Grumpy? Are you grumpy just because you don't like award shows?BTW - lots of grumpy people in this thread. Not ashamed to say I make a big dinner every year and friends head over to watch. We drink vats of wine and have a good time. Call me shallow, but I love film.
1000% agree Cruzer - it was the Producer from La La Land who did it, but in his defense I'm sure in the moment he probably thought Beatty just f'd up. I can't even begin to imagine how many emotions were crashing in on him at that moment. Confusion, embarrassment, anger, sadness, etc. The irony is that Faye was the one who announced it!
".oh well, in November it was proven how valued celebrity opinions are in middle America."Sounded from the summaries more like it was the DNC...oh well, in November it was proven how valued celebrity opinions are in middle America. High school drop outs and addicts wearing $100000 outfits, fleets of servants, multiple mansions, shuttled about in pollution belching limos and jets, hidden accounts in the cayman islands ... lecturing the ignorant little people. #resist! LOL
You made it sound like people that don't watch the Oscars are "grumpy", I just don't get into the whole award show thing.
Yep - we all have our "thing". I'm pretty much a pop culture addict, so I'm easily drawn into a variety of events.
honestly, I'd have watched it but I am soooo tired of the political crap that I just get angry. If they could just get over that agenda, I would have watched it no doubt. And honestly, I'd be annoyed even if I agreed with them politically.
On election night it's more about the scoring, it seems like a sport at that point.
as do I ... but any Academy that fails to recognize great, breathtaking works such as The Waterboy and Starship Troopers for boring silliness such Chariots of Fire or Pritzi's Freak'n Honor deserves no attention nor gastronomical delights of celebration at my humble abode...Good day to you, madam, good day!BTW - lots of grumpy people in this thread.

He probably thinks this thread is about him..I don't feel a bit sorry for Beatty. He's so vain!!
Minus her Tammy Faye Baker makeup nonsense?? Frightening. She's making millions.....does she share that with the poor??
Well, Beatty looked pretty mummified, so did Dunaway. Makeup by Portland Cement.
You're confusing grumpy with intelligent. We are the latter. And my wines are in cans.BTW - lots of grumpy people in this thread. Not ashamed to say I make a big dinner every year and friends head over to watch. We drink vats of wine and have a good time. Call me shallow, but I love film.
Denzel looked psychotic....or on meds. Jumped the shark, maybe.
Don't get yer knickers in a knot Frances. I didn't like Trump either and can't believe he won. But a big reason he DID win is, no not the Russians, no not the FBI, but that all the annoying celebrities were so over the top for Clinton. It clearly irritated just enough people in heartland states like Wisconsin, Michigan and PA that they came out and cast their vote for "Not Hillary".
I've got to agree with this. I'm very moderate but even I had grown weary from the entertainment industry lectures about the election.
And get back to making real movies, like Caddyshack!
I don't pay much attention to what celebrities say about anything - the only time their words cross my path is when I read about people complaining that they shouldn't say anything. It is the double standard that I'm commenting on: voting for a celebrity with whom you agree, while at the same time claiming that celebrities should be ignored.
You probably could have taken a minute to think about that one before you responded like you did.
I have not seen Hacksaw Ridge or Hell or High Water. Of the rest I'd rate them (in descending order) La La Land, Lion, Arrival, Moonlight, Manchester, Hidden Figures and Fences. I was not fond of Fences only because I truly felt like I was watching a play (obviously its source). The rest I thought were very well done. Arrival and Moonlight are basically tied. JMO.
