Oh man, she's so great! I loved her character in Whip It. I played derby and I'd totally want Bloody Holly on my team.

I'm absolutely surprised he didn't win it. Because as much as he may be disliked (though this isn't something I knew about), the Oscars are often about honouring people for a body of work and not necessarily who actually deserved it that year. If they were going by that, then I think the right guy won. Rylance was

Yeah, I think the room was kind of like "Is that the girl from Clueless? She's aged well . . . are we supposed to laugh? Clap? I just don't know. Matt, can you pass those girl scout cookies?"

It's not really fair because he was only nominated twice, but Heath Ledger?

A bunch of shitheels weren't clapping, true, but he seemed like the shit-heeliest.

He reminds me of Natalie Portman. I can always see him acting, see the gears turning. He never disappears into a role. One of the only times I've ever felt that with him was Django and he wasn't even nominated.

I think the Academy was like "Fuck. Give this little whiner his Oscar so he'll shut up about how cold he was." Tom Hardy was cold in The Revenant and hot in Mad Max and I don't think I once heard him complain. (To be fair, though, maybe he did and I just couldn't understand the world's greatest mumbler.)

YOU might not be, but boy howdy is the media going to be.

People are already predicting Birth of a Nation for best picture for next year and it's not even March yet.

I was talking about The Martian with a guy I work with and said it felt kind of drama free because of course they were going to rescue him. And he replied, in all seriousness, "Well why is that an issue? Did they not try to save him in real life?" I just stared at him, thinking "this person thinks we forgot an

I lit'rally just sat here for ten minutes trying to figure out what kind of cheese is named Vikander. It has been a long night.

I think people think he's good, but not two years in a row good. I mean, that shit hasn't happened for 65 years! And I think people (rightly) feel that Linklater wuz robbed last year. Inarritu also came off like kind of a sourpuss when Mad Max was taking all the technical oscars and that felt unnecessary, since it was

Fact: Five out of ten people will mistake one Canadian Ryan for another.

Look at the way he was dressed!

Man From U.N.C.L.E. had a great score AND a great soundtrack. *puts on sunglasses and dances to Solomon Burke*

I hate the ol' "Woops! You should've won for that other good thing you did, but we had to award somebody else that year for some reason! NEXT YEAR!" chestnut that the Oscars trots out in one category or another every single year.

she didn't know how to play guitar!?

I know this is the category where we all go "ooooh, pretty!" But it would be nice to see some recognition for costuming that is very "of the time" even when the time was the early 2000s. The costuming in Spotlight is not pretty. In fact, it is ugly as hell. But it is so perfectly spot on that it hurts to recall that

I almost forgive him that movie. It was before he learned to act! And stupid!
