina for Best Visual Effects. Went with FR in the end. I had a feeling Star Wars wouldn't get it.

It'll age just fine. Lots of real stunts, doesn't rely too heavily on CGI.

Mad Max Fury Road won a half a dozen Oscars! Including Best Editing! This is dope

And a vast majority of the CGI in it was completely invisible to most people. The visuals will age very well. And the times the CGI starts to falter (the final part of the race back to the Citadel at the end), you are so caught up in the characters and the drama that the illusion breaking ever so slightly is not a problem at all.

Yes. But they can't give 8 Oscars to an action film and an aging director. Get with the program, maaaan.
Yeah not sure how anyone could be that disappointed with its results. 99% of fans would have signed up for winning the 6 oscars it did.
