Holy shit, first upset of the night.

Not necessarily an upset. Waltz won all the other big awards, so he was technically the frontrunner.

 

[ari]

This dude should have won for the green hornet also......lol

 

[brianjones]

fuck yes

would have been cool with Hoffman too

 

[bud]

nicholson hahahaha

 

[Can Crusher]

Couldn't resist haha, look at this cheeky fucker

 

[RustyNails]

Jack nicholson wtf was that?.gif

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Need a gif of Nicholson's double-take there.

Also lol at playing Waltz off with the E.T theme

 

[slightconfuse]

so is this as much of a trainwreck as twitter is making it out to be?

 

[Plasmid]

Fuck yes waltz.

 

[cj_iwakura]

quentin looking extra slobby tonight

That's how he always goes.

 

[Quick]

GOTTA FIND THAT FOOOOOOL.

WHO DID THAT TO YOU.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

I love Christoph Waltz, but Samuel L. Jackson stole the show in Django Unchained. It's a travesty that he wasn't nominated.

Why bother. He's been snubbed plenty of times before.

 

[Meier]

Thrilled for Christoph! Almost changed my pick to him but stuck with TLJ just so I didn't jinx it.

 

[Technosteve]

he's won everyone's heart.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Should've been DiCaprio or Sam Jackson nominated. Waltz will do. Didn't expect it though.

This is the first time I've watched in years and it's only because of Seth, and he's delivered thus far.

 

[SilentSoldier]

Totally thought Jones was gonna take it, actually surprised.

 

[Oersted]

I want Waltz in more big movies, so give him that oscar to give him even more appreciation!

E: YES!

It never works that way...

 

[ViewtifulJC]

That ET music cue reminds me that it lost to fuckin' Ghandi in '82

 

[Wilbur]

WALLLLLLLLTTTTTTZZZZZZZZZ IIIIIII LLLOOOOVVEEEEEE YOUUUUUU

 

[Victory Red]

I concur. Both Sam and Leo should have won and been nominated before Christoph.

Wait what

 

[ari]

so is this as much of a trainwreck as twitter is making it out to be?

no

Wait what

Leo should have been nominated also.

 

[Officerrob]

As much love as QT's gonna get tonight.

He won't care, he said Waltz winning previously was one of the best moments of his life.

 

[mclem]

Out of interest, is there any particular reason that the Oscars are on a Sunday? It does strike me as a little odd given that it's a late-night shindig on an evening that's, well, a school night.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Need a gif of Nicholson's double-take there.

Also lol at playing Waltz off with the E.T theme

lol. noticed that. Like wtf?

 

[Reiko]

Yeah. WTF at the E.T. theme.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Great win for Waltz but I agree that was Sam Jackson's award. DiCaprio should have gotten a nom too.

 

[nny]

I'm not sure Nicholson knows where he is.

 

[ckohler]

Suddenly, the corpse of Jack Nicholson appears.

 

[Y2Kev]

so is this as much of a trainwreck as twitter is making it out to be?

I don't think it's that bad. Only had one kinda bad bit so far.

edit: The theme of the oscars tonight is music in film. So everybody should get played off to a classic movie tune.

 

[IHaveIce]

People think DiCaprio was better than Waltz in the movie?

Are you on drugs?

 

[JABEE]

Waltz was a lead actor, but his performance was still outstanding.

 

[lenovox1]

so is this as much of a trainwreck as twitter is making it out to be?

Kind of awkward, but that was done on purpose. Everything after the opening had been pretty slick so far. Granted, we're only about 5 minutes after the opening.

 

[bigosc2k]

I love Christoph Waltz, but Samuel L. Jackson stole the show in Django Unchained. It's a travesty that he wasn't nominated.

Yeah, sucks taht him and Gary Oldman will never win one.

 

[Blader]

Not necessarily an upset. Waltz won all the other big awards, so he was technically the frontrunner.

Didn't TLJ win at SAG awards though?

 

[cj_iwakura]

Great win for Waltz but I agree that was Sam Jackson's award. DiCaprio should have gotten a nom too.

Can you nominate twice from the same film in one category? I'd take Waltz over SLJ, easy.

 

[Mr. RHC]

I enjoyed Waltz a lot in D.Unchained! Congrats!

 

[DrEvil]

Anyone else watching on Bell Satellite have their feed drop for a sec? Seemed strange.

 

[PorcellainThrill]

Waltz is a really good actor and he played a really great role in Django Unchained.
It is however kinda unfair, as he clearly had a main role in DU.

 

[arts&crafts]

I concur. Both Sam and Leo should have won and been nominated before Christoph.

I disagree, but why was Waltz supporting instead of leading actor?

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Out of interest, is there any particular reason that the Oscars are on a Sunday? It does strike me as a little odd given that it's a late-night shindig on an evening that's, well, a school night.

Lol school night. Also people work the next day.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

So far better than the last two years.

 

[IISANDERII]

Now where's that Oscar predictions thread?

Also lol at playing Waltz off with the E.T theme

Is there a connection?

 

[jtb]

Can you nominate twice from the same film in one category? I'd take Waltz over SLJ, easy.

You can.

 

[tauroxd]

Woooooh! I'm happy because I wanted him to win he deserved it.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

I disagree, but why was Waltz supporting instead of leading actor?

Because Foxx was clearly the lead actor?

 

[789shadow]

Because Foxx was clearly the lead actor?

Only in the last 15 minutes.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Again E.T.

 

[brianjones]

You staying up for the best animated film or what

 

[jacobs34]

How can you not be happy for Christoph Waltz. Love that guy.

 

[Phire Phox]

Anyone got a link for a mobile stream?
