Ellie Coltrane's character should have ended up being in the film industry at the end of Boyhood... It probably would've won then.

Haha! I was watching Ethan Hawk... He wasn't applauding. What a disappointment, but hey, Boyhood was my favorite. Naomi Watts looks great though.

My hopes for Boyhood winning are so low now. I'm sad but content.

I got SO nervous!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know right?! It's taken me long enough. First time I've been legitimately angry.

I agree. I'm unfortunately finally losing faith in The Academy Awards

I'm officially heartbroken

Now my nerves are high. Hoping Boyhood wins one of the big 2.

Theory of Everything being shut out? Possibly best actor but not looking likely.

Theory Of Everything is winning Best Picture

Well crap. Boyhood is totally getting shut out. Besides SA.

The music is quite good. I'm glad Interstellar didn't win for Sound Mixing because they made the music too loud.

She sang on Good Morning America and sounded great.

Should've been a duet with Julie Andrews. Holy Shit there she is!!!

Yeah... A little surprising. We'll see if they "show up" with some of the bigger awards.

Looks like they're dispersing the Oscars to all the movies. Boyhood and Birdman are behind but hoping Boyhood can pull something out!

The mood... I agree!

My favorite part!!

Ellar Coltrane is very emotional tonight. Good for him.

I really wish that this film could have caught on. This film deserves to be watched. I'll be buying it on BluRay as soon as it comes out for sure.

The Impossible ReviewBack in 2004, a devastating tsunami hit Southeast Asia. I remember seeing images and video on the news and thinking that it was slightly scary and unbelievable but mostly I thought it looked cool. I used to wish that I could witness natural disasters first hand. I was 16 at the time and even to this day, myself and most of us feel that the news doesn't seem like reality, and we are emotionally numb to the situations that we see. Now that I am older and have a better understanding of emotions and culture, I wish to never experience a natural disaster.What was it like to be there when the tsunami hit? What did the locals and tourists go through? How many people were separated from family members, lost somebody they loved, or died? Were the people there helpful or was it utter chaos with everyone in an attitude of every man for himself? These questions are answered beautifully in the 2012 film The Impossible. The Impossible is a film based on a true story by Spanish Director Juan Antonio Bayona about a family vacationing in Thailand for Christmas when a tsunami hits and they are separated from each other. The story follows mother and son (Naomi Watts and Tom Holland) as they go through the tsunami, go through the devastation after the tsunami, and interact with those in the local hospital. We also follow the father and two younger sons (Ewan McGregor, Samuel Joslin and Oaklee Pendergast) as the father sends the younger sons to a safe shelter while he searches for the mother and oldest son. The Impossible is a movie about love. Love in its most absolute form. The love for family through any and all things. The love for strangers through the worst imaginable situations. The love for the injured and sick. And the love for those who have died. Through love comes hope and this movie is filled with hope. The films shining light is newcomer Tom Holland, who plays the oldest son Lucas. His character goes through a complete transformation from an awkward 12 year old boy to a courageous 30 year old in a 12 year olds body. This transformation is brought to the screen beautifully by some of the best acting I've seen in a young actor. His performance is real. He steals every scene that he is in, which seems like a tough task considering he shares the screen most of the film with Naomi Watts who gives the performance of her career here and has shot up in my list of favorite actresses. Her character goes through all kinds of hell in this film and you can feel every bit of it. Ewan McGregor also gives his best performance to date here and newcomers Samuel Joslin and Oaklee Pendergast are so great in there roles as well. The cast is superb. The realism in this film is top notch. I wasn't watching actors; I was watching a family experience and survive a tsunami. I wasn't watching a water tank with props; I was in the tsunami. I wasn't looking at makeup, prosthetics or costumes; I was looking at the real thing. I wasn't looking at sets but was looking at the real locations. Later, I found out that this film was shot in the same locations that the family stayed at while in Thailand and the actors stood where the family stood when the tsunami hit. It is that kind of realism that transports you from your world, to the world of the film. I wasn't in a movie theater; I was there.I would like to give two thumbs up to every department involved in the making of this film. The acting among ALL actors and extras was the best I've seen, great job actors and casting department. The screenplay was so well done, great job to the screen writer. Hats off goes to all of the visual departments including special effects, makeup, production design, cinematography and lighting departments. The score set every mood and tone perfectly and brought out every needed emotion without ever becoming over the top. But most of all, the film couldn't have been was it became without it's wonderful direction.I have never experienced a movie like The Impossible before. I have never been so engrossed in a story and its characters like I was watching this film. I have never felt the range of emotions throughout a movie as strongly as I did while watching this movie. I cried throughout the entire film and a good hour after it was over. Not because the film is sad, but because it fills you with such a range of emotions that you just break down. Even today, when I think about certain scenes, I tear up.This is both the saddest and happiest movie that I have ever seen. It is a nearly perfect movie. 10 out of 10, 5 stars, whichever rating system you prefer...You must see this movie.The Impossible achieved what I thought was impossible and became my favorite movie of 2012, as well as my favorite foreign film. But most of all The Impossible is my all-time favorite movie.
