The Revenant will likely always be remembered as "the movie where Leo finally won his Oscar," if nothing else.

 

No, it's the "raped by a bear" meme

Not saying it's a better movie, but a well-made modern musical with 2 extremely likable leads will be a very popular date night movie for a long time. Not to mention its commercial success.

 

You might be right. On the other hand, without getting into spoilers too much, the ending may not be a perfect thing for date night.

I'm sure in 2000, people thought American Beauty would stand the test of time. Now, people are calling it outdated.

 

It takes a truly extraordinary, once in a lifetime film to have prolonged appeal. And we won't know it until way down the future...

Hey, to the extent I follow basketball at all, I'm a Dubs fan!

I'm honestly surprised Kimmel didn't blame Damon for it on stage.

 

Steve Harvey works I guess.

Man craziest shit I've ever seen. Awful. Poor Warren Beatty taking all the heat for Faye.

 

I think he kinda passed the buck to her, though. He didn't know what to do so he just gave it to her. Whoops.  

 

Fortunately they're both legendary Hollywood royalty so they can weather this particular storm without too much damage.

Dat sale

 

Thank you Tele for messing up your prediction 

 

What a night

American Beauty is still a great movie IMO. It gets a lot of flack for spawning so many imitators that weren't anywhere nearly as effective, though.

Did anybody here make a fake Oscars joke yet?

I trust that humanity will realize that Singin' in the Rain farts on LLL lol

 

 

There are honestly many classic musicals that make anything from the last fifty years look like shit. Current filmmakers are lucky that their efforts aren't judged by comparing them to films from previous decades.

Hey!  I liked 'em back in the Chris Mullen days!

 

I just don't follow basketball that closely, compared to football and baseball.

To be fair, this is the most anyone's talked about them in years. Her most recent movie was The Bye Bye Man (how the mighty have fallen) and his was the miserable megaflop Rules Don't Apply.

I only first watched AB completely a year ago. Part of it may be that I'm a sucker for Thomas Newman, though.

How can movies that barely nobody saw can be remembered if these movies were only seen by a tiny cinephile elite that love to suck each other s cocks with their perfect movie tastes ?

 

What is the point in that ?

 

 

 

 

What? I didn't know we were sucking each other's cocks.

I've only seen LA LA LAND, ARRIVAL and HACKSAW RIDGE. I thought HACKSAW RIDGE was the best among the three. I want to see the other nominees.
