TDK not getting nominated was the first time I really was seriously bothered. It didn't get the nomination because it was a CBM, end of discussion.

Donald Trump is president, if you honestly don't expect political speeches from Hollywood as a response and that bothers you, probably not the best night to watch. I'm personally going to enjoy it. When you have a platform and say nothing that's a shame sometimes as well.

I disagree the Oscars are nowhere as a big deal when we were growing up.
Who is we? I'm 28 lol growing up is always an on going phase. They have never been that big of a deal but me & my parents/sisters will watch every year. So nothing has changed so far.

Oscars are growing increasingly irrelevant each year.
But they are still relevant.
I disagree because of social media and how many award shows there are... it's clearly a very profitable business no? Ratings are always huge despite many not knowing the films they are celebrating...

BTW I really enjoyed Kings Speech but seriously who will remember it in history over The Social Network? Not even that close which is a more powerful film.

I guess compared to real life it was accurate, but I still felt underwhelmed.
That's the point at the end of the movie, it's not supposed to be completely satisfying. When she's sitting on the plane figuring out where to go and what to do after its all over, it's sobering.

I thought it was perfect given how long it took in real life. They were in and out fast dude. The hunt is gripping, love all the supporting cast work.

Zero Dark Thirty was the best picture of 2012 imo, really biased but it's easily one of the best films of this decade so far.

I would much rather rewatch The Artist than The King's Speech, Argo, Birdman, or even Spotlight. It's a good fun movie.
Agree on all counts, Argo bothers me the most. What a joke of a win.

The Artist is a great flick, fuck the haters.

I generally really like him but I share the common sentiment that he cannot disappear into roles (and his best recent work, like Wolf of Wall Street, comes when his off-screen persona is incorporated/subverted in some way). In his age range alone guys like Joaquin Phoenix, Oscar Isaac, Shannon are far more impressive actors even without his resume.
Tough when your real life persona becomes much larger than life than the characters you are playing.

I've been phasing out of the awards shows over the last several years. Don't have much interest in watching tonight.
I'll probably just check Twitter later.
I bet it will be pretty boring outside of Kimmel & the usual political speeches. Not a lot of intrigue this year.

In fairness it is possible for Kubo to beat Zootopia. How sad would @cannastop be?

Dicaprio is always trying too hard. Never been wow'ed with any of his performances tbh.
Art is subjective but this is borderline trolling, guy is one of the best actors of our generation and I don't think there is anyone that close to him given his resume.

You can do one for Amy Adams now.
Not even close lol who cares AA hasn't gotten an AA yet? She's good but not even close to Leo's resume.

weird al tweets this every year and i don't think he's ever been wrong. notice he didn't pick on best actor though!
Highly unlikely he's wrong on that list, all are pretty much locks.

I think all categories look competitive this year. I still think Moonlight might shock the world. I would like that.
Moonlight has a chance, 18% or 6/1 to win BP. Not crazy but very unlikely.

I feel like Actress is really close too. Huppert has the support but Stone has the advantage of being in the Best Picture winner. I'm reminded of Jennifer Lawrence and Emmanuelle Riva (RIP) from four years ago where the young starlet eventually prevails. We shall see.
It's not close at all lol, Stone is 83% to win with Portman 2nd at 9%, Hubbert 3rd at 7%.

I still think the Actors Oscars will go to Ali, Huppert, Denzel and Viola.
If you really think Huppert will win you should throw $10-$20 down on it. Could make nice bank if that upset is correct.

I think Stone is a bigger favorite than Ali, honestly. Which makes me sad, because I think Ali definitely deserves to win that award and I'm worried he won't, while Emma.....eh. (And I loved La La Land!)
They are both near locks, it would take a miracle for either to lose.

I'd like to think Suicide Squad in Makeup? Everyone's got their money on Star Trek because it isn't too obscure (A Man Called Ove) or too poorly-reviewed (Squad) but this is one of the few categories that's forgiving to bad movies.
A Man Called Ove could steal makeup as well, they are long shots but combined the 2 have a 29% chance vs 71% for ST. It's possible for sure.

no. if i was ballsier i'd say that Hell or High Water is winning screenplay or dev patel is winning supporting actor. got a feeling about those two.
Betting odds are usually a great indicator, this year has mostly lopsided races. Who will be this year's Ex Machina for Visual Effects? A movie that stuns both the bookies and prognosticators.

Anyone got any big upsets in their predictions?

Decent Saturday bump for Get Out and really nice but expected for Lego Batman, JW2.
I'll probably just check Twitter later.

Yeah that's right guys, The Reader and Frost Nixon were better films than TDK. Milk & Benjamin Button. Lmao. Come on Academy you were a JOKE. Not to mention no Nolan nomination either.
