Welp, gotta watch Budapest and Birdman now
Keaton deserved the Oscar simply based on his career, got robbed. Eddie already fucking up his career with that Jupiter shit.
Not winning an Oscar is one thing but Neil kinda lost his career this evening
Most reviews praised the actual quality of filmmaking. I can start linking you to reviews that go into depth more than the "12 years of filmmaking," but that won't matter. Everyone is focused on the "12 years of filmmaking" bit, so they'll focus on the few paragraphs in the review which talk about that segment, and present it as the whole.
Gimmicks don't carry you this far with subject matter as tame as Boyhood's.
It's also ridiculous that this hate for Boyhood has started to infect people's thoughts regarding movies like the Before Trilogy. If you want to hate a Linklater movie, look at Fast Food Nation.
Had already noticed it with other reviews, but yeah. Previous reviews made me learn a lot about their viewing habits, and made some of the opinions less worthy of consideration.
Half in the Bag is the most honest slice of film criticism circling the net.
Their review of Boyhood felt sincere to me. They did a complete breakdown of what it was about the film that didn't work for them, and how it didn't speak to them on any emotional or narrative level. I believe now they're simply making fun of themselves for being outliers.
Keaton did Jack Frost, if we're judging them both by their lowest points.

Superhero fans cracking jokes about Redmayne going full retard should probably feel a little sickened by how idiotic and pathetic they are.
No idea. I like his Before trilogy better, but Boyhood was a good film.
Guillermo needs to win to complete the Trinity.
Happy for Birdman, and wow Penn is a dick
lol i didn't watch the show but people acting like NPH career is over because he apparently "bombed" hosting this thing are being pretty silly
so you're saying it's a comedy show and not a review show?
because I think that reflects even worse on HITB than saying they're a review show.
So every movie nominated to Best Picture at least won something, right?
At least Boyhood was actually interesting and watchable unlike Before Sunrise.
The joke has been going strong for decades now for a reason.

I want to see the RedLetterMedia victory party.

Also, as good as Innaritu is, how does a guy who has a singular vision for over 12 years not win? Imagine having an idea and doing something 12 years ago and keeping that going.
Who is the fucking moron who decided to bring Sean Penn as the presenter for Best Picture?
The guy made a green card joke when presenting an award to a Mexican director. Feels like something out of Curb your Enthusiasm.
I couldn't be cringing more right now.
This is an A.O. Scott quote, who happens to be one of the most pompous critics out there.

Almost every speech was politicized somehow. I get its a big stage, but come on. I guess we're in the era where people just have to say what's bothering them or on their mind.

I'm mainly sad that Kaguya lost. That's Ghibli's last great film, for god's sake.
When you're calling Stephen Hawking a retard, the joke's on you, I'm afraid.

Having an idea is one thing, executing it is a different story. He deserved a nomination, but not a win.Almost every speech was politicized somehow. I get its a big stage, but come on. I guess we're in the era where people just have to say what's bothering them or on their mind.

Seriously, Hollywood loves to jerk itself off.Better to make a political statement than just give another masturbatory speech on how great Hollywood is.

Jack Frost is a harmless kid's film. Redmayne's Jupiter Ascending performance is being described as actively offensive in its awfulness.
