2016 Oscars

[zinfamous]

Only movie I've seen nominated is Mad Max which has no business being nominated for best movie at all.

I never watch award shows so I'll catch the results tomorrow.

Why not?

I thought this for a few seconds when I first saw the list, as well, but honestly I can't think of a better picture this year. A lot of that being a very weak year, but it truly is the best Action flick in a generation--and I think the best action flick ever. I believe that counts for something.

People were once crying about The Dark Knight not being nominated...which was stupid. TDK should not have been nominated.

I think Mad Max deserves it simply from doing what directors and studios have refused to do for so long: make a real action movie. It is to action genre what musicals are--highly choreographed, stylized, real stunts, real sets, real vehicles and props. Brilliant editing and sound mixing, perfectly-crafted, living world, great yet simple story....just all types of brilliant and endlessly entertaining.

I'd love it, but ya just know that isn't going to happen.

I honestly thought it was the best movie of the year myself. Just because I got a blast out of it I guess

The Drop is another one that made my watch every now and then list.

Shit, that was this year? ...is that what Hardy was nominated for? (Well, I guess he didn't get a lead role nom...which would be a crime) I haven't paid that much attention to the nominees.

I thought this movie, and particularly his performance was fantastic. He was all over Brando from On The Waterfront.

I was just mentioning The Drop myself.

I hope Fury Road at least gets a lot of production recognition.

They really did go balls to the wall there.

I'd like an even bigger surprise and have it get best picture.

 

[KeithTalent]

The Drop was awesome!

I kind of want leo to finally win one, but I also want to see all the new internet memes that come up when he doesn't win.

He will win this time, even though I didn't see the movie, its a gut feeling.

Matt Damon for ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE. :awe:

[MongGrel]

Wow, was another big accident at the intersection out here.

A Jeep Wrangler and something like a CX9 got in a fight big time.

The wife is still out there, I went out and looked, at least no one appears injured.

 

[MongGrel]

Heh, Chris Rock has this one covered

 

[renz20003]

Chris Rock is getting a lot of jeers with his black nominee monologue, I don't believe he will be back...

 

[Cappuccino]

It's an American thing; we wouldn't understand.

KT

[SKORPI0]

And the winners are

Spoiler

Josh Singer & Tom McCarthy- Spotlight - WRITING (ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY)
Charles Randolph and Adam McKay - The Big Short - WRITING (ADAPTED SCREENPLAY)

 

[MongGrel]

The first one didn't surprise me, the second one a bit maybe.

 

[Exterous]

well then why cant mexicano boycott black people are so fussy

I think that might be an overly broad generalization.

 

[MongGrel]

OK, now it is really getting funny

"Don't worry Black Astronaut"

 

[Rudee]

You can tell the audience is quickly tiring of Chris Rock's black jokes.

 

[MongGrel]

P&N >>>

 

[Paul98]

I sure have enjoyed it

 

[ultimatebob]

So far, Mad Max is kicking ass for special effects and costume/set design. All well deserved.

 

[MongGrel]

Now we're rolling.

 

[brianmanahan]

is it true that leonardo dicaprio got raped by a bear in his movie?

someone told me that, so i didn't watch it.

 

[RaistlinZ]

Mad Max is killin' it.

 

[zinfamous]

Mad Max has won the Oscars (Costume design, set design) that it deserved

and now hair and makeup. (best merkins of the year)

that was the only category of those 3 that was competitive so far.

If Leo doesn't win an Oscar this time, I'm boycotting the Oscar.
