87th Academy Awards viewing thread

Saw the Live Action and Animated shorts last week. Didn’t get to see the Doc shorts.

Sally Hawkins & Jim Broadbent (his voice) were both brilliant.

STOP WITH THE MUSIC PLAYING OFF! He was saying something really important.

Same two with Doc short. Crisis will win.

I was right!

Equipoise you are such a movie girl! Lol (missing Jason Bateman’s childhood TV career) :slight_smile:

Dear God, someone shoot the director!

What are those weird fuzzy things attacking that poor woman’s dress?

Great quip re balls on dress.

What was he in?

A stunning Viola Davis telling about awards that weren’t deemed worthy of prime time.

Hey, they had a distinguished audience, though.

“Oh sure, NOW you like him” made me laugh out loud. (David O who played MLK in Selma and I can’t spell his last name.

Gweneth Paltrow introducing the song from the Glen Campbell documentary. Tim MacGraw sings.

Didn’t they use to give the Hersholt Award during the regular show? Or am I misremembering?

Damn, I love Gwenyth’s dress.

Awe fuck. Glen Campbell.

I didn’t know.

Tim did Glen Campbell proud. The clip I’ve seen of Glen Campbell singing it is heartbreaking.

Seriously NPH? I mean, it’s great that you’ve been hitting the gym and all, but come on…

Ok, I really l liked that Birdman/Whiplash bit.

Embarrassing Birdman takeoff leads to Margot Robie and Miles Tellar showing highlights of the Scientific and Technical Awards, which they hosted.

Tightie-whities!

If you saw Birdman, this will make more sense.

But yeah, theatre folk rank pretty low on the “personal modesty” scale. You usually can’t afford to, with quick changes and folks in and out of the dressing rooms and whatnot … but he’s got it, so he can flaunt it!

Me too.

Little House on the Prairie, Silver Spoons and Valerie. Also one-off appearances here and there and I think commercials. His sister Justine is also a child star. She was in Family Ties.
