Travesty!  Leo did NOTHING Oscar worthy in The Revenant!  

 

Folks need to stop acting like he's been cheated all theses years!  

 

The he only thing that would have made this night an even bigger mockery is if that botoxed action figure would have won for Supporting!  One helluva crack pipe being passed around!  

Am I the only person that finds Eddie  Redmayne great looking?

Well, I am glad Spotlight won Best Picture, but that's all I can say this year...

Spotlight deserved its award.

Mad Max is a great movie but people acting like it is the greatest movie ever made is a bit much.

One of my main memories of Chris Rock and the Oscars was his joke about Elia Kazan, which was so awkward it made me wince, so I wasn't sure what to expect this time around. (I don't really remember his first hosting gig). Other than the crass "girl-on-girl" joke (I know people were upset about the Asian kids joke too), I thought he was decent enough. His monologue threaded the needle about as well as you could, as well as belittling the look-at-me stuff from the Pinkett-Smiths that deserved to be belittled. (continued in that funny "Black History Minute" gag later in the show). The sketch about black actors in small roles was marred by Whoopi Goldberg forgetting how to have comic timing (Leslie Jones never seems to have learned), but Tracy Morgan was pretty funny. The man-on-the-street bit was better.

 

Other than Mark Rylance, the winners were predictable enough. I've long been tired of hearing about poor poor Leo and how sad he is that he doesn't have an Oscar - well, he has one now, so maybe that means he can make something I can actually sit all the way through. 

 

Lots of ugly dresses this year. Cate Blanchett, who looked like Poison Ivy, was the worst for me.

Yes you are but you think Chandler Massey is hot too. Makes sense. 

I'm glad Mark Rylance won, he was excellent in Bridge of Spies. In fact, I've seen him on stage, too, he is one of the best actors I've ever seen, period (Ralph Fiennes was another one).

Preach! And thank you! I thought I was the only one sick of seeing Leo brown-nose every Academy voter with his eagerness and boohoo about DA COLD and I WAS FUCKED BY A BEAR!!!! Like, did the production crew not bring heaters on this shoot? Did the bear not have a handler? Get over you damn self and go back to chasing 19-year old Victoria's Secret models!

Carl, you're crazy! Whoopi and Leslie were hilarious! And Cate Blanchett was my favorite dress of the night, but I think that might just be because I have always been obsessed with her and her unique style. Lol, still love you though! 

He was bound to win eventually, and get a standing o, and have the internet explode.

Yup!  Leonardo DiCaprio's Best Actor Win Was the Most Tweeted Moment of an Oscar Telecast Ever

 

 

So, I'm glad he finally did. However, I'm highly disappointed that it was for a very, very mediocre performance. I guess we can apply this Oscar to all his previous roles lol

 

I don't mind if it was for "career Oscar".  A win is a win.  It's like Martin Scorsese finally winning for The Departed after losing 4 previous times.   IMO, both Leo and Marty are worth these "finally" sentiments.  They've both had a great career and are well respect and loved.   It's not like, say, Bradley Cooper is going to get these "finally" sentiments if he loses on his 4th nomination.  LOL

 

Oscars: The Internet's 17 Best Memes Celebrating Leonardo DiCaprio's Win

My favourites ones:

Michael Fassbender was my favorite in that category this year, but I know he didn't stand a chance with the "Give Leo the Oscar" movement in full throttle. I do hope Fassbender gets more more meaty roles though, he's flown a bit under the radar and is always great. 

Leo is owed a Career Oscar because?  Is he 80?  

Leo is owed a Career Oscar because?  Is he 80?  

it's not about age. It's about being so good for a long time and having a lot great roles without an Oscar.  

 

Sometimes you don't win for your best stuff.  Like when Succi Lucci finally won.  People were just happy she finally won even though it might now have been for her best material.  And right now a lot people happy for Leo. 

There are plenty of people who are good and take a long time to win Oscars. Many of them never seem to get the bizarre pity and cloying sympathy that he gets. I guess it's partially because it's a fun meme people can feel clever about, and also because people still remember him for Titanic, rather than phoning it in when he isn't spending most of his time whoring around with interchangeable models.

The thing with DiCaprio is that every single time he's lost the Oscar, he lost it because he didn't deserve it in comparison to some (if not ALL) of the other nominees. He just hadn't given the best performance. The only way he would win is if, finally, everybody else gave less of a performance in his category, or the campaign was successful enough. Carl is right in that people still love him so much because of TITANIC, or at the very least, still have that image of him in their mind, and, for better or worse, just wanted him to win it, no matter what. That's not an overstatement; ALL of my Facebook is about this, even cynical people who hate Oscars/pop culture are posting how happy they are. I mean, it's bizarre. 

 

I'm glad it's finally done, because now we can move on! lol

Leo won a career Oscar because he's one of those actors people that don't pay attention to the awards show know and love. Whether you like it or not (generally speaking), he's extremely popular by the "everyman(people)" of the world. The same thing goes for Sylvester Stallone. If he had won, there would have been another standing ovation without question. However, like I've said before, the male categories were very weak this year. None of the performances nominated will be remembered years from now. Luckily the actress categories were tight as hell. Almost anyone could have won and few would have complained.
