87TH ACADEMY AWARDS CEREMONY DISCUSSION THREAD AAAHHH! | Discuss It Live Here

[Sam]

Last year there was a distinct buzz surrounding the ceremony.  It just seems that no one really wants to be here, lol. Did they put something in the water? LOL

Sounds appropriately fitting with the state of BO of 2014.

[KDS]

Ellar Coltrane is very emotional tonight. Good for him.

[AJG]

It's just Best Animated Picture, people need to chillax

But Dragons 2 and Lego were sooooo much better.

BH6 felt like I was watching one of those Free Spiderman tie in comics you would get at a shoe store, come to life.

[ecstasy]

I have the magic number now: 9/11

 

Why is Idris Elba handing out awards? Does the host (NPH) not have this job?

 

LOL No. They have presenters.

[Avatree]

His job is to announce the announcers and run around in his underwear

So do different actors/directors hand out different awards?

 

 

LOL No. They have presenters.

Then what's the point of the host?

Yep, mostly actors

 

And the point is to waste time between awards, apparently

[AndyLL]

No surprised. Disney winning short... animation...

 

 

Disney's only won Best Animation twice and the short twice.

There really is something off this year.  You nailed it.  I don't think anyone there truly gives a shit.  There's no energy, nothing.  I'm bored stiff.  Seriously, we need a streaker or something.

 

I think NPH tried that already, lol.

[Empire]

Time for sadness.

[eddyxx]

All these commercials for ABC shows and not a single one yet for Agents of SHIELD which comes back in like a week.

[Fancyarcher]

The memorial tribute.

To announce the presenters and tell lame jokes.

Sounds like a stupid awards show  I guess they have to stretch it out as long as possible to get more adverts in.
