It's the most wonderful time of the year
Streep's third Oscar speech is my go to reference to represent with the Oscars are all about.
It's midnight in Australia. I can't sleep. Good thing that! Looking forward to the noms. Also looking for a weapon to use if Carol misses out.
Alan Rickman's passing is a sad way to begin what is often the most wonderful time of the year.
Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy morn.
I will be furious if the Academy goes for ALL hitmakers in Best Original Song. We deserve a lineup that is JUST as weird and boring as always—JUSTICE FOR MADONNA. If Sam Smith manages a nomination I'll claw my eyes out.
Seriously, music branch. Don't let me down.
Here we go! I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
Looking at the comments feed on the YouTube stream is painful...... I've probably seen about ten "GAGA FOR BEST ACTRESS"-esque comments so far.
*claws eyes out*
No Going Clear!
Hayden W. - I've already clawed my eyes out. It's the laziest Best Original Song nominee I can think of in recent memory.
Well, Carol is doing well so far (hope I don't jinx it) and MMFR is doing amazingly well. The only thing that stings so far is that snub in Costume for Brooklyn :(
World of Tomorrow and Look of Silence making it in are pure triumphs.
Cannot believe The Revenant squeezed out a Costumes nod.
Sam Smith?! Noooooooo.
Part 2 now.
Phyllis!
No Carol.
No Todd, no best picture for Carol :( Kill me now.
Sorry guys.
Rampling and Leigh got in!
Supporting Actress is COMPLETELY fucked up.
Charlotte Rampling! Tom Hardy! Props to Nathaniel.
And so category fraud prevails.
I was genuinely hopeful that this years nominations would offer up something different.
Apart from all the MAD MAX love I'm so disappointed.
LIVID. LIVID. HOW COULD THEY NOMINATE CAROL FOR THOSE AWARDS AND NOT BEST PICTURE. ESPECIALLY GIVEN WHAT GOT IN. LIVID.
no CAROL.
seriously FUCK YOU academy FUCK YOU
Oscars so white again!
did ridley scott miss?
Oh my god no Carol :(
They category fraud the hell out of supporting actress to make room for..... Jennifer Lawrence?! Ugh, guess now I have to watch Joy.
Oscars so white part 2
No nom for Carol or Todd Haynes. Fuck.
Although I am pleasantly SHOCKED Lenny Abrahamson managed to squeeze a best director nom over Ridley Scott.
Pretty pissed off that Rooney and Alicia category frauded their way into supporting actress. Ugh. And I totally predicted that Tom Hardy nomination! They clearly loved the film.
How could Carol get so many noms and not land in Best Director/Picture?
And seeing Tom Hardy nominated I just knew it was going to be full tilt The Revenant. Between him and Mark Ruffalo, who chews the scenery the most in each movie?
Yay!
Charlotte Rampling
Brooklyn
Nay!
No Carol for picture and directing
Too much love for The Revenant
Writing's on the Wall?
I think I'm gonna cry. What has Todd gotta do to get a nom?
re: Carol, just remember....
BAFTA, the Golden Globes and New York Film Critics Circle
So happy for Rampling and Jason Leigh... And not so happy for Lawrence being nominated once again just for being Jennifer Lawrence.
Extremely disappointed but not totally surprised Carol didn't make it where it should've. Cannot believe they let BOTH Rooney and Vikander slide in Supporting Actress tho.
I was fully bracing for a Tremblay nod in Actor after it got Best Director.
That Straight Outta Compton Screenplay nod tho. LOLOLOLOL.
Sandy Powell scores double nods again!
The Revenant COMPLETELY cleaned up, damn.
Definitely some disappointments, but I'm trying to stay positive...
Charlotte Rampling. And no Helen Mirren. Praise.
No Tarantino!
I actually got actor, actress, and supporting actress right! Happy about the screenplay noms, but production design makes no sense to me Also 50 shades of Grey is now an Academy Award nominated movie
P.S. Brokesboy- you and I should get together and watch Duel in the Sun in honor of Jennifer Jones who is no longer the youngest 4 time nominee
so white
so hetero
so MANLY
i'm ***SICK*** of AMAS
I was about to post that John Magaro and Tom Hardy are both in two best picture nominees, but then I remembered that Carol did not make it in. =(
I really thought the Academy would call foul on the egregious category fraud for both Mara and Vikander. They are obviously leads!
no one can ever bitch about about the HFPA again. They've proven their tastes are FAR superior to the Academys yet again
My brain is honestly incapable of rationalizing Rachel McAdams getting nominated for Spotlight.
Did anyone else notice how weird the announcement for Straight Outta Compton's screenplay nomination was? It easily received the most applause in the room (what the hell?) and John Krasinski said "Well deserved!" or something along those lines afterward....
These nominations could have been worse. 2015 was uninspiring and the precursors from the critics to the establishment sort of ruined everything for group think Oscar voters.
Some of these noms are as fucked up as Cheryl Boone Isaac's pronunciation of "Iñárritu."
Best Actor is totally weaksauce, yet again. Are they even trying?
JLaw is up to FOUR now. Insane. IN. SANE.
Lady Gaga?? LAWD.
Fassbender scores his FIRST Best Actor nod. For Steve Jobs ugh.
Ex Machina manifests itself in only a couple categories.
Foreign Language Film looks as good as it was going to. Mustang!
Well that was overall disappointing. Too much macho, too much mediocrity, too much same old same old (esp in the acting categories). But there's some good stuff in there, too. That's the Oscars for you, I'll still be watching, as usual.
Thrilled that Charlotte Rampling got in - Jennifer Lawrence - not great.
Brooklyn - Yay - got best adapted screenplay, BP, and best actress. Team Ronan.
Bad:
Category Fraud succeeds for both Mara and Vikander - I hope they both lose to either JJL or KW. I don't want to see either of them win.
No Carol for picture and directing - remember history will be kinder to "Carol" than the Academy
The Revenant got way too many nominations - now we have to hope that this initial infatuation starts to balance out over the next month.
That Tom Hardy nomination is a "Mad Max was great, here's Jacob Tremblay's spot" gift from the academy.
I was feeling a Star Wars BP nomination there for a minute...
8 of the 20 nominees are first-timers, each category has a previous winner, 5th straight film for Inarritu to get an acting nominee. That's now 10 nominees from his films.
4th nomination in 5 years for JLaw.
4 out of 5 first time nominees in Best Director
Speilberg now holds the record for most producing nominations ever with 9.
Cheryl Boone Isaacs's had a less mortifying "Dick Poop" moment trying to pronounce Innaritu's name. There should be a wager next year which name she will mangle.
Well, I'll take the small victories ... Brooklyn in Best Pic, Rampling, Straight Outta Compton in Screenplay, the Mad Max love, A War in Foreign Language, Lenny Abrahamson in Directing, all of the Documentary nominees (all deserving), no Helen Mirren, and ... ummmm ... ummm ......
no blacks, no gays in best picture but yay for women
Guy Lodge and the minions at Gold Derby you worship Lawrence are incredibly pleased she's up to four Oscar nominations and she has a long ways to go before she's 30 years of age! Bitch.
