Oscars 2015
Of the winners, I have only seen The Imitation Game, which I am glad it won best screenplay based on previously written material
Otherwise, I really cant' comment other than to say I like Neil Patrick Harris and his hosting

I still think The Lego Movie deserved a nomination, and even the award. That's pretty much my only opinion.
I have been robbed of my rightful secret moderator powers! Vote here to help me get them back!
I’ve never had anything to do with the Oscars, last year was the first time I’d ever watched them and this year I didn’t watch except for the very end. I was interested in seeing the winners though, but not as in invested interest, just because it’s news.
I only had two takeaways of my own:
I join the rest of the world that was speechless by the unfathomable snub of The Lego Movie. I think it could have legitimately contended for best picture, it was a given for best animated, but didn’t get even nominated for either? What an absolute joke.
And the other is that I have never pretended to have any idea how the Academy works, but this just confirms that cluelessness.

Not only did it not win, obviously, but it wasn’t even nominated. I do not understand; everything in this movie was computer generated!bookworm wrote:I’ve never tried to predict Oscar winners before because I have no idea what goes through the minds of the Academy when they’re looking for nominees, but I am calling this one right now. This film [Noah] wins the 2015 award for Best Visual Effects. It’s a lock.
Did you see Interstellar though? The special effects in it were amazing, and it deserved the award.bookworm wrote:I’ve never had anything to do with the Oscars, last year was the first time I’d ever watched them and this year I didn’t watch except for the very end.

I did not see Interstellar, but that’s not the point. I’m sure it deserved to win, because it did, my confusion is how can a movie that was literally 98% special effects not even be nominated?
I'm not sure, but then again the Oscar's barely ever make any sense. =Pbookworm wrote:I did not see Interstellar, but that’s not the point. I’m sure it deserved to win, because it did, my confusion is how can a movie that was literally 98% special effects not even be nominated?

I heard about the opening song so I looked it up; that was cool.
And J.K. Simmons’ speech was pretty great.
