Awards Season 2017

And, holy shit, shut MJB up--and every other person performing a nominated song.

Never understood the fascination among people who choose to watch the Oscars begging for it to be over quicker

[DarkImbecile]

I don't understand why there are such long speeches introducing the category. And, to Kimmel's point, why does he need to introduce the people who are presenting the award? And, holy shit, shut MJB up--and every other person performing a nominated song. They could get this show over in an hour and a half if they wanted to.

Then what would all the people logged onto this forum to discuss the show do? Leave the house?

God, I forgot how hideous the color timing of The Aviator was

Disagree entirely. Eve aside of the reason for doing it I found it very aesthetically pleasing.

[Brian C]

This has got to be the most random collection of clips in any montage in Oscar history. I don't really mean that as a complaint, either.

[domino harvey]

This montage is still going

[mfunk9786]

Was the entire purpose of this montage the opportunity to insert Black Panther into it?

[soundchaser]

Half of the movies in that montage were terrible, but I'll be damned if montages can't make anything look cool.

[MongooseCmr]

God, I forgot how hideous the color timing of The Aviator was

That’s the only worthwhile thing about it

[mfunk9786]

Don't @ me please

[Brian C]

Was the entire purpose of this montage the opportunity to insert Black Panther into it?

I thought it was to insert Office Space. Obviously everything else was just an afterthought.

Holy cat Eiza González looks beautiful

[mfunk9786]

I had no idea she was in Baby Driver until I looked it up (because I don't know who she is in general). She comes off as much older in that film than she actually is, and I mean that as a compliment. Didn't make that connection at all!

[mfunk9786]

This made the wife extremely happy:

[mfunk9786]

Why would you show an empty beach for Dunkirk, of all things for this category [Production Design]?

[Brian C]

Why would you show an empty beach for Dunkirk, of all things for this category?

Because the alternative was the deck of a small boat, I guess? Maybe not a great nominee, come to think about it.

[mfunk9786]

What is happening

[Altair]

Holy shit, can you imagine a gaudier staging of 'Remember Me'?

[domino harvey]

FYI Rita Moreno is wearing an altered (to be more revealing!) version of the same dress she wore when she won for West Side Story

[mfunk9786]

Man oh man, that laugh made me wish Rita Moreno had been presenting Best Picture the year Crash won

[mfunk9786]

My least favorite performance of the five nominees. There's something about Allison Janney that never works for me when she's given such hammy, tinny dialogue.

[Brian C]

I don't begrudge Janney but Laurie Metcalf was really wonderful and it's a shame she didn't win.

[DarkImbecile]

Biggest shame of the night so far; Metcalf enjoyed the biggest gap between her nearest competitor of any of the big six nominees.

[MongooseCmr]

The laughs during Leslie Manville’s clip got me excited she could steal it. It’s lovely to hear an audience understand it as comedy, mine only amounted to uncomfortable chuckles

[soundchaser]

I'm not sure a joke can tank harder than that "robot discrimination" one just did. An audible hush.
