2014 Oscars Thread

Always surprises me how professional actors have difficulty reading a Teleprompter. If only they had the skill to memorize what they are supposed to say.

I think Ellen thinks she's doing a lot better than she actually is.

 

Of all the performers Pink crushed it

 

I think she's doing fair to middling. If it wasn't for the Twitter crash, her Liza line would be her legacy

 

Jamie Foxx is illiterate.

 

More things change....

Anyhoo...Best. Acceptance speech. Ever.

 

Ellen is starting to trip over her tongue more frequently.

 

I wish no one told her there was more of the show to do.

 

Completely unremarkable Oscars this year. Totally forgettable.

 

Her girlfriend says that's, sadly, a common occurrence.

 

Well, once again Leonardo DiCaprio has been left without an Oscar win. Sad stuff as he really is a fantastic actor. Don't worry though. DiCaprio took a look at what won this year and he's already trying to find a script where he can play a black man who is forced into slavery and contracts HIV while in space after his ship gets overtaken by Somali pirates controlled by a Siri-like operating system. ‪

 

Didn't you guys catch some of the most transparent sulking in recent memory?

Ellen did the last 45 minutes in full-out sulk, obviously because she was told there was no time for her to be brilliant in between awards since they were looking at 45 minutes over.

She was pisssssssed. Think ... how many remotely funny lines did you hear her deliver in those last 45?

Hard to have any sympathy for the show's producers, either. There was plenty of opportunity to hold back on some of the acceptance speeches by minor award-winners.

 

Will Smith presenting Best Picture. That's what they refer to as a "tell."

Pretty much the chalk on the all the major awards I guess.

And God, what a bloated show. Ellen has now hosted the two longest Oscar broadcasts in history.

She won't get a three-peat.
