Oscars 2016

[Seshmeister]

I have to say there is a serious risk this may be the worst Oscars in living memory - 4 hours of self flagellation about the inherent racism of the world, a host that has maybe jumped the shark and a very predictable outcome in all the main categories. I've seen 5/8 best picture nominations so far and none blew me away - The Revenant is going to win.

Anyhoo I'm a film fan so I have to look despite the Hollywood nonsense that goes on every year.

Gotta work, won't be watching. Out of the best picture nominees, I've only seen The Martian.

I wonder if they'll have Chris Rock on a short leash. Or no leash, and he says enough to not get invited back.

[Kristy]

Ghey.

[vandeleur]

The revenant , I've seen it twice because my wife made me watch it the second time , it lasts a year. It makes you feel cold and miserable and to be honest natural light go fuck yourself if there was one more shot of looking up to the sky through trees I was gonna go chin a bear.
The should give Leo his Oscar just so the poor cunt can stop putting himself through this torture porn.

[vandeleur]

Even though I thought Michael fasbender was better in Steve jobs. And he would get it if he had of been attacked by Kate winslet and had to survive and make the iPhone.

The natural light didn't bother me "too" much...just a couple of scenes. What really bothered me was when they were in a boreal forest, then suddenly in a rain forest, and then back to boreal. I could tell exactly which scenes were shot in BC when they had to change locations due to a Chinook melting all the snow where they were shooting in Kananaskis. Drove me crazy!!!

"4 hours of self flagellation about the inherent racism of the world"

Yes, these poor actors being ignored because Hollywood is sooooo racist. It's almost as retarded as Farrakhan saying black ball players in the NBA are slaves. Wjere do I sign up so I can get my fair share of this discrimination and oppression? I'll be more than happy to come home and cry on a stack of money and sit in my big ass mansion and moan about how I'm so mistreated.

Yo Eddie hitler chill ya tits you live in a mansion don't play man of the people for the crowds

[Kristy]

Oooooh, CGI bear attacks. How Hollywood.

[Angel]

Oooooh, CGI bear attacks. How Hollywood.

The bear attack would be pretty hard to do without CGI...

[DONNIEP]

I never claimed to be one of the "people". You're talkin to the Rolex wearin, diamond ring wearin, kiss stealin, wheelin dealin, jet flyin, limousine ridin sonofagun! I can't help it that I'm so damn tanned and pretty! So you keep your micro aggressions to yourself, you pasty white skinned Chalkasian!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a tanning appointment in 15 minutes and it takes at least five for me to strap on all my weapons and pick out a watch. And I think that today I will wear one of my early 1980s vintage Seiko divers so I can show solidarity with the common folk and with the mistreated in Hollywood.

Bwahahahaha!! Like I'm gonna go to the tanning bed wearing a fuckin Seiko...I crack myself up...

[Seshmeister]

The bear attack would be pretty hard to do without CGI...

Pretty hard but not impossible...

[DONNIEP]

Pretty hard but not impossible...

Well, I couldn't understand a word the kid was saying but it was funny

[Angel]

I dinna understand why Muricans cannot understand Scots.

Drunk Newfies. Now THOSE people talk funny!!!
