Yeah, true. I think I actually included him in my list last year too.

Ah I see, I didn't quite catch that wrinkle.

True, but you could argue no Guardians, no Jurassic.

And he just signed on to play Thurgood Marshall. I joked a year ago that playing Black Panther would really hurt his chances of playing Barack Obama, Arthur Ashe, Fredrick Douglass, and basically every other black historical figure.

Groot is in it too?

I'd throw Evans in that mix too.

Yeah, but can Infinity War really handle a 68th character in Rocky Balboa?

And also, I'm SO excited for Chadwick Boseman to really be revealed to the masses. He's quietly been very very good. Even in a cheesy movie like 42, he was really fantastic.

I think what made me really like him in Pines was (as I alluded to), yeah, he's supposed to be shitty, but in his last moments on screen when he's being scuttled on stage to join his father he has a really pained look on his face that makes you feel bad for him, despite all his shittiness that came previously.

I've been saying for years that Ringo will be the last surviving Beatle, because of course he would be.

It was YOU!

Was he really charming? Being serious - that's awesome to hear, because in The Place Beyond the Pines his character was completely unbearable until the last 3 minutes of his screen time when you realized he's had a shitty childhood. (And I mean "unbearable" in a positive way because I thought he was really good in it.)

He's not as charming though.

Same. I mean, I like The Simpsons.

Honestly? Elgort could do a good job. He's pretty likable but he can be smug, like how in the first portion of The Fault in Our Stars (if you were unfamiliar with the story at least) he seems kind of douchey.

Same. The tough part is that each deserved each award. Bummer for Linklater, but I took solace in the fact that I don't think Linklater's satisfaction as a filmmaker comes from awards, but from creating a wildly diverse body of work because he feels like it.

That's a fair way to put it. I just thought each was incredibly original, and I figured they would split votes, and the breakdown I suggested made the most sense to me (as Linklater deserved Best Director for taking the chance that he did).

I predicted "Birdman" for Picture and "Boyhood" for Director. I don't think "Birdman" was UNdeserving of Best Director, but I thought for sure that the 13-year span would've won it for Linklater. Don't know that it was a better movie than "Birdman" in general.

They kind of glossed over it. There weren't any climactic scenes about it or any white horses in the living room or anything.
