Oscars sucked last night, except Lady Ga Ga and Common.

[thrill]

Eddie Redmayne, huh? Pass.

i had the oscars on mute for about an hour last night and the only thing i really recall is seeing the rock sitting next to stedman

Birdman winning over Boyhood is like Jimmy Edmonds getting elected to the Hall with Willie Mays sitting on the shelf waiting.

I havent seen Birdman but i find it hard to believe it was as good as the amount of awards it won would suggest.

At least it wasn't American Sniper.

I watched Lucy last night and it was pretty good.

It's good. The cinematography is great, and Michael Keaton is great. But the concept of the movie itself, well, the movie thinks it is more clever and original than it is. Oh, theater is an art to be passionate about, and making movies is hard? Neat.

My order of best picture would have been:
1. Whiplash
2. American Sniper
3. Budapest Hotel
4. Birdman
5. Imitation Game
6. The Theory of Everything.
7. Selma
8. Boyhood

I actually haven't seen Selma, but it has to be better than Boyhood. I enjoyed all of the movies I saw on that list, but I had a tough time in my head picking the best one. After I left the theater I was saying American Sniper, but now I'm back to Whiplash. And I just thought the Budapest hotel was great. Birdman I liked alot to. I think those four for me were kind of in a different class than the other four.

I thought the same thing. Even the title is artsy fartsy. (The unexpected virtue ..) Oh [expletive] you person who came up with that.
