Awards Season 2017

[soundchaser]

At least that carny song didn't win

I wouldn't have minded an actual horrible hurdy-gurdy inflected carnival song taking it home.

[DarkImbecile]

Sigh. It’s probably cooler to not have won, but I wanted Sufjan Stevens to win that Oscar pretty badly.

[mfunk9786]

Greenwood loosing is the first real disaster of the night.

LQ's played it during her morning shower every morning for the last month or so, and I therefore feel qualified to agree with this. An absolutely sumptuous score that never once has peeved me to crack a tired eye open to

[knives]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm doing a real terrible job guessing these. Only seven right so far.

[domino harvey]

Jennifer Garner was way too happy and upbeat about all these dead people

[mfunk9786]

Eddie Vedder has one of those voices that's tailor made for an In Memoriam

[Clarence]

Nothing against Desplat but such a disappointment.

Seriously, Greenwood was the clear choice by a country mile.

[MongooseCmr]

He more or less sang one for Twin Peaks earlier this year already

Did they skip Tobe Hooper?

[pandroid7]

Sigh. It’s probably cooler to not have won, but I wanted Sufjan Stevens to win that Oscar pretty badly.

Same. I knew he didn’t have a chance, but I hoped! I was really pulling for Greenwood for score too.

Unimportant observation: Jennifer Garner was looking like she could beat me at arm wrestling, and I’m here for it.

[Clarence]

Seriously, no clip for Jeanne Moreau?

[mfunk9786]

She knows she's gonna have one big moment where she gets to pull back and sock Ben Affleck in the face, and that a lot of folks are counting on it being a direct hit

Lord, I would pay a decent amount of money to see that too.

[domino harvey]

All about Emma Stone's look, esp with the envelope hiding that bow

[Brian C]

I think that if I were Greta Gerwig, I'd be slightly embarrassed to be singled out in that context.

[mfunk9786]

zzzzzzzzzzz

[domino harvey]

Not a fan of his movies but Del Toro seems like a nice guy

[pandroid7]

Same. She always looks pretty rad.

I’m happy for Guillermo.

[mfunk9786]

You're correct about this, of course - this is the first year I can ever remember where I would've been absolutely happy with any of the five nominees winning. But man, would a win for Gerwig or PTA or even Peele have sent me into the ceiling

[Feego]

They freakin' left Bill Paxton out of the In Memoriam. Also Oscar-winner Dorothy Malone. At first I chalked up her omission to the fact that she just died this year, but they included Terence Marsh and Jóhann Jóhannsson, both of whom died after her.

[mfunk9786]

I think he was in there last year, wasn't he?

[MongooseCmr]

Paxton died last February and was probably in last years clipshow.

[Luke M]

“Pan’s Labyrinth was better,” he said into the void.

[Brian C]

Del Toro is a director who puts a lot of himself into his movies, and he has a long track record at this point as a distinctive auteur. There have been a lot of winners in that category who can't say that.

[domino harvey]

Jennifer Aniston mentioned Paxton last year before the In Memorium, but he wasn't in the clips then

[dx23]

I'm pretty sure Paxton was in the In Memoriam last year
