shocker

 

[FTF]

I mean how was La La Land not winning that.

 

[JTripper]

"but the songs in La La Land weren't even good!"

 

[TWrecks310]

Jackie was snubbed but no one will say anything

 

[Dangansona]

Ok La La Land deserves that for sure. Doesn't seem like an exciting year for scores. Like the sound of Moonlight's though.

 

[MThanded]

ryan gosling's sister

 

[Arc]

LA LA Land stay winning

 

[Phoenix RISING]

Sam needs to win a Oscar before he retires

After Negotiator, it will never happen.

 

[MIMIC]

LOL didn't he already say that?

 

[Grenouille]

Moonlight had a great score

 

[jack_package_200]

La La Land hate aside, Justin earned this award. His score was amazing.

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

I liked lalaland.....

 

[LionPride]

La la land fans vs people with different taste is amazing.


La la land going to win original score huh

It's fine when people give reason beyond "It's Hollywood sucking it's own dick" or "It's pretentious"

 

[Not]

The Oscar it really, really deserves. Congrats.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

I knew it wasn't gonna win, but I really, really liked Moonlight's score.

And Jackie's.

I think my biggest problem with La La Land really was the fact the music in the musical wasn't all that memorable.

Yep. It wouldn't be my first or 5th pick for best score.

 

[TheFlow]

Jackie should have won but nobody watched that :|

 

[TheAbsolution]

I mean, This might as well have been the La La Land category featuring some other movies lol.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

I liked lalaland.....

Me too

 

[Clydefrog]

My wife!

 

[Mix Master]

A non-nolan capefilm winning top oscars. Lol.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I can't wait for L3 to get best picture out of spite, sheesh. Though Moonlight works too.

 

[stupei]

I think it's balance on her chest. Cause her boobs are huge

No, it means she's pale. That's what white balance is.

I am talking about la la land

I know. I'm saying that Sing Street's lack of success disproves the suggestion that La La Land is so hyped solely because people love movie musicals with good music and characters.

 

[Oozer3993]

lol Sam Jackson did not look happy about La La Land winning.

Everyone ready for Moana to get screwed?

 

[Galactic Specter]

a Black Panther sweep would be amazing

No it wouldn't.

No capeshit sweep would

 

[JABEE]

She doesn't sound pleased

 

[duckroll]

haha chill out. It's a light hearted love story about people who do everything to follow their dreams. How can you hate on that?

It wasted my time.

 

[SaniOYOYOY]

my man Justin Hurwitz, such class

 

[Shizuka]

Pls Audition should win.

 

[Cormano]

After Negotiator, it will never happen.

He'll get an achievement Oscar similar to Jackie Chan.

 

[manzoman96]

Scarlett's hair is ace.

 

[RastaMentality]

Jackie had the best score. done by a 29 year old woman too. phenomenal shit.

 

[MThanded]

I think it's balance on her chest. Cause her boobs are huge

No because she's pale.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Hey, it's Black Widow.

 

[MHWilliams]

Yeah, Sam Jackson looked unhappy at La La Land's win.

Thus begins the rise. Like I said, earlier was to keep people happy.

 

[broncobuster]

Can't tell if she's being sarcastic...?

 

[shwimpy]

im so excited..... blah blah blah

 

[Chumley]

Birdman's was solid, but no better than any of the other nominees even with its "one continuous shot" gimmick. Ida was a much bigger accomplishment in cinematography.

The Revenant's cinematography was great, but "revolutionary"? How? But you know what? I can't hate on that win. I was more blown away by Mad Max's, but I'm not going to pretend that it was unequivocally better than The Revenant's.

I'm just happy to see someone else win this year. The New World and Children of Men are probably the best films he's shot, which didn't win in their respective years, curiously enough.

I'd go into detail about it if I wasn't on mobile, but in Rev he pulls off camera moves that have literally never been done before in natural locations. Not just a work of technical genius, but creative genius (breath on the lens, integration of cgi, etc). Maybe the average viewer doesn't notice it all but I'm a dp and it's easily the best looking film I've ever seen.

 

[MetatronM]

This is basically the "did La La Land split the vote?" category.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Come on jt.

 

[thefro]

This one will be interesting with 2 La La Land songs splitting the vote and Hamilton being over big with the crowd.

 

[NYR]

WAIT

IS THAT GUY IN FRONT THE GUY FROM =3!?

No

 

[ColdPizza]

Scarlett seemed utterly disinterested

 

[nny]

Major Kusanagi.

 

[Not]

I think my biggest problem with La La Land really was the fact the music in the musical wasn't all that memorable.

It's a big grower. Have you listened to the soundtrack more than once?

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Sam Jackson with his twisted face walking off. Then dont agree to be a presenter crabby.

 

[Kacar]

La La Land was one of my favorites movies. definitely my favorite of the year, arrival was close though.

The OST of la la land is a great listen, have probably listened to it at least 20 times.

 

[cj_iwakura]

City of Stars .

 

[Fancyarcher]

I think it's better to downplay La La Land than play it up.

Once you hear everyone say it's the best film of the year, you watch it and say "That's it?"

Most people who saw it when it opened were like "Wow a musical that's good OMG GREAT THIS IS AMAZING OMG." without thinking of the fact that the movie does have some weaknesses. It's not a new American classic.

And I thought it was terrific personally. Everyone has a different opinion after all.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Johansson looks the opposite of excited lol

 

[Mix Master]

Even presenting Scarlett sounds wooden.
