2015 Academy Award Nominations

[The Ween]

The nine hour fashion show or the 3 hour award show where they speed people off the stage?

I used to like watching the stars come in, but it's just too long now and most of the people shouldn't even be there.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

If I can, I might do it, though I have an exam to study for.

 

[EVILFACE]

Anyone watching this tonight? I'm gonna pass. I just hope they don't give too much attention to the protesters.

Nope.

A picture or those involved in it's creation winning an award is irrelevant to me.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I'm not watching it either

 

[quadcent]

nope, pretty sure the results will be on the internet tomorrow......

[CriterionCollector]

And Patricia Arquette wins an award for the Up Series.

 

[IronFingaz]

Wow. John Legend and Common

 

[guyver1]

Keaton got screwed! damn

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Well, Keaton's "comeback" is over and there's no Beetlejuice 2....damn! Tomorrow Tim Burton goes back to ignoring Keaton's phone calls

Dammmmm Birdman won best director, picture and those morons couldn't give Keaton the prize!

 

[marker2037]

Michael Keaton is the coolest guy in Hollywood. Sucks he didn't win, but overall I'm happy with the recognition Birdman got and I'm very pleased with JK Simmons winning for supporting actor.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Dammmmm Birdman won best director, picture and those morons couldn't give Keaton the prize!

None of the actors won...yet they gave him the best director award It's the director's job to get the best performances out of the actors.

 

[Khev]

A director does much more than simply guiding the performances of his/her cast.

I wanted Boyhood to take top prize but Birdman was #2 so it was nice to see that one walk away with so much recognition.

 

[DiFabio]

Woah, I thought tonight was Boyhood and Linklater's night. Pretty surprising there. Crazy that Birdman won all those categories and Best Picture.

Sure, it sucks for Keaton but he was chill about it and still got to go up on stage. He was never going to beat a baity role like Stephen Hawking with ALS. Keaton still had a great run.

 

[Khev]

It's getting a little eye-rolling every time Hollywood mentions "comic book movies and movies based on best sellers" in a derogatory fashion when award season rolls around. And with the visual effects awards going to three "artsy" films in a row (Life of Pi/Gravity/Interstellar) I think it's safe to say that both Age of Ultron and The Force Awakens are pretty much guaranteed to walk away empty handed next year.

 

[Khev]

Pretty surprising there. Crazy that Birdman won all those categories and Best Picture.

When Norton lost to Simmons and then it started losing out in lesser categories like Sound Editing and whatnot I was actually starting to fear a shutout. Guess not!

 

[crows]

whats the point of giving a movie best director and best movie awards?
doesnt that pretty much award the same thing?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

A director does much more than simply guiding the performances of his/her cast.

Well, yeah, but working with the actors is still a major part of directing a film.

Because the best picture award goes to the producer, the person responsible for putting everything together...from the very beginning.
