Feast was so wonderful. Glad it won. At least the animation categories got one right… ---

Dammit. Feast was cute, but the Dam Keeper was lovely. ---

Zoe Saldana and The Rock present Animated Feature. How To Train Your Dragon 2 will win. The Lego Movie should win. Oh, wait… Loved NPH’s joke about distracting the Lego movie people during this award. WOAH! Big Hero 6!! Great, I loved that! Never thought it had a chance though. ---

HAIRY BABY! IT WON. I liked LEGO more but BH6 was very deserving in its own right. ---

> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > Glad I’m not the only one who just calls him Peeta. I know he has a brother but I’m not entirely sure of their last name, their first names, or which is which.

It was great! Oh, I’m glad! I agree that Chloe (I’ll get her name right one of these days) needed to keep her hands out of her pockets. ---

I really, really, really, did not need to see NPH in his undies. WTF??? Beside that, he’s doing a dud of a job, IMO. Get someone more dynamic and funny next year. ---

The wife and I don’t understand the rage about _The Lego Movie_. We watched it last year and found it mediocre. Guess you have to be a certain young-ish age to get it. ---

So which time zones are left out? “Close to 24 time zones around the world…” That’s almost all of them, right? ---

Siam, I’m a middle-aged lady who never owned a Lego in her life, and I loved it. Chris Pratt and Felicity Jones present Production Design. Grand Budapest Hotel! (so glad Mr. Turner was nominated) Grand Budapest has won more Oscars than any other movie so far. ---

I love the backgrounds they put together for the production design nominees. Really neat, detailed, and showed a lot of thought put into them.
