February 23, 201510 yr Member Best Picture I'm assuming...disappointing but better that than American Sniper. I just think that was just a glorified war film to make conservative America feel better bout being lied to. Thank God it didn't win anything significant tonight Oh agreed, that trash movie didn't deserve a thing. It looks like most wanted/expected "Boyhood" to win. I haven't seen a single one of these films, a good number of them are on my list though.
February 23, 201510 yr Member Congrats to Julianne. Her segment is the only one I'm watching. But the Oscars are farce to me with its tainted politics and lack of diversity. I also find it sad from the comments here that they resulted to diversifying the presenters in hopes of gaining an audience they'll never give a damn about. The lack of diversity criticism seems a little unfair if we assume the voting isn't rigged and the nominees got the highest votes. What should the Oscars do in that situation? I also don't think the Oscars actively seek any audience since they are traditionally the second highest rated show of the year after the super bowl. I am seeing a spanish speaking guy win best director and accepting for best picture, does he count? It just doesn't seem like there is a monolithic "they" who controls who gets nominated but they can control who gets on the program.
February 23, 201510 yr Member So how do we feel about "Birdman" winning guys? I'd feel better if Keaton had won as well. But seriously, from all that I've heard, it sounds like a phenomenal film, very much in the "magical realism" style of, say, a Marquez novel. So, okay, no "Selma" win, but no "American Sniper" win either.
February 23, 201510 yr Author Member WTF did Madonna's first ex-husband just say? Who gave this blank his green card?
February 23, 201510 yr Member Birdman is a very fine film, but it should've gone to Selma. Which it never would. I wish David Oyelowo had been nominated and won, but if it wasn't him it should have been Michael Keaton. The Hawking biopic is deeply mediocre. The Academy is aging up and out which is why they couldn't tolerate giving it to Boyhood. Too bad. Edited February 23, 201510 yr by Vee

I just wanted Keaton to win, because he is one of my faves. Can you explain more why the Academy wouldn't want to honor "Boyhood"? Congrats to my favorite actress of all time Someday, I'm going to win an Academy Award (if I'm lucky...and no one in the Academy realizes I'm Black) just so I can thank Julianne Moore and Doug Marland for being a HUGE inspiration for me. Who gave this blank his green card? That's what I thought he said. Sean Penn is one of those who keeps me guessing all the time. I never know when he is being an ass or just joshing everyone.
February 23, 201510 yr Member Congratulations Julianne Moore! Our "Hometown Girl From Oakdale" finally received the props she deserved!
February 23, 201510 yr Member A reporter from one the CBS stations here in SoCal tweeted about Julianne Moore being an As The World Turns cast member.
February 23, 201510 yr Author Member A reporter from one the CBS stations here in SoCal tweeted about Julianne Moore being an As The World Turns cast member. On Good Morning America they also mentioned that she was on ATWT and showed a clip of her playing the dual role of Sabrina and Frannie. I believe it was the scene where Bob and Kim are looking for Sabrina.
February 23, 201510 yr Member So, Marisa Tomei has her Oscar, and now Julianne has hers as well. It's YOUR turn, Meg Ryan.
February 23, 201510 yr Author Member So, Marisa Tomei has her Oscar, and now Julianne has hers as well. It's YOUR turn, Meg Ryan. Hahaha....wont happen....good one Khan... I am sure that Julianne will be on Kelly and Michael tomorrow since they are in LA....of course besides appearing on all 3 morning shows.
February 23, 201510 yr Member Soooo happy for Julianne Moore!!! I'm so glad many agree with my thoughts on American Sniper. It seems you aren't allowed to criticize the movie anywhere. Carlivati called Birdman "crap" on Twitter. He wanted Boyhood. He's one to talk about "crap". Look in the mirror, you write crap. I haven't seen either film but I now want to see ALL of the nominated movies (except Sniper, saw it) That was long, boring, lackluster, flat, uninteresting ... any other words to add? LOL All you needed to do was watch the end credits to see all the 'moments'. Edited February 23, 201510 yr by KMan101
February 23, 201510 yr Member Was she in daytime?????? Oh yeah, she just didn't like daytime. I honestly can't blame her, Betsy was a moron when she played her. If Ryan had one movie close to being worthy of an Oscar, it was Courage Under Fire.
