[The Futurist]

I don't find being mean, rude and swearing funny. It's kind of pathetic and childish.

I am not sure you understood the tone of the piece.

I have some good news for you....

[BK007]

I am not sure you understood the tone of the piece.

 

They are trying to be different, edgy, sarcastic, whatever. 

 

Just because we have articles that fawn over the Oscars and the race doesn't mean we need trifle like this on the other side. 

[BK007]

 

"GIF means I'm cool!"

 

Stay classy. Next. 

[BadAtGender]

Nice list, Blanks. I don't agree with your LEGO love, but it's cool.

[Goffe]

Carell definitely deserved his nomination, he was incredible in Foxcatcher.

 

seriously, the best actor has never been so competitive, all 5 performances are incredible,

He was great, but that was a supporting role...

[Ozymandias]

Omfg, apparently this $160,000 "Oscar swag bag" that they give away at the ceremony is real, you won't believe some of the shit in it... hilarious.

I'm not really excited for the Oscars this year, most of the BP nominees didn't impress me.

 

I loved Budapest Hotel, it's by far my favorite film this year, but I guess it's out of the run. I also really liked Boyhood, so I hope it wins over Birdman, at least in the Director category. The third film I liked was American Sniper, but even I don't think it deserves anything apart from sound categories. I didn't really care about the other 5, I actually was watching Selma right now, but I got fed up after 40min and gave up, I'm just not in the mood to see these films. I'm still gonna see Princess Kaguya and Nightcrawler, but not before the ceremony.

 

 

By the way, anyone thinks Budapest Hotel has a chance at winning Best Score? ToE had a great score, but it was over used in a very annoying way in the film.

[TalismanRing]

For everyone that complains that it's all the staid old people who are hurting the academy voting - read it an weep

I read that most don't accept it or only take certain things from it since they started having to pay taxes on all that swag even if they later gave it away to their maid.

Just a bunch of junk!

[Impact]

Well I will probably watch either Hotel or Birdman tomorrow.

 

Hoping Sniper can win more then just the sounds cats (though I also want Interstellar to win those, torn lol)

[MovieMan89]

One thing I'll say about tomorrow: if Birdman really can manage to win BP/BD then there's no way Keaton is losing.

[DAR]

I assume this thread will be used to talk about show? I'm more interested in our commentary than the actual show itself

[CoolioD1]

it's always a great night for getting lots of likes. I'm sure the show will be an awkward mess.

 

I guess we could use this thread, though usually we make a new thread for the ceremony. idk what everyone is feeling on this.

[DAR]

I'd be fine with either.
