Not to mention Philip Seymour Hoffman and Philip Seymour Hoffman too.
bowing to you for saying what i couldn't tbh.
QT deserves props for writing a German as a good guy for once.
Well said.

I understand that you were a fan of SLJ and Leo's performances, and I agree wholeheartedly that either of them should have won over Waltz. Both were more memorable. That being said, I've yet to hear good reasons why Waltz's performances in both films were essentially the same. I've heard the argument itself, but I've yet to hear it be supported in any way. Simply stating an opinion doesn't convince other people.
If you believe that the performances are inherently similar, I would love to hear your argument.
Perhaps I'm confused (because your response feels in opposition to mine), but.....we're in agreement. I was the one who made the original "Waltz won twice for the same role" post.

just re-watching ben affleck's speech for best picture and realized the 3rd producer with affleck and clooney is this guy:
I fucking loved him in True Lies!

Exact same. These expensive chemical drugs for hollywood stars are not as invisible as they used to be.
Lmao I thought of the same exact thing.

Anyone have a link to the full event? I missed it and it's not up on youtube yet.
I'm glad Tarantino won, it's been a long time since Pulp Fiction, but I really wish he got it for Inglourious Basterds instead which I thought was his best work since Pulp and better than Django. If I had to guess Django win is an apology for giving in to the mediocre Hurt Locker.

It might have been the nagging pain in her foot.

For straight-up comedy? Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda, maybe.
Edit: Forgot about Alan Arkin, but Little Miss Sunshine has that kind of half drama half comedy thing going on. It's rare that someone is recognized for balls-out comedic acting these days, like Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder or Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids. It's even rarer that they win.
Christoph Waltz - Django Unchained
Well, Alan Arkin´s part was never really a dramatic one.
Yeah, he dies to the end, but you didn´t even see him "dying".
Except that, I completly agree. Heck, even Charlie Chaplin was robbed back in the day.

If any of you have a shot of her in the crowd after her presentation, she looked like a mess.

Glad to see he got the recognition he deserved.
I think I prefer the Raiden joke someone said a little earlier.

She reminds me of one of those screaming Skeletor women that used to put out exercise videos in the 80s and 90s. I would not have been all that surprised if, while cackling, her head detached from her body and started eating up the set and chasing everyone like a Langolier.

My favorite post-Oscars reaction: Django Unchained didn't deserve to win Best Original Screenplay.
Did you read Django Unchained?
No, but I saw it.
Did you read ZDT or Moonrise Kingdom?
No, but I saw them.
Have you ever read ANY script?
...
Yeah... that's not how it works, bud.

I've just seen Argo. It was good (better than Zero Dark Thirty and miles better than Les Misérables and Django Unchaiened) but didn't deserve Best Picture. Amour was the best movie.
Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt won their respective leading role awards for As Good As It Gets.
Can I just go off of general story? I never read a script before and I always assumed I can judge a good screenplay by how good the story is.
Tarantino's scripts are just dialouges. Yo can entirely judge a script from the movie.

No, not really. I used to think you could until I started reading them. Dialogue and story organization are only two components of a screenplay.

Internet Movie Script Database, for one. Look around the web first and try to find out what scripts are truly considered great because the medium can be very "bare bones." It's not quite like reading a book, so don't expect that.
The first great screenplay I ever read was Pulp Fiction.

correct about everything
according to tmz, he actually was invited, but wasn't put on the list for some reason, so i can understand why he might be pissed.

He's the only thing that made the film interesting.
Depends at what point you want to read the screenplay. Most screenplays tend to be publicly available on the internet (and by publicly available, I mean you'll be able to find them with a simple Google search) once a film has released theatrically. Sometimes it takes a few months, but generally, once a film has released theatrically, its screenplay is sure to follow. If the film has been nominated for an Academy Award, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that its screenplay will be easily had. And for this, sites like Internet Movie Script Database, Simply Scripts, script-o-rama, mypdfscripts, etc. are some examples of such sites.
If you want to read a screenplay prior to a film's release (they can leak years before a film actually comes to fruition), you're going to have to have to have industry connections or join some kind of a script sharing group. Such scripts used to be readily available with a Google search, via file sharing sites like Mediafire, but studios have cracked down pretty heavily over the last few years. So the practice has been pushed more underground.
