Mediocre!

I love The Revenant, but directing is not an award it shoulda won. way too heavy handed on the dream/ghost vision part. Miller should won this!

 

[brau]

When I saw this, I saw blood. Fuck that guy.

i need context for this haha. bad blood?

 

[SalvaPot]

So that is his second directing Oscar in a row, right? Does this happen often?

 

[AgentOtaku]

My hope is this is splitting the difference with Max Mad, and it takes best picture. Won't happen, but I can hope for a few more minutes anyway.

Revenant did not deserve best director, not with Fury Road out this year. Not any year, really.

Precisely

 

[JTripper]

Leo's seat is so wet right now

 

[Maintenance]

he is no longer the underdog

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

 

[rekameohs]

Aw. At least Birdman was great. Revanant? Eeehhh.

 

[friskykillface]

Leo's definitely not getting an Oscar after this wind-bag's speech.

I still believe they do last minute switches , Leo just lost by this guys long speech

 

[Maengun1]

Ugh, I follow Oscar politicking super closely so I knew this was going to happen, but actually watching it is so bleh. The Revenant was so mediocre and it was probably my LEAST favorite DiCaprio performance in the last decade :/

Poor Miller/Mad Max

 

[Naughty_Doge]

I'm Mexican and even I'm like fuck that dude. Miller deserved it more.

Same. I really dislike the mindset of a lot of my people who cheer for him just because he's Mexican.

 

[Smellycat]

They need to eff off with that music. He barely starting talking....

And it is kind of funny that with all this racist talk, a Mexican director has won 4 Academy awards in the last 2 years.

 

[Pop]

Mad Max was ok.

The love here for it is kind of borderline crazy.

 

[Playsage]

Lol at the salt level here

 

[Puck Beaverton]

he is no longer the underdog

I miss his earlier, funnier movies.

 

[Faddy]

Because Inarritu went over time the Academy have decided replaced Leonardo DiCaprio's name with Matt Damon.

 

[statuez]

fassbender is winning.

 

[Mestizo]

I love when gaf becomes salty, i'm fine with iñarritu

 

[Crono27]

Mad Max was ok.

The love here for it is kind of borderline crazy.

Agreed

 

[Sethista]

This is ok, but its ridiculous that the best technical movie in almoat every aspect does not have the best director.

Oscars be oscars

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Gives no fucks about the music lol

I like when it happens, especially if they screw up and give you a epic sounding play off music. It adds to it haha.

 

[LionPride]

It was completely out of the question before the night even began.

Ooh, someome with common sense about this whole thing

 

[msdstc]

Like titanic and the departed?

He wasn't nominated for either of those.

 

[nortonff]

Both Inarritu and Miller deserved. The Revenant direction is flawless. Light work is unbeliveble.

 

[Xion385]

LETS GO BRIE! I LOVE YOUR BLOG!

Spoiler

But, I'm preparing my heart for a Blanchett swerve...

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Leo is like 10 minutes away from being MJcryface.jpg

 

[usp84]

Mad Max was ok.

The love here for it is kind of borderline crazy.

Correct

 

[Eighty Deuce]

 

[Vyer]

these Kohls commercials have worn out their welcome now

 

[marrec]

Mad Max was ok.

The love here for it is kind of borderline crazy.

I mean, it's not just loved here.

 

[shira]

The fuck? Why do we need another break?

Leo rehearsing his reaction after gif

 

[Cormano]

He even turned his speech into a long cut

Well done sir.

 

[FTF]

Leo's seat is so wet right now

He's never sweated more in his life.

 

[VaultBoy101]

Trivia time: Alejandro González Iñárritu is the first person to win back-to-back Best Director Oscars since Joseph L. Mankiewicz in 1949 and 1950.

 

[jooso]

Lol chill man

I just want to sleep 6.40 am here

 

[lastflowers]

I still believe they do last minute switches , Leo just lost by this guys long speech

haha, it would be so petty and would make for such a great article in like fifteen years.

 

[SictorVullivan]

Cranston will win it in place of Leo. GAF will burn.

Spoiler

Come on Leo

 

[Discotheque]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck

 

[LycanXIII]

Kathryn Bigelow won Best Director for Hurt Locker.

Beat out ex-husband James Cameron for it that year too.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Man, Mad Max (Miller) deserved the best director. Dude has been putting together this movie for 10 years and made everyone go through this arduous journey for his vision.

But come on man. Revenant was so hard to make. Haven't you heard? Leo ACTUALLY at liver man. It was so hard.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

I'm not a fan of Iñárritu's movies in general but where did this hate for him came from?

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

If Leo wins, he's getting a 5 minute applause for sure.

 

[thecouncil]

Fast forward to when they have to make up for it in the future:

"And the Best Director is... George Miller for Happy Feet 3!"

 

[QuantumZebra]

I'm here to add to the Salt Lake.

Miller was/is robbed.

 

[Kindekuma]

Leo's head right now

 

[SuperAndroid17]

Mad Max was ok.

The love here for it is kind of borderline crazy.

It really is.

Revenant easily shits on it though.

 

[RustyNails]

cmon leo you can do it!!!!!!!

 

[ColdPizza]

Leo is like 10 minutes away from being MJcryface.jpg

This is going to be amazing.

 

[hawk2025]

I want a BIG PIECE, I want the FROSTING!

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

February 28th 2016 marks the day the Leo Oscar meme died. RIP Leo Oscar memes.

 

[nib95]

I'm legit nervous for Leo right now, and the award isn't even up yet.
