Los Angeles is uncommonly windy at the moment. Dorothy Gale windy even. Nature Attacks!
But nevertheless I'm off to the airport to fly home to NYC after quite a fun busy week of Oscar buzz and AFI festivities. We'll catch up on anything we missed (surely a lot) in the next couple of days. In the meantime please to enjoy tweets that amused us most this week.
Beginning with this hilarity from Ryan Adams and moving on to Golden Globe categorization thoughts, Charlotte Rampling praise, Bradley Cooper schadenfreude and more after the jump...

One of the most disturbing aspects of ROOM? Realizing that the shed they're in is about the same size as my NYC studio apartment...

AND A FEW WELL TIMED NOTES ON CATEGORIZATION HIJINX
Carell is in BIG SHORT for about 30 mins and going lead. Vikander, Mara, Tremblay own their entire movies and are going supporting. Sure.

I'm kinda fine with the Globes calling The Martian a comedy? Come at me.

In fairness to The Martian, there are a number of disco songs in it, so it also qualifies as a musical.

The truth is HFPA should just do away with the submission process entirely. Decide for themselves from the start.
