Sméagol Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 So.. I don't actually care about the Oscars, but I had nothing better to do at that moment (well I did, I should´ve gone to bed, anyway..), so I watched the boring show. It was amusing to see some people eat pizza though. Gravity won some prizes, which is cool. I happened to see Gravity for a 2nd time the night before, because of the Oscar buzz it was rereleased for a few days. I mainly wanted to express my disappointment in missing the highlight of the show: Idina Menzel singing Let it go. I´m glad she won, and from the few short clips I see on Youtube it looked and sounded amazing, unfortunately I can´t find a good clip of the whole performance. I missed the last hour of the show or so, because I had to go. Looking forward to see some Oscar nominated / winning films though. Most of them are still being shown in the cinemas here.. I should have seen most of them already, but I haven´t been to the cinema much lately, after the film festival. I´ll have some catching up to do, and I intend to see things like Nebraska, 12 years a slave, Dallas buyers club (Matthew McConaughey seems to be on a roll), and Her. I can also confirm La grande belleza and Blue Jasmin are excellent.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Highlight of the night was when Jennifer Lawrence fell...AGAIN. I was happy Let It Go won an oscar. I love the song and have actually just been listening to the Frozen soundtrack on the way in to work.
Dog-amoto Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I think he'll be found not guilty. He seems to have a good defence team and it'll be ruled as an accidental death.

Agent Gibbs Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I'm surprised to see Leonardo DiCaprio didn't win an Oscar again! the Wolf of Wall Street was a spectacular film and the best comedy i've seen for years, but then do comedys ever win awards?
bob Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 The Oscars will always be a massive joke for me until they make the people who vote a bit more representative of the general population. Having said that Let It Go is awesome and deserved to win.
Charlie Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I'm surprised to see Leonardo DiCaprio didn't win an Oscar again! the Wolf of Wall Street was a spectacular film and the best comedy i've seen for years, but then do comedys ever win awards? He didn't deserve to win it for playing Jordan Belfort. There were far better performances again this year, unfortunately for Leo. Wolf of Wall Street was a great film but it wasn't up there with 12 Years a Slave or Dallas Buyers Club.
Cube Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I have no interest in any of the winners, apart from Frozen. It's nice to see Let it Go win, though.
Charlie Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I watched that earlier, absolutely fantastic performance, she's got such a great voice.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 She sounded like she was nervous. Then again, she did very well for her first time performing it; I mean, imagine being called out at the last second ... well done, Adele Dazeem, well done. It's too bad Idina couldn't make it.
Jonnas Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 This was an interesting year for Oscars. I actually watched most of the nominated films this year, so it was more interesting to see which way the awards were going. 12 Years a Slave was definitely a shoe-in for best movie, deservedly. I really need to watch Dallas Club, though. Leo's performance in Wolf of Wall Street was phenomenal, thought for sure he would win.
bob Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Wait, is that Idina Menzel or not? I swear they call her both names...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Wait, is that Idina Menzel or not? I swear they call her both names... It is. Travolta simply botched her name, a fact which has now become a meme of its own.
Sméagol Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Someone still has to explain Dog-amoto´s post.. As far as I know everyone survived the Oscars.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I believe the reference is to the case of Oscar Pistorius.
