real friend would let him keep the BluRays but shame him daily

 

That's the plan.

 

I don't think I wanna shine a black light on the steelbooks.

Britt Robertson starring in an ABC legal show now instead of playing love interest to kids 10 years younger than her?

 

A step up by stepping down.

 

Should have just gotten a Nolan movie gig. She could be the safely asexual female who gets exposited to.

[WrathOfHan]

Also, The Shape of Water is the first Picture winner I've actually seen in theaters (almost happened last year until Moonlight won). Let's see how long I can keep that streak up

They actually did a good job spreading the wealth this year. Only Lady Bird and The Post (though that was always a given) went home with nothing.

Lady Bird was probably second in too many categories. I think Supporting and Lead Actress for sure. Gerwig would have probably won Screenplay if not for Peele as well. It's a good movie but not enough of the Academy would latch onto it as most of them won't identify with the protagonist.

Did I miss the part where they came back out and said Call Me By Your Name won?

I'm glad it didn't win but it was a good movie.

[CoolioD1]

what do we say about this genre pedants of the forum? fantasy or sci fi?

[Cap]

The Shape of Water and Get Out were my two picks for Best Picture.  I just couldn't choose between them, due to them being in different genres, yet excelling for the exact same reason: a clear, concise vision from an amazing director.  I'm just so happy that it wasn't Three Billboards!  Overall, I think the right people won.  VERY VERY excited about Coco, Allison Janney, Jordan Peele, and Guillermo Del Toro's wins.

 

I also liked all the sass and hard talk from the ladies about inclusive feminism; but, under I see results, I'm just going to thank them for their lip service and keep hoping this movement isn't a trend or a hashtag, but real change that's here to stay.

Honestly I cared way more about that Jet Ski than most of the awards.

 

Remind me to like this whenever the reaction timer resets.

Well next week I get see if SOW will underwhelm me

[MovieMan89]

Wow. I'm in mild shock my favorite film out of all the nominees actually won BP. Only happened twice before in the 15+ years I've watched (ROTK and Slumdog).
