just saw the winners. Mattew was going to win, i told you man, told you.
also lol at Frozen winning (and wth), Miyazaki seppuku incoming.

Didn't Miyazaki won once for Spirited Away?

I doubt he will seppuku.

 

[Roo]

Damn I just saw the winners list.
Gravity was a beast.
Congrats, amazing movie.

He won for Spirited Away, they had to mail the Oscar to Japan because he was busy at the time, the man is a legend that's way over any Academy Award.

 

[rakhir]

Ben Affleck has two Oscars, and Leo has none.

Well, they both have squat for their acting. Leo should start writing/directing if acting doesn't get him oscars?

 

[TheKaeptain]

Brad Pitt has an Oscar.
American Hustle got none.
JLaw lost



Great awards night.

 

[Roo]

I feel sorry for him.
He keeps picking up roles with OSCAR WINNER written all over them but the Academy is like.. lol no

Did Leo talk against the academy or disagree with them a couple of years back?

 

[UrbanRats]

I think J Leto was good in Dallas Buyers, but i think i preferred Fassbender over him.

Also, weird that The Act of Killing lost, that doc was amazing.

Otherwise, not too weird.

 

[AuthenticM]

Kevin Spacey just burned Travolta on Kimmel.

I hope this gets to Youtube. I want to see it.

OMG KEVIN SPACEY KEYBOARD CAT.

THIS IS TOO MUCH.

Is this a Kimmel thing too ?

 

[Roo]

Not that I recall

Gravity - editing?
Gravity - cinematography?

Eh.

I know that, I was just kidding.

 

[Shadow780]

LEAVE LEO ALONE!

Spoiler

my mom is super salty every year he doesn't win

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

The actor playing Leo in his biopic will win the Oscar.

That would be hilarious

The problem is that he's an average actor. He tries his heart out, but he's just not a top tier actor. He's never been robbed, or snubbed. He's lost to better performances every time.

 

[UrbanRats]

Forgot to say, Tom Hanks deseved at least a nomination for Cpt. Phillips.

 

[Yasae]

His younger roles were also his best. The Beach and beyond were pretty humbling.

 

[Finalow]

don't worry about Leo, next year he's gonna win it, next year.

 

[firehawk12]

Gravity - editing?
Gravity - cinematography?

Eh.

Really? Those are the two best aspects about the film.

 

[DrForester]

My favorite Leo performance is Catch me if you Can. Only time where I see the character, and not Leo trying really hard.

 

[Nafai1123]

I love Leo, but MM fuckin earned that award as did Leto. Amazing performances by both.

 

[Jables Swan]

I'm just glad AH got nothing. So good.

All is right in the world.

Happy with all winners in the main categories. All deserving.

 

[Tookay]

Yeah, I think you nailed my problem with Leo. It never feels genuine.

 

[Yasae]

Firstly, Cuaron has had better cinematography in his past films like Children of Men or Great Expectations. Second, even though it's shamelessly flashy, The Grandmaster had the edge.

Gravity has nice spectacle, but its actual cinematography is more storyboard than perspective sleight of hand.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

He won for Spirited Away, they had to mail the Oscar to Japan because he was busy at the time, the man is a legend that's way over any Academy Award.

He wasn't busy, he was basically boycotting the US because of the "War On Terror".

Do I wish Lubezki won for Tree of Life? Sure. But what he did with what amounts to a fictional camera in fictional spaces is astounding.

 

[Lamel]

3 out of the last 21 winners doesn't seem like high probability to me.

You didn't argue against what he claimed. 3/21 isn't the chance of a movie with slavery/holocaust winning; you need to see all the times a movie with that criteria was nominated and how many times it won.

To be fair, the short doc that won was a film about a holocaust survivor who was only spared because she could play the piano and the Germans used her in their concerts.

 

[Junior Mint]

Kevin Spacey is such an awesome guy

 

[UrbanDandy]

From buzzfeed

 

[overcast]

Oh, Jennifer Lawrence "fell" again before the show?

Hmm..

 

[Oersted]

Beside Rises no robberies. I'm impressed.

 

[Onion_Relish]

Fun fact: I went to high school with the girl that is dating the lead actor from 12 years à slave. Same grade and everything.

 

[Tookay]

Muted as soon as he mentioned god.

Cute.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Also,

LMAO @ John Travolta butchering Idina Menzel's name by calling her "Adele Dazim".

LOL

I guess Scientology didn't cure his dyslexia like it did for Cruise.

Spoiler

look at jonah hill

 

[keit4]

12 years a slave won? What a shame. It's a ok movie, but overrated. Her should have won.

 

[Ampersands]

Also, I thought that Jared Leto, John Ridley, Cate Blanchett, and Matthew McConaughey all gave great speeches.

I thought Lupita's speech was pretty good as well. McConaughey's was God-tier though.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Spoiler

look at jonah hill

He gonna cry in the car

 

[KeRaSh]

Just saw MM's acceptance speech on Youtube. I could listen to him talk about anything for hours. Great speech. Well deserved award. This is his year. Bring on Interstellar!

 

[Roo]

Spoiler

look at jonah hill

lol
that was cruel.

 

[Salsa]

As far as "disappointments" go; I honestly dont think Leto was that good. I think Barkhad Abdi deserved it tbh, but that was obviously not gonna happen.

also I really didnt care for 12 years a slave but it was pretty obvious it was gonna swipe


im happy spike jonze finally got an oscar tho.

For all its faults, the film still accomplished things with its photography that had literally never been seen before in cinema. Very, very few DPs out there could have pulled off what Lubezki did. If that isn't good enough for a cinematography Oscar, then just about everybody who has ever won one in the past ought to turn theirs back in.

The only category that was more of a stone cold lock for Gravity than cinematography was VFX.

 

[Sepp]

At least gravity didn't win best picture. That film was a (beautiful) abomination.

 

[CassSept]

Well that was incredibly predictable. The category I'm the most surprised with was Animated Short so I wouldn't say there were any obvious robberies this year. Actually, I think I'm most surprised with how unsurprising it was.

I'm just glad American Hustle didn't win anything.

 

[Chuck Norris]

3 out of the last 21 winners doesn't seem like high probability to me.

Lol Shakespeare in Love

 

[LQX]

12 Years was a great film but sadly its win will be marred with many debating if it was guilt win and had to win. The next few days might also be insufferable with many accidentally saying the worse things possible.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

The part where Frozen won any YT footage yet? + from the song part?
