85th Academy Awards viewing thread

If Playbook wins a major award, will this be the 1st comedic Oscar since Palance in City Slickers? What about before that?

Limping. Hurt her ankle or foot or something. That’s why she had that unpleasant scowl and lack of interest in anything going on around her.

That ankle’s been hurting a loooong time.

Least surprising result of of the night. Skyfall wins for best song. Adele looks a bit drunk.

Stop kissing everybody and get to thanking, Adele.

Da-DUM.

Da-DUM.

Da-DUM-da-DUM-da-DUM…

I think it’s the first time a Bond theme has ever won Best Song!

Love Adele. Acceptance is always short and sweet.

The Artist won Best Picture, Director, and Actor just last year. It’s pretty unequivocally a comedy.

How can someone with such a beautiful singing voice sound like nails on a chalkboard when she speaks? Weird.

Adele’s hair and makeup are great, but damn, that’s a bad dress.

That’s as un-scrunched as the scientists could do without something popping, and her swallowing her own face.

Frances McDormand won for Fargo in '96 (if you want to count that as comedic).

Um…Shakespeare in Love?

Man, I hated that Diet Coke commercial. Poor guy is working his ass off and accidentally drenches himself and is now sweaty and sticky.

The previous versions of that Coke commercial had the can rolling into the mower, and the prankster women having their faces shredded by flying aluminum. Safety first, people!

Poor Renee has always had a freaky face. Y’all just noticing that?

Diet Coke doesn’t dry sticky. No sugar.

“The more you know.”

Marisa Tomei?

Is he that short, or is she just that tall?

How come they’re using people several times? Don’t like it.

Disappointed we didn’t get a “This is fucking amazing!” from Adele, but it was fun to see her up there. All the songs were pretty good though.

Scarlett missed out on the Avengers gathering AND performing (at least part) of her song live. Isn’t that what the Red Eye is for? Understudies? She’ll be kicking herself some years down the line. She has a beautiful voice.
