Make that 3.

The Stacey Dash bit bombed horribly.

That was the greatest thing in the history of ever.

 

[WarDamnVols]

and now The Revenant gets a piece of the action.

mad max will get next one though.

 

[WarDamnVols]

The sound categories will be telling. They'll determine whether Mad Max or The Revenant wins the most awards.

damn. that does it. Mad Max FTW.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Good grief. Guess I need to watch Mad Max.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Man Mad Max won't win the big one probably but dang, they are racking up.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Apparently I should watch Mad Max by not actually watching.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

And again!

 

[WarDamnVols]

Man Mad Max won't win the big one probably but dang, they are racking up.

that should be it for the night, unless they pull off huge upsets in BP and BD categories.

about what i expected, though i think i had the sound categories mixed with the revenant wining one.

Mad Max was my #12 movie of the year, but they deserved all those technical awards.

 

[WarDamnVols]

Holy ****!!! Ex Machina won an Oscar! **** yeah!!!

first big upset of the night. had star wars winning, but I'm much happier to see Ex Machina win!

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Holy ****!!! Ex Machina won an Oscar! **** yeah!!!

That's pretty awesome.

 

[WarDamnVols]

one upset followed by another. and first oscar for Chile. awesome.

 

[Weezer]

I am boycotting the Oscars. Not because of diversity, but because I find it rather boring.

 

[Boston Vol]

Feel bad for Sly Stallone, but Rylance deserved it. He was brilliant in Bridge of Spies

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Dang, Stallone was robbed. He was the favorite by far.

 

[WarDamnVols]

another surprise. thought Sly had it in the bag.

shame Beasts of No Nation got jobbed. Idris Elba should be up there.

So should Cary Joji Fukunaga, it was a great film.

 

[WarDamnVols]

So should Cary Joji Fukunaga, it was a great film.

well not really, since the award is for Supporting Actor haha

but yes, Fukunaga should have indeed been nominated for Director. and Attah should have been nominated for Actor. and those among other things.

stupid Academy hating on Netflix though...

 

[WarDamnVols]

damn, after a hot start, i'm starting to really struggle.

 

[BruiserVol]

Pulling for DiCaprio to get lead actor. Something about him is just so likable. Not just as an actor but as a person.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Holy Geez it's almost 11 ET and they still have a ton of awards to go.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Pulling for DiCaprio to get lead actor. Something about him is just so likable. Not just as an actor but as a person.

I'm starting to wonder if he'll do it, seems like they're going for some surprises.

 

[Boston Vol]

He and Brie Larson are locks. Still could be an upset in director and/or picture though.

 

[WarDamnVols]

I'm starting to wonder if he'll do it, seems like they're going for some surprises.

despite the surprises, i just can't see Leo not winning.

if there somehow is an upset, it better go to Cranston. If Redmayne gets another one, I'll riot.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Wow, they dug out Louis Gossett Jr.
