Told y'all Deakins wasn't winning.

 

[ari]

Life of Pi should not have won cinematography. It SHOULD have won VFX, which it just did.

Do you know what cinematography is? That camera work was spectacularly done in that movie.

 

[brianjones]

The Sonic drowning music would work well too

omg yes

 

[The_Joker]

Anyone got a link to a stream?

[ViewtifulJC]

So Brave won and Deakins lost to a CG movie

fuck it man, QT better win Screenplay

 

[Vyrance]

Cut him off at the worst possible time, lol

 

[bearythebear]

An integral component of filmmaking is imploding and mic cutoff. Classic Hollywood.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Life of Pi was amazing.
Please no backlash GAF.
Please.

It nearly made me sick haha

They stuck me right at the front, I had to keep going out and in till I was in a cormfortable position at the bar ina corner

Stunning film in every way, seemed to swap in & out of 3D for me though! Watched most of it without the glasses. Skyfall better get some respect for managing it in 2D ...

 

[GhostWriter24]

Hollywood treats their people like that.

Bro, it's a timed, live telecast.

He knows you only get 30 seconds to do your thing. Tough shit.

 

[yankeeforever2]

It's really selfish to be pushing agendas up there. Sit the fuck down.

Yeah he should take the award and go to the unemployment line like a man!

 

[Wickerman]

The Sonic drowning music would work well too

I would die from laughter if that happened

 

[Zeliard]

Using the Jaws theme to play someone off the stage is kind of hilarious.

 

[t-ramp]

Wow, that wasn't nice but it was funny. Seriously, when the music starts playing, get to the fucking point.

 

[JCizzle]

Cutting him off just because he was about to talk about the industry.

No, i think it was because his time was up. Should have said it first and he would have been able to.

 

[Htown]

Dude should have gone into it first if it was important to him, not after 45 seconds up there.

It's like a ten hour show, they can't give the actual award winners more than 60 seconds?

How bout they cut out some of the other extraneous bullshit instead?

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

So Brave won and Deakins lost to a CG movie

fuck it man, QT better win Screenplay

He will. Mark my words.

 

[DrEvil]

I guarantee you jaws won't be the only playoff music. I bet it'll be all from horror and thriller films. I fully expect PSYCHO to be one of them.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Bro, it's a timed, live telecast.

He knows you only get 30 seconds to do your thing. Tough shit.

You really wanna see more bits like the one with Paul Rudd? Let the man speak.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Only thing that was really missing was Seth holding a wrap it up box.

 

[-Kees-]

You really can't give those guys 30 more seconds? fuck you.

But song and dance and Seth McFarland jokes!

 

[Kud Dukan]

Considering that THIS is going on outside the Oscars tonight, that was a dick move to play them off like that.

 

[gutter_trash]

It's really selfish to be pushing agendas up there. Sit the fuck down.

yeah people who worked on the movie get laid off yeah

 

[fleck0]

Lol at jaws theme. Are the oscars going to become awesome?

 

[EvilDick34]

Can't believe people are mad about the cut off music. Dude was just going on and on and on and on, he deserved the jaws theme.

Thank you!

 

[British Monsoon]

Robert Downey Jr gets to talk for five minutes and that guy gets cut off after twenty seconds

And after Downey spewed a line about giving visual effects its proper due, too. Just let the dude talk!

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Christ, I still can't believe Brave won an Oscar.

I love Pixar, but damn. What bullshit.

Not even Disney Pixar believes what just happened.

Rich Moore has been snubbed.

 

[SlowRevolution]

It's like a ten hour show, they can't give the actual award winners more than 60 seconds?

How bout they cut out some of the other extraneous bullshit instead?

no we need three minutes of funny banter first

 

[Doctor West]

That was fucking brutal. What a D-bag move to cut him off like that.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

what was the joke?

Basically that the N-word filled script of Django Unchained was based on Gibsons voicemails.

The guy has made a lot of douchey mistakes over the last few years, but he's still a freaking legend. That joke wouldn't have been funny if Mel was in attendance, but I'm starting to wonder if he's even welcome at these kinds of events these days.

 

[acksman]

Do a 5 min song about Boobs, but 30 seconds about something besides Boobs.. Jaws

 

[JABEE]

Bro, it's a timed, live telecast.

He knows you only get 30 seconds to do your thing. Tough shit.

Using the Jaws score is kind of messed up though. They usually use tinkly symphonies. Imagine Cuba Gooding Jr's moment being played off by Jaws.

 

[789shadow]

In this thread, we complain about people being cut off, and also about how the Oscars is 5 hours.


And yes I'm fully aware that over-long speeches are probably a tiny amount of that runtime.

 

[JCizzle]

It's like a ten hour show, they can't give the actual award winners more than 60 seconds?

How bout they cut out some of the other extraneous bullshit instead?

I agree, but if this guy knows that he has 30 seconds or however long it is, don't jump into that after 40 seconds.

 

[TangMeng]

The Sonic drowning music would work well too

This would be incredible

Make it happen Oscars!

 

[DerZuhälter]

Do you know what cinematography is? That camera work was spectacularly done in that movie.

Have you seen Anna? That was spectacular.

 

[jtb]

Incredibly dick move to cut off the visual effects guys like that. esp when you consider he was about to talk about the financial difficulties

 

[iamblades]

It's like a ten hour show, they can't give the actual award winners more than 60 seconds?

How bout they cut out some of the other extraneous bullshit instead?

Because the extraneous bullshit is theoretically the reason people watch. No one wants to see a winner give a 10 minute speech thanking everyone down to the person who got them coffee on the set.

 

[Quick]

Considering that THIS is going on outside the Oscars tonight, that was a dick move to play them off like that.

Worst possible time to get played off, yeah. Damn.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Really they may have done the strikers a favor by showing that VFX gets no respect.

 

[rinse82]

Anniston looking old as fuck

 

[Row]

brad pitt done fucked up

 

[Sapiens]

Haha, RDJ is laughing it up with hookers, booze and drugs in his 40 million dollar home while the special effects companies that made his films possible are floundering.

Fuckkin Hollywood.

 

[Tapiozona]

If it was so important for him to preach about the injustice of the movie and special effects industries then maybe he should have started with that rather than thanking his parents and friends.

 

[fleck0]

I can't wait until they play someone off with yakkity-sax

 

[Technosteve]

she hasn't age well

 

[Salvadora]

Deakins was robbed.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Rhythm n Hues, a VFX house that worked on Life of Pie got closed down (bankruptcy)

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/life-pi-house-rhythm-hues-422482

Oh wow, they were a fairly important vfx studio over the times.

 

[Jimothy]

Anna K. deserves this one.
