Nick V. said Muslims celebrated the towers going down during 9/11. I don't know how that's not bigoted.

Actually, there was a fair bit of even-handed research done into this. Turns out, while there weren't thousands of Muslims celebrating in the streets, there almost certainly were Muslims celebrating it in NJ and news stories reporting on it.

lol get this guy off stage. He's the reason they got so much bad buzz this year.

 

Edit: weird they didn't get someone famous to present In Memorium () and he did.

I know, but now Trump is going to tweet about the Oscars.

Spike Lee has build a career long credential to do that kind of move, with someone like him there is no: Look at that person trying to get PR and attention doing this mixed with a long build up respect, being older help also a lot.

Very happy BP won 3 awards, even if Aiw got screwed over on Best Vfx.

So deserved for Gaga.  And there was something magical about hearing her say "I worked hard for this."  It's so refreshing to hear a woman say that.  I love you, Gaga.

[DMan7]

Maaan I can only imagine all the YT videos if BP wins that BP award. 

[MovieMan89]

Probably the most deserving non-animated movie song winner in decades.

A Star Is Born was the smartest career decision Gaga has done so far. She will have a long and prestigious career especially compared to other early 10's pop stars who are either dead by now or will be in max 5 years.

Every time I see Bohemian Rhapsody win anything

If it makes you feel any better GREEN BOOK isn't a very good movie even if I agreed with its message.

It is a really well crafted movie imo, it got a A+ cinemascore and will make what around 15 time it's opening weekend ? for a reason.

“Accounts of celebrations in Jersey City and Paterson, both of which have large Arab-American and Muslim populations, spread quickly in the days after the attacks. Most accounts have been debunked.”

She is extremely talented so it is well deserved. I feel like she'd always have a continued career maybe not as a huge pop star, but very acclaimed because she of her song writing abilities. 

[DMan7]

What's so political about this?

 

[Valonqar]

LMAO REG! So adorable!

[filmlover]

Happy that this BlacKkKlansman montage is being set to "Too Late to Turn Back Now." Always loved that song.

[MyMovieCanBeatUpYourMovie]

Is Black Panther really the first superhero film to win best score? 

 

Something actually beat John Williams' Superman score?
