I saw that in real-time on Twitter this morning. My feed is like 60% movie writers and my feed exploded.

Best Actor
Steve Carell, "Foxcatcher"
Bradley Cooper, “American Sniper”
Benedict Cumberbatch, "The Imitation Game"
Michael Keaton, "Birdman"
Eddie Redmayne, "The Theory of Everything"

4 out of 5 from biopics. The Academy is kind of predictable.

And how does Lego movie not get nominated for animated? That was impressive, apart from just being a good movie. It's a pretty strong field, but it's still better than Big Hero 6 or How to Train your Dragon 2.

A sign someone has kids: They have strong opinions about the animated academy awards nominations.

Yeah. It's the only category I have any degree of authority on! I'll have opinions on the others in 1-5 years.

But seriously, it's original from a technical perspective, it's fun, funny, engaging and it has a good message that Lego the company could stand to take under advisement.

I was just giving you a hard time. I'm sure I'll watch it. I really like a lot of Pixar's stuff.

American Sniper is pretty awesome.

Can't wait to see it this weekend. Already got our tickets in the 5 Star Lounge for Saturday afternoon!

I wanted to see it, but this sort of stuff almost makes me not want to see it

Also - how is that 5 Star lounge? I like a beer popcorn during a movie. Regular food, not sure if I can get it down/enjoy it in some intense movies i.e. Unbroken or Zero Dark Thirty. I probably would need diapers.

Big Hero Six was stellar. There's Baymax toys all over my house to prove my boys liked it too. Lego Movie was good. How to Train Your Dragon was disapointing to me, but my kids love it.

I loved the first half of Big Hero Six. Second half felt like it drew off a lot of Marvel movie cliches.

I was never really a fan of going to watch movies in theaters because people would typically annoy the crap out of me. Now that they have the 5 Star Lounge it's rare I go to see a movie not in that environment. The tickets aren't that much more expensive (I think they were $12 per ticket), you get a heated recliner w/ tons of room, there's only about 30 seats in the theater itself so all the less likely you run into a-holes, and of course you always have the option of food/drinks.

It depends on my mood but I'm not against getting an appetizer when the movies going, there's in seat wait service so you're not missing anything...and if you're just wanting standard movie munchies you don't have to get up for those either.

It's a win win in my book.

Another observation about Foxcatcher.

[SHOW]

Early in the movie when Mark and Dave Schultz wrestle each other in the practice gym, Mark head butts Dave and either breaks Dave's nose or just causes it to bleed. Dave is stunned for a second, then blows his nose and spits out some blood, and resumes wrestling. This was an elegant and concise way to depict their relationship. Dave had put Mark in a hold he couldn't get out of because he was the better wrestler. Mark weighed at least 20 pounds more and was younger but it didn't matter. Mark couldn't get out of the hold and either panicked or got pissed and injured his brother, who reacted stoically, accepted what happened and moved on.
