Despite this screw-up coloring the entire show, I enjoyed the show (Kimmel was a very good host) and the winners are very satisfying, especially the acting winners. Say what you will about Casey Affleck as a person, but how can you not be happy about Emma Stone, Viola Davis, and Mahershala Ali joining the class of Oscar-winning actors?

Emma Stone was one of my young actress triple threats. So glad she won. So that's 2 of them Oscar winners now. Still waiting for Jessica to get one.

Viola Davis was way overdue. She should have won for Doubt imo. 

 

What does Amy Adams have to do to get an Oscar? Poor woman.

Another famous envelope gaffe

I probably don't even want to know what the Awards Daily forums are like right now.

I really wanted Huppert to win. I figured Stone will have plenty more chances.

Luckily for Huppert, she still has 15-20 more years left in her so the recognition here should allow more doors to open for her. This isn't like Emmanuelle Riva, who was very old and frail and close to the end of her story (which has now finished, of course).

Seriously though, I would love if Jimmy Kimmel could host the oscars again next year.

 

He's the best host they've had in years

Jessica Chastain, I assume? I actually thought she would win an Oscar before Emma or Brie did, but her "slump" (which all actors face) came sooner than expected. She still has plenty of time to catch up, though.

So sad for the La La Land team, what they went through must have been horrible.

 

And yup, this is just a stupid over the top course correction for #OscarSoWhite, @OscarSoStraight, @AmericaSoTrump, @AmericaSoRepublican, etc. etc. etc.

 

You won't convince me that 70yo white male basics voted for Moonlight out of love for its cinematic mastery.

 

Half of them (let s say at least 1/3) probably didn't see the movie entirely or at all.

 

This win was 90% political and 10% artistic.

 

Plus, nobody saw Moonlight among the GA.

 

(One of the) Lowest grossing best picture winner ever.

 

Your racism is showing, sis.

 

You all cannot let Black people win something without diminishing it a case of feeling sorry, out of pity, etc.

 

Truly ugly.

Director of Moonlight. Again, classy.

Moonlight is already being forgotten. Good. Burn this whole thing down. It'll be the most forgotten movie to win BP this decade.

"Moonlights win was purely political. It had no artistic merit"

Gave myself a new title because of my new Gold member bling.

Fake reviews

 

White guilt votes

 

The movie clearly had no merits except for AA

This kind of knee jerk reaction is a problem having a problem with one film winning is not racist just because the film is a black film. I loved 12 years a slave and was happy it won and I hated crash and rather brokeback mountain won but in this context Moonlight seems to be a forced winner to fit a narrative

Really wish Jessica had won by now, sigh.

 

And what do you mean by slump, sis? The lack of hits and roles after slaying for a while?

Yep. Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone. I wasn't checking for Brie at all.
