i didn't see him get up.

 

Then for him to die he would of had to shatter every bone in his body, rupture the heart and then have an aneurysm or something.  Possible, I guess.

They still haven't announced what order the categories will be announced in. Will it be the same as last year?

BP and Best Actress. And BP is really "anything but LLL".  

If Moonlight wins (given that's the only alternative) would it be as big of an upset as Crash?

Thanks. A quick google search didn't help.

Mentioning Crash is just poisoning the well in all Oscar discussions.

Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight are the only threats to La La Land. Honestly, it'd be happy with any of these three going home with the award.

 

Emma Roberts' dress, yeesh. Wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

lmao they just showed a Life TV spot. I'll see it but I'm expecting it to be stupid as hell.

 

Yeah, it looks baaaaaaaad.

jackman's opening number is one of the only times i've actually enjoyed a performance at the oscars. his The Reader bit reflects everyone here's thoughts on it. still crack up at that.

 

 

"I'M WOLVERINEEEE" still kills me every time. I haven't seen a better Oscar host, that's for sure.

 

No wonder they want him back.

Oh, I think it'd be much bigger. There was a lot of uncertainty about whether BROKEBACK was just too, well, gay, for the Academy.

Manchester By the Sea is actually a slight betting underdog vs Hidden Figures so aka no chance. Moonlight looks to be about 5/1 to win. Spotlight was 3/1 last year if I remember correctly.

Hoping La La Land can dominate tonight! One of my favourite films I have seen in years <3

 

Such a strong BP line-up though, like/love all 9 nominees!

[cannastop]

2005 strikes me as a pretty bad year for movies.

 

I've never heard anyone just talk about Brokeback Mountain as a great movie, without mentioning an Oscar snub. And everyone shits on Crash.

[GiantCALBears]

Affleck vs Washington is a betting coin flip, I want everyone to say who they want/then who they think will win?

 

I'm going Washington/Washington.

[cannastop]

NGL, Emma Stone winning an Oscar for La La Land would be a slight disgrace.

[Cmasterclay]

2005 had Brokeback, Munich, Good Luck/Good Night, and Capote. That's 4/5 of pretty great Oscar noms, though I recognize none of those movies (except maybe Brokeback) is universally loved. It was a strong year for what I like, though.

A History of Violence should have swept. Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Screenplay. The fact that it was only nominated for two Oscars...

So much this! Great to see another huge HOV fan. One of my 15 favorite movies of the 21st century so far. Didn't even come close, sadly.

Dennis Villeneuve implied on french tv that Ridley Scott developped Blade Runner 2049  and was close to direct it but he couldn't do it because of his tight schedule so he chose Villeneuve to direct it.
