Awards Season 2016

Another deserved screenplay win. God, seeing these swatches of Moonlight has me melting.

Disagree, though I did like the speech.

Hey, you can't tell me whether I'm melting or not!

[captveg]

Perhaps there's now hope for Moonlight, MBS or Hidden Figures to overtake LLL for best director & picture.

Nah. It's just gonna be a way to spread the wealth among Lonergan, Jenkins and Chazelle.

Nah. It's just gonna be a way to spread the wealth among Lonergan, Jenkins and Chazelle.

Would still be OK with a Jenkins/La La Land split or vice versa

[domino harvey]

Good on Chazelle. Not a perfect film, but incredible audacity and vision. So happy! Also it was sweet that the first one on his feet to cheer was his pal Barry Jenkins

[rohmerin]

Is he French? I mean, by passport, by Father's side.

[mfunk9786]

I'll pretend that's for Whiplash and feel mighty good about it. Nice guy, too. Cool socks.

[domino harvey]

We are about to see the poker face of the night if Affleck wins

I agree. Those two will hopefully be given lots of industry support to make the films they desire going forward.

I don't know what Jenkins is working on next, but I'm really curious about Chazelle moving outside of what he's known for with his Neil Armstrong bio pic.

[DarkImbecile]

I'll pretend that's for Whiplash and feel mighty good about it.

Just having the same thought; hopefully I'll have the opportunity to think something similar about Jenkins and Villeneuve at some point.

[mfunk9786]

Wanna see the Viggo Mortensen-starring biopic of Klaus Kinski

[domino harvey]

Damn right Affleck!

[Brian C]

Hooray for Casey. Well-deserved, the actual best performance of the year.

[Never Cursed]

Wanna see the Viggo Mortensen-starring biopic of Klaus Kinski

So I wasn't the only one thinking that!

[domino harvey]

Affleck gave the best performance I've seen in a long time. So proud of the Academy here

[knives]

Wanna see the Viggo Mortensen-starring biopic of Klaus Kinski

So I wasn't the only one thinking that!

This is the idea that can bring us together.

[Brian C]

Man, does that clip ever make me never want to see Florence Foster Jenkins.

[domino harvey]

And damn right Emma Stone. Utterly radiant performance

[mfunk9786]

Man, does that clip ever make me never want to see Florence Foster Jenkins.

Dreadful. Oh, and Huppert forever. No particular offense to Stone's performance but I'm guessing a lot of voters didn't bother to watch Elle - that was the year's finest acting work across genders/categories

[Black Hat]

Tragic that Stone's third of fourth best performance between the nominees and whatever Meryl Streep was doing is victorious.

[Brian C]

Oscars two-for-two in the lead acting performances tonight. I'm not going to look it up now but I wonder when the last time that happened was.

Oh, and Huppert forever. No particular offense to Stone's performance but I'm guessing a lot of voters didn't bother to watch Elle...

You're probably right, but I saw Elle and I'd have still voted for Stone without second thought or regret.

[swo17]

See guys, polling does work.

[mfunk9786]

Bonnie and Snide

(Not even all that accurate, I'm just phoning it in at this point)

[lacritfan]

Come on Warren don't make us worried you've gone senile.

[domino harvey]

Hooray for La La Land! Great Oscars overall, worthy winner, same grouchy bellyachers as always here (though of course I think everyone was okay with Spotlight winning last year)

[domino harvey]

No
