88TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS Discussion Topic (LIVE! Today's discussion begins on pg 33)

[Chewy]

Half of these movies literally only get studio funding cuz they want those trophies, remember that next time you're ranting about how there should be 5 blockbusters in the BP category

[GiantCALBears]

Why even have an Oscars guys, let's just give all the awards to TFA & Inside Out. Problem solved.

You know if "See You Again" and that stupid "Flashlight" song had been nominated (you know they would've gotten Jessie J and not Anna Kendrick & Co.) they would've made time for the other two performances instead of cutting the two non-famous performers just because.

Jessie J's version of flashlight is so bad

And it's a symbiotic relationship. A lot of times you'll see movie Twitter and awards pundits complaining about blockbusters but the blockbusters are the only reason movie theaters still exist and we don't live in a Netflix world

The song just sucks. As in, the lyrics are the dumbest things ever.

 

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Can’t stop my heart when you shinin’ in my eyes
I can’t lie, it’s a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light

 

...like you gotta be freakin' shitting me.

I wonder how the Thank you scrolls will help tonight.  I like the idea, but need to see how it works out

That is why the schedule is turning into blockbusters every week.

would be funny if the technical team screws up and they run the wrong scrolls. like bryan cranston upsets in best actor but they accidentally run leo's thank you scroll anyway.

We live in a world where having bad lyrics is the cool thing to do
