If by "somewhat controversial" you mean "filled with distorted information" I agree.

17/22. I forgot 'Crash' and 'Argo' from just a few years ago—which, let's be honest, we're all really trying to do.

The Tree of Life is probably the best film Malick has ever made, and would have been a worthy Best Picture winner, but it was far too openly religious and artfully weird for the Academy voting crowd.

The audience was already drenched in plenty of his blood tonight.

I must have missed the "great white savior" part, because in the movie I saw the Sioux saved HIM and he was forced to leave their camp out of fear they would be destroyed by the whites hunting him down.

Agreed, the score was bad and didn't match the tone.

I think Dances With Wolves is a pretty great film that has stood up over the years. It's unfairly dumped on for beating Goodfellas.

I'm just messin' around. Cool out, whitey.

I can get behind this, even though I didn't like Birdman. It's definitely an uncompromising art piece. (That being said, I also think McQueen's presentation of '12 Years A Slave' was uncompromising art, just more deceptively so because it was done in a more classical cinematic form.)

Grand Budapest Hotel was the best of the nominated eight, but Nightcrawler was the best film of the year.

I love all the non-white people in Breaking Bad, especially Walter Non-White!

I got all three right this year, and without a single one having anything to do with Holocaust Jews.

You're right, white people really are terrible. We should kill them all.

Boyhood may be Sounder, but I'm going to need you to put down the 'Birdman=Godfather' allusions and slowly back away.

Look, Foxcatcher is a fucking terrible movie but it's really unfair to Carell to suggest that's all there is to his performance. He was really good, and elevated the dreadful material much more than it deserved.

This comment doesn't have nearly enough upvotes.

From all reports he's one of the genuinely nicest guys in the business.

Birdman, (or the Expected Outcome Of A Film About Actors Winning An Awards Show Voted On By Actors)

And here come the Birdman sweeps.
