What the hell? SLJ and DiCaprio were even better, and I quite liked Waltz in it. I also thought Foxx was good. The movie is hardly boring, and has a few good performances.He's the only thing that made the film interesting.

Internet Movie Script Database, for one. Look around the web first and try to find out what scripts are truly considered great because the medium can be very "bare bones." It's not quite like reading a book, so don't expect that.
The first great screenplay I ever read was Pulp Fiction.
Depends at what point you want to read the screenplay. Most screenplays tend to be publicly available on the internet (and by publicly available, I mean you'll be able to find them with a simple Google search) once a film has released theatrically. Sometimes it takes a few months, but generally, once a film has released theatrically, its screenplay is sure to follow. If the film has been nominated for an Academy Award, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that its screenplay will be easily had. And for this, sites like Internet Movie Script Database, Simply Scripts, script-o-rama, mypdfscripts, etc. are some examples of such sites.
If you want to read a screenplay prior to a film's release (they can leak years before a film actually comes to fruition), you're going to have to have to have industry connections or join some kind of a script sharing group. Such scripts used to be readily available with a Google search, via file sharing sites like Mediafire, but studios have cracked down pretty heavily over the last few years. So the practice has been pushed more underground.
One of the things I found weird was Michelle Obama's appearance. I get that the Obamas are quite open to the media, but it still felt weird and out of place to me. And I think it would have been even weirder when Zero Dark Thirty had won.
Thanks.
Nah, it's just for fun. I looked up Django's script, and there are some cut scenes in it as far as I can tell.
Now I'm hoping for a Director's Cut. :lol
Well, I'm not sure why I should read the script of a movie I'm interested in before I see the movie.
Not entirely sure who those people were anyway. I'm guessing some kind of special guests (soldiers?) but they looked more like house staff. In fact, the more I think about it; the whole thing looked almost royal, lolIt was the girl behind looking at her like she was in love and smiling inanely that got me.

did the dark knight rises win anything then?
Hopefully after so many bad hosts in a row they bring back Jackman next year. If not him get NPH. And get the people who do the Tony Awards to produce it.

This please. I need a break from the musicals.The correct answer is Jon Stewart.
Do y'all typically read before or after the film? Any particular reasons for either way?A lot of people feel the same way, but there's a fairly big community for people who love to do it. A significant portion of them are aspiring screenwriters though. I personally love seeing the transition from screenplay to film, and despite what people say, it's no different than reading a book prior to a movie or television adaptation. I've experienced films with and without having read the screenplays to them, and my enjoyment for both avenues are fairly similar.
Wasn't even mentioned, IIRC.
It didn't need to be. It could have an award show all by itself. Besides, we all knew the greatness we were watching while in the theater. I mean I could feel it physically.
No good reason, probably studio bullshit or something. It ought to have got at least a few nominations despite flopping.Can someone explain to me why cloud atlas wasn't nominated for anything? It was possibly my favorite movie of the year.

she and Renée Zellweger must have the same dealerMy GF and I both thought Stewart looked coked out.
It bombed and got bad reviews.
(I quite liked it however)
So Argo was the deserved winner of Best Picture?
I didn't watch Oscars, and did seen many of the movies nominated.
dat sense of entitlement. Fuck, if I was the doorman, I would have let his friend in just to rub salt into his shitty ego wound.
Lulz. People who say shit like 'Last phonecall he'll ever take' get no sympathy from me.
Do you know who Ryan Kwanten is? His friend was the one doing all the talking, not Ryan hiself. .
lolol.
fucking actors thinking they're entitled to everything on the planet.
good on the bouncers.
I've never expected much out of the Oscars, but the way they treated Life of Pi's VFX team was utterly fucking classless.
My facebook is blowing up about the VFX snub. All my VFX artists are turning green (couple of lucas arts guys are putting up blue lol).
Pretty crappy when a movie you worked on grosses a billion dollars and your VFX studio has to shut down.
I thought that was a little hokey and cheesy.Argo was amazing. Deserved.
Could cut the tension with a knife in the finale.

How? They portrayed the Iranians dumber than the terrorists in True Lies. And it was porduced by the bad guy in True Lies.

My mom comes up to me and asks me if I liked "Argo" (she didn't watch the show and obviously got the news of Best Picture from the news).
I told her that it was overrated trash and one of the worst movies that I had ever seen and that I planned to boycott the Oscars (and ABC) because of how undeserving it was.
Nah, but seriously, I told her that she should definitely check it out
