Slumdog Millionaire wipes the floor with all previous best picture winners in recent memory with the exception of ncfom and departed obviously.

argo was another boring ass choice. the only praise i can give the film was that it was competent, that is seriously it's biggest achievement when i saw it. nothing about the film was exceptional at all.

I think it was a mistake to watch Argo directly after seeing it win best picture. I went in with a biased mindset.

only 2 for Lincoln.

No big streak this year.

INT: Los Angeles Bar

In a booth, at the back of the bar, sequestered from other patrons, under a single chandelier, sit STEVEN SPIELBERG and JOHN WILLIAMS, along with a couple friends & significant others. They stare off into space. STEVEN stirs his drink, and lifts it. JOHN looks to him, lifts his.

STEVEN
To being so fucking good, for so fucking long, that people can't even stomach the thought of rewarding us for it anymore.

JOHN
Cheers.

They CLINK glasses, and down what liquid is in them. JOHN smacks his tumbler on the table, and signals a waiter.

JOHN
Five more. One for each time these fuckers had no choice but to do the right thing.

STEVEN
You know what would have been funny?

JOHN
What?

STEVEN
If you HAD won, and then you started to give a speech, and the producers had to play you off - with your own music.

I don't know why people are so displeased with Seth

We all know what kinds of jokes he makes and we all know he is the Creator of Family guy

What did they expect to hear when they called him to host?

I find his jokes funny

Not a fan of Family Guy, but I did find him entertaining and funny overall.

He toned down as the show went on, with the random spike of crude humour here and there.

@ the reactions ITT to Argo winning best picture

Don't really have a big problem with any of the choices. Would've preferred Phoenix and Watts to win but what can you do.

The Onion tweet is GOLD. I'm not surprised people went crazy because they couldn't understand that joke beyond their comprehension of 'OMG THE C word? A Child!? IDENTIFY YOURSELF ONION!'

Should have kept it online.

There's nothing to get. Haha we called her a cunt when she clearly isn't one! Hollywood is so bitchy! How fucking clever are we?!

People only really use the "you didn't get it" line to convince themselves that they were perceptive enough to get "it" on their own.

When you're defending the Onion after they themselves admitted they went too far then you dun goofed.

Would you have been cool with the Onion tweeting the Jewish jokes you're complaining about?

Was this not the best winners quartet the oscars have ever had? bowing sf low. Still twerking to Tilda's iconic performance in such a shitty movie.
 
Not really seeing how Argo is in the same league as Life of Pi, but really happy to see Ang Lee win Best Director. He's a genius.

Is it worth watching the whole show, or will I be better off just youtubing the acceptance speeches?

Playing the PC guy here. Counted 5 afro-americans, 4 asians ( including the "follow me this way offstage" lady) and one mexican. And a bunch of white guys.


Tarantino thanking himself

Yep^^.

Can't wait for next year when Brad Pitt/Fassbender/Cumberbatch are nommed for 12 Years A Slave and all of the POC are ignored. <3

If 12 years a slave is even nominated at all.
 
People seem to be gif'ing the shit out of Joaquin Phoenix, but the party at my house lost their SHIT when the director cut to Jamie Foxx in the middle of Tarantino's speech.

The look on his face can only be described as "...the FUCK?" and then he realized the camera was on it and he tried to temper it. But it was too late.

And then they cut to Kerry Washington, who was like "Oh... Oh Quentin. Fuck, man. What are you... fuck."

Seth MacFarlane delivered all of his jokes tonight while tilting his head slightly downward and to his right. It was quite annoying (cannot unsee) once you notice it.

Uh, I guess he was trying to be photogenic? Or it's a tick?

He's got a giant head and the weight of it is too much for his neck to balance.

True that. He was also pretty bored looking after Adele´s performance.

No offense, but did you watch it?

If 12 years a slave is even nominated at all.

Completly missed that movie, thank you. I guess Chiwetel Ejiofor could have a chance. Hollywood likes to reassure themself how miserable the life of black people is/was(Precious).

You say that as if Macfarlene actually was at his best at some point in his career.

Nope ;). But have to admit, I like some of his jokes. His career is a mess and he is way too often offensive in a dumb way.

Has The Onion ever actually pulled a joke before? I know it's Twitter and things are different, but I can't think of a time they've ever done that.

Feeling so sorry for the Riva guy. Only time he was mentioned was during this year memorial reel and he was associated with The Amazing Spiderman.
