And to leave the boys in the audience very confused about their budding sexuality.

Well, yeah, and a lot of those people in the pack probably have interesting stories too. The fact that they can't all "make it" is, to me, more an indictment of a flawed capitalist system than a statement of individual unworthiness.

Glad to hear about this too. Rainbow frequently steals the show.

But that's the thing, it doesn't matter. She's pursuing her dream because it's good for her to do so.

True fact- if you say anything negative about coal while in West Virginia the people there are legally allowed to sacrifice you to the coal gods.

See, I haven't seen Argo, but this is what I'm talking about. If Argo had not won Best Picture would it inspire such rage? If Birdman had just stayed a weird little cult movie, nobody would be talking about how it was OBVIOUSLY awards bait that played on Hollywood narcissism, they'd have to actually engage with it as…

I've seen plenty of musicals. It was awesome. Beautifully made, visually sumptuous, the relationship is well-drawn, the score has a jazzy sensibility even if it does mean the songs run into each other a bit, and while it relies quite a bit on the combined charm offensive of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, well, that…

It's got loads of acclaim but I wouldn't rule out a backlash if it takes the Oscar.

Does it really matter if she's a particularly good actress or writer? Ed Wood is a movie all about "the worst filmmaker of all time" but we're still supposed to root for him because he's trying to make his dream come true.

Yeah that's a nice surprise. She's always just great.

I am not looking forward to the inevitable La La Land backlash if it wins the Best Picture Oscar. (Or for Moonlight if it does the same instead.)

I think my favorite gag was when they're wondering who it could be who delivered the soup, and Josh says "Shakespeare!"

Plus if the margins on this site are that damn thin what's the point anyway? A market that cannot sustain writings on true niches of pop culture is fucked indeed.

Nah, that ruled.

Yeah even if he's being cast specifically to be "Walken", you never feel like he's coasting.

That's really a shame.

I still think this was made on a bet.
