Ha ha, fight the power? Oh man.

 

[kinggroin]

Spotlight was great, and had a great story to tell.


Mad Max was the better film overall. Why? Because.

 

[xam3l]

At least Mad Max wasn't robbed to the Revenant. uff!

 

[TheOctodad]

Man they're really trying to make up for the "whitewashed" accusations aren't they?

I mean, I agree. But it felt like they were trying to cram it in to every spot other than the nominations to make up for their mistake.

 

[PlatypusDude]

Anyone calling Spotlight an upset were not following odds and predictions. It was always a three way race between The Revenant, Spotlight, and The Big Short.

Well deserved for Spotlight though of the 5 nominees I had seen it was the best one imo.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Only reason it was good was because of Chris Rock

 

[BkMogul]

Spotlight was a competent and well-made film. Tackled some controversy (although 12 Years a Slave did win as well) but I'm not surprised it beat out a favorite.

 

[Discotheque]

Fight the power lmaoooo

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Great night. A lot of surprises and Chris Rock did a fantastic job. I would love a gif of Michael Keaton with a girl scout cookie in his mouth shaking hands with Chris.

 

[JigglesBunny]

The hip hop in the credits is just insultingly on the nose and patronizing.

 

[Chuck]

where's the keaton fuck yeah gif

 

[Link]

Munn gettin' dem cookies.

 

[Jarmel]

Yea I think that was Miller's last serious shot at Best Director.

 

[vinnygambini]

Just realised, Leo didn't even mention Kate Winslet.

How dare he

 

[Dr.Acula]

Ha ha, fight the power? Oh man.

Kinda like salt in the wound.

 

[Archaix]

Leo going to disappear like Cuba Gooding Jr. did now.

But he just won for the dark and gritty Snow Dogs reboot, this is a completely different trajectory.

 

[andythinkpad]

.

Leo winning dampens my mood though, I liked him better when he was a meme

Yeah, but Morricone won. So it was not a total lost.

 

[Tagyhag]

That BLM shoutout was great, now to see how Twitter is doing!

 

[MIMIC]

Nice closing song.

 

[Infernostew]

By the way other award programs were going I would've had Spotlight as #3 contender behind The Revenant (#1) and The Big Short (#2). Good film but somewhere in the middle of the films nominated.

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

And old meme dies, a new one begins:

IT IS BORN

 

[Timbuktu]

So the collective parts of a movie mean nothing?

Best director, best actor
And all the awards for mad max

...does not compute

Screenplay is a big part . And Spotlight had great acting, just an ensemble performance and there really should be an award for that.

 

[MHWilliams]

A shout out to Morgan Freeman, who tore open those Girl Scout cookies, took one, and left the stage immediately.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

 

[Kraftwerk]

 

[ColdPizza]

What a fucking perfect closing song.

 

[LiK]

best Oscars in a while. Chris Rock was excellent and the comedians presenting were a good choice.

 

[nib95]

I actually really enjoyed this Oscars. Great entertainment, risky content, overall decent winners, and even some nice surprises. And yes, finally Leo!

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Chris Rock totally controlled the music tonight didn't he?

 

[Kinyou]

Holy shit. They're playing Public Enemy over the credits. I love it.

It's funny how the show was more about people of color than ever before


...well aside from the nominees and winners.

 

[Snaku]

Another Best Picture winner nobody will remember in a year, and will be featured in articles about forgotten winners in a few years. Max will live forever on the fury road, and nobody will forget that journey. Miller got robbed. Maybe they should have made a bigger deal about how hard it was to shoot in the heat of Africa.

 

[Salsa]

leo confirmed a hack when he wins next year

 

[FZZ]

Cmon guys the internet will find a way to make Leo getting his first Oscar a meme

I give it two hours tops

And old meme dies, a new one begins:

.

 

[FTF]

Overall 2015 was a pretty amazing year for movies.

 

[Agent Unknown]

Chris Rock did a great job overall.

I get people wanting George Miller to win but why all the Inarritu hate?

 

[Baroquemantic]

This just goes to show 2015 was a shit year for quality films.

Nah. It more shows your bad taste.

 

[davepoobond]

People who hate mad max should have wanted it to win because now we will always talk about how mad max should have won, and it should have.

 

[Syf]

Really good show overall, wish Miller had won for directing but that's my only disappointment really.

Well aside from the death of a perfectly good category of memes thanks to Leo.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Man they're really trying to make up for the "whitewashed" accusations aren't they?

I mean, I agree. But it felt like they were trying to cram it in to every spot other than the nominations to make up for their mistake.

Well everyone here seems to be eating it up so their efforts weren't wasted.

 

[RowdyReverb]

The hip hop in the credits is just insultingly on the nose and patronizing.

Don't you know? That was the theme of toight's show

 

[smokeymicpot]

where's the keaton fuck yeah gif

Need that and the stare down with Chris Rock at the end.

 

[Flip4k]

Wait. People legit though mad max would win?

 

[RangersFan]

Spotlight still a better winner than Crash

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

The hip hop in the credits is just insultingly on the nose and patronizing.

Kinda weird song given its the Oscars that were being accused of being racist.

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

Bonus points to Leo for speaking about climate change.

 

[Jarmel]

Damn they're playing Public Enemy for the credits song.

 

[zethren]

I knooooooow, when I saw that....

He earned that shit.

 

[usp84]

Whos that? Kate Winslet?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Who cares about best picture? Leo the gawd won.

Yup, should have saved that for last

 

[Shizuka]

I was just cheering for Brie Larson, so I'm happy.
