That speech was somehow simultaneously incredibly sweet and incredibly narcissistic. I loved it.
Haven’t seen Dallas Buyer’s Club yet, but McConaughey is great in True Detective right now on HBO. Definitely worth a watch.
Any doubt it’s going to be 12 Years a Slave?
not now.
“12 Years…” for Best Pic. Alright, alright, alright.
i really thought for a second gravity would get it.
There goes my last shot at the pool.
Damn, I was kind of pulling for Gravity. I couldn’t bring myself to see 12 Years.
Brad Pitt accepting?
So American Hustle was shut out?
Looks like the biggest hustle was making us believe the movie was Oscar worthy
Yeah, he won the Oscar for producing it.
he was a producer.

Anyone catch that one of the head writers (first billed actually) was Al Gore’s daughter?
IMO one of the better Oscar telecasts of recent years. Enjoyed the commentary, as always. Off to bed.
Hm, a lot of upset in certain circles for the two actor awards (and their whole film, actually). Interesting.
I never thought it made much sense that Best Director and Best Picture don’t go together. If the best director didn’t direct the best picture then what was he best at directing? Traffic?
