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

[Nemeres]

I like NPH, but every time he starts a joke I get nervous about whether people will laugh.

[Fancyarcher]

The Academy Awards - 99% commercials, 1% awards.

Buy a lady a drink tonight everyone. 

[CoolioD1]

Boyhood won a lot of the previous awards in that category this year.

mostly among editors. whiplash won the bafta.

[Avatree]

Looking hopeful that Imitation Game will leave the ceremony empty-handed!

Birdman and Boyhood aren't exactly doing much so far.

Only upset outside of animation was editing so far man, can't really say they aren't performing yet. Most important two awards will go to either films in directing and picture.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Perhaps not, but I still think one or the other could win best picture / best director. However I'd be also pleased if GBH won best picture and director.

I would be so mad. 

[RichWS]

I'm definitely glad Whiplash is getting rewarded. It's a really great flick.

[Fancyarcher]

Lady Gaga?

It's 2015. Nobody cares anymore.

 

The academy members are geezers and a bit out of touch, so it's not surprising that she was asked to perform.

[CJohn]

Remember when Hugo sweep the shitty awards only to lose all the important ones to shitty Artist?

[Sam]

NPH has a charm that can make even lame jokes work.

His cuteness still works for me so far. I know it was lame and awkward as hell but he's just too cute.

[Blankments]

I'm only happy for BH6 because Lego wasn't nominated.

Honestly, even not liking Dragon 2 wouldn't keep me from rooting for it. First one was that good, especially with Big Hero 6 being the only competition

[GiantCALBears]

So Whiplash, Big Hero 6 are the two surprises right now.

[riczhang]

Better than Cooper/Cumberbatch/Carell

 

 

And Fiennes/Pilon/Gyllenhaal?

 

 

And there's more where this came from. 

[DAR]

I wish we got to see the voting breakdown of the BP nominees

I wouldn't really call animation an upset. I just don't think there was ever a clear winner between the films.

I read that as "it's a really great fuck" xD

Now that's not nice. Tech awards are pretty damn awesome.

Absolutely!!

And holy shit did I get nervous when Terrence Howard started with all the pauses in his presentation speech. Cause I've totally been there.
