If Hugo doesn't win I'm changing my avatar to my penis.

That sucks.

[zychi]

here's a lesson to future directors. make a movie with a cute dog, and in black and white and the old voters will shoe you in.

Hahahhaha

Fitting winner for a down year in film.

Setting up for an epic 2012.

Paul Thomas Anderson's Scientology flick! Cuaron's Sci-fi flick! Prometheus! Lincoln! Potentially two Malick's! Batmang!

 

[Kitschkraft]

What do you mean by this? (Genuinely Curious)

I don't like the submissive, happy maid bullshit from Hollywood. I don't feel that movies like "The Help" are very truthful, feels outdated, and is condescending. I saw it, and the out of touch, privileged, white middle class attitude of it just bleeds through.

At the same time, I really like and enjoy Viola Davis as an actress and as a person, she deserved it just as much as anyone and this has to hurt her, being the favorite and all (At least I assumed she was). Unlike everyone else, she probably has so few opportunities to win something like this (Unless their is a live action version of Aunt Jemima).

What's with the backlash? The Artist was a great movie.

I know right

 

[~Kinggi~]

I just wanna say that its fucking stupid as shit that for a score (from moneyball and Michael Dyanna) that is used so consistently throughout all the Oscars videos to not be nominated.

 

[artist]

The Academy members need their memberships revoked and a new set of members should be selected. Fuck this nostalgia BS.

The favourite is always overrated garbage that shouldn't win. Didn't you hear?

Ook...this s gonna be wkward now.

 

[flyover]

Worst Oscars ever?

They all are.

 

[SteveWinwood]

What was that piece of score that played during the Best Picture montage from?

Wait no I'm wrong.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

I don't know what to do.

Nobody likes a picture perfect outcome.

 

[Sanjuro]

What was that piece of score that played during the Best Picture montage from?

I'm not sure the name, it was from Moneyball though.

 

[Duxxy3]

What a fucking sham.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Do silent actors really count as actors? They don't do as much work as motion capture actors, and they're not eligible.

...

Where's your penis avatar?

 

[D4Danger]

well that was a waste of time

another year of shit winners people will forget about by next year

 

[RustyNails]

Worst Oscars ever?

It's up there.

You acknowledge The Hobbit and you do it now!!!

 

[bluestuff]

At least they made the right choice this year.

 

[dLMN8R]

here's a lesson to future directors. make a movie with a cute dog, and in black and white and the old voters will shoe you in.

Have you seen The Artist? I didn't see all the nominated films, but out of The Descendants and Hugo (the only others I saw), The Artist is the only one that's actually worthy of the award.

Practically a perfect movie, and anyone can enjoy it. Go see it if you haven't already.

 

[paperboywriter]

Billy wilder?

 

[zerodayPopbot]

The Tree of Life should have at least gotten cinematography...fucking robbed.

exactly! put the silent actor into a non-silent film and see how he does! charlie chaplin couldn't win an oscar in todays age of digital crap like transformers!

 

[SolKane]

The boys that released you from Hitler's icy grip? No? ok

:lol

They could have at least named one american; God for example.

If you knew anything about acting you'd know that acting is 90% body language, 10% dialogue.

But you know what really grinds my gears: indignant, Francophobic Americans.

 

[bud]

worst oscar show i've seen. an utter disaster.

 

[Swag]

I don't know what to do.

Start saying goodbye to Mr C.K!

 

[polyh3dron]

Also, fuck the Academy for giving The Artist best original score when it used music from Vertigo in a pivotal scene. There Will Be Blood's score was disqualified for WAY less.

 

[bigosc2k]

What was that piece of score that played during the Best Picture montage from?

From Moneyball

 

[Baron Aloha]

The Artist looks like its shit. Can't believe it won. That damn dog deserved the Oscar more than the guy who won best actor.

Spoiler

Am I doing it right GAF?

[Sanjuro]

There is always next year.

 

[El Pescado]

DUDE YOU WON!!! Why u mad?

I LOL'd in bed and woke my wife.

 

[DrForester]

John Goodman has now been in an Academy Award Winning Film. All is right with the world.

If you knew anything about acting you'd know that acting is 90% body language, 10% dialogue.

It was sarcasm man, how did the motion capture comment not tip you off to that....

 

[Maxim726X]

What's the deal with the dog?

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

pretty much. I shall watch some Chapman flicks in celebration tonight!

The Artist looks so bad.

No need to see it, the awards spoiled the whole damn movie. Winning all of those awards, you figure Hugo would've won best picture, since y'know, they won all the other awards.

 

[kingocfs]

Can't wait to buy Hugo on blu-ray 3D on Tuesday

This. I can't wait to see that movie.

 

[Kinyou]

I don't know what to do.

Penis.

That's what you do

 

[Replicant]

well that was a waste of time
