Toondude10: Watching the Oscars

Toondude10 02.29.16	Mad Max is cleaning up the technical stuff for the most part. Already got 5 awards.
Jots 02.29.16	, okay.
Jots 02.29.16	But yeah mad max is running train 🚂💨
Hep Kat 02.29.16	I like movies because they are good. A good movie was Mad Max: Fury Road. Leonardo DiCaprio is a good actor and also should win the good actor award.
Keyblade 02.29.16	pretty much
JokineAugustus 02.29.16	Nice to see Ex Machina win best visual effects. That was a big upset
wtferrothorn 02.29.16	Mad Max was amazing, especially in the categories it's won awards in so far. Good on them
Toondude10 02.29.16	aww, Sylvester Stallone got robbed :-(
Toondude10 02.29.16	gotta say I'm surprised Ex Machina got best Visual Effects, thought for sure Mad Max was going to win that. But hey, Ex Machina was a great movie anyway so I'm not really complaining.
Xenorazr 02.29.16	Yeah, Ex Machina surprised me. People seemed to be rooting for Stallone, but I was kind of pulling for Rylance.
Tyler. 02.29.16	Leo doesn't deserve to win
Toondude10 02.29.16	Well I didn't see either Creed or Bridge of Spies but I was kinda hoping for Stallone since he's one of my favorite actors.
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	Fuck Disney. I cannot get a good stream for shit
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	Same here. Spielberg can FOAD. Also, when did the Oscars become such a blatant social rights soap box
DoctorJackal 02.29.16	Leo sucks
Toondude10 02.29.16	@Zippa thank Al Sharpton
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	So much social commentary too. Is this common? This is the first time I've bothered with the oscars
Xenorazr 02.29.16	It's because people got up in arms over there being no black nominees.
Toondude10 02.29.16	they've been complaining about that shit for years tbh
TheSonomaDude 02.29.16	Jason Freeman should've been nominated for an Oscar. But Spike Lee being butthurt that Chi-Raq didn't sweep the Oscars when it sucked is stupid. Pretty egotistical on his part. I mean, what other black roles/films were there that even had a chance, in his eyes? Straight Outta Compton, Chi-raq...maybe that Concussion movie, but Will Smith didnt get a nom because his oscar bait was way too obvious.
Hep Kat 02.29.16	the previous half-dozen comments above this one encapsulate what is wrong with society in the first world tbh
Hep Kat 02.29.16	make that the previous 7 comments smdh
Keyblade 02.29.16	cant have none of that icky social commentary challenging my views
Keyblade 02.29.16	these kids are wylin. rock's speech was poignant as fuck
zaruyache 02.29.16	Did anyone else find Spotlight to be hella underwhelming? There was no real tension or drama at all, just kinda "Oh they covered that up? Ima go talk to a guy. Oh you diddled kids? Ima write that down..." Why it got so much acclaim is beyond me.
TheSonomaDude 02.29.16	yeah
Toondude10 02.29.16	Didn't see it but I've heard a lot of good things about it
TheSonomaDude 02.29.16	Spotlight was pretty bland imo, probably the weakest along with The Martian
hogan900 02.29.16	So sad Anomalisa lost..
Toondude10 02.29.16	I thought the Martian was great, maybe not 93% on Rotten Tomatoes great but I really liked it.
Toondude10 02.29.16	@hogan Come on, you should know by now that Disney always wins Best Animated Feature.
DoctorJackal 02.29.16	the revenant better not win i swear
TheSonomaDude 02.29.16	I'm surprised Anomalisa even got a nomination, but I'm glad it did because it was a fantastic film.
zaruyache 02.29.16	nah it was super underwhelming story-wise. The animation was fantastic but the story would so bland. They needed to up the psychological elements to more effectively emphasize the whole "midlife crisis" idea.
TheSonomaDude 02.29.16	I think Inside Out was the best animated film of the year, out of the noms at least
porcupinetheater 02.29.16	Who will be the one certified and objective winner of art? STAY TUNED
Toondude10 02.29.16	Inside Out was my No. 2 movie last year. Loved the fucking shit out of it.
hogan900 02.29.16	Anomalisa was my fav next to Fury Road for last year. Something about it just completely appealed to me, it all felt so real. Inside Out was good, but idk.
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	@porcupinetheater I feel like film, in a way, is more objective than music though. But yeah, opinions
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	What a nice looking well dressed crowd of rape victims
porcupinetheater 02.29.16	@Choccy: I'm not exactly unbiased, I work as a filmmaker, but I would definitely contend that point. As forms of art, both music and film are dependent on very personal appeals to emotion, and depend on how a person is primed to connect with them. I think The Revenant is self-indulgent, tonally incoherent misery porn more interested in stroking Iñárritu's ego than putting out a film that doesn't contradict itself at every single moment of its running time. But evidently a bunch of middle aged white dudes think it's great. Art in any form is open to debate, and treating one awards show as a big event that shit tons of people use to determine quality is stupid. Same goes for Grammy's, Emmy's, Tony's, etc.
Toondude10 02.29.16	Hateful Eight got Best Original Score? Really? Didn't expect that.
Xenorazr 02.29.16	I didn't hear the score, but I really dug that sample they played. Wish I had caught the movie while it was still in theaters.
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	For instance though, you can link film and media to appeal to us through maslow's needs but in music, it doesn't quite work that way in music
Toondude10 02.29.16	Was hoping for Sicario to win that one
hogan900 02.29.16	Morel Orel is my favorite show that ever aired on Adult Swim, sucks you didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Characters were so fleshed out in the third season with some of the best development in a span of 13 short episodes.
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	Ennio Morricone. He's winning based on how much of legend he is.
porcupinetheater 02.29.16	How would you go about connecting film to the Hierarchy of needs in a way that you can't make the same argument for any other type of expression?
Toondude10 02.29.16	Lol, Sam Smith won Best Original Song
porcupinetheater 02.29.16	Update: Tom Petty wins Best Original Song
Keyblade 02.29.16	alva noto and and sakamoto's score for revenant was brilliant, was it even nominated?
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	Oh for fuck's fucking sake fuck
Toondude10 02.29.16	@Keyblade nope
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	Ffs Ali g, really?
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	Had to be a counter character to all of this social issue shit
Toondude10 02.29.16	damnit! George Miller got robbed, now The Revenant is going to win Best Picture
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	Cant see I didn't see Alejandro getting best director coming
Toondude10 02.29.16	eh true, he did do Birdman last year and that was a great movie.
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	He's an academy favorite.
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	Wtf is up with the abrupt music interrupting every speech?
Tyler. 02.29.16	Did Leo win
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	Lol they cut the music off when he mentioned skin color. "No wait this fits our theme!"
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	@Choccy: Nigga have you never watched the Oscars
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	No, and with reason because it's fucking 5 in the morning here
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	Insomnia?
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	Anyways, it's a tv show with a schedule so the speeches can only last so long. They play the music as a less-than-subtle way of telling you to shut up and get off the stage so they can carry on
Toondude10 02.29.16	okay, here we go. Best Actor up now
rufinthefury 02.29.16	pulling for Leo cuz I loved The Revenant so so much
Toondude10 02.29.16	YES HE WON!
Keyblade 02.29.16	ayy
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	Ahhh I'd say it was well deserved
Toondude10 02.29.16	and of course he makes a speech about Climate Change, thanks for ruining the moment you ass :-/ still though, he deserves it
rufinthefury 02.29.16	THE STREAK IS OVER
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	Nigga we all indigenous people of the world
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	Damn, what a speech
Keyblade 02.29.16	"and of course he makes a speech about Climate Change, thanks for ruining the moment you ass :-/" lol what is this entitled ish, it's his moment not yours
Toondude10 02.29.16	Spotlight wins Best Picture! Can't say I'm surprised
TalonsOfFire 02.29.16	Choccy seems to usually be on sput around 5 am
Keyblade 02.29.16	that's only a tiny bit creepy
TheSonomaDude 02.29.16	Okay pop culture, Leo won a fucking Oscar, now can you please shut the fuck up
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	Oh come on he deserved it. All that yelling had to be good for something
SparkToBelieve 02.29.16	Chris Rock is an ignorant racist moron.
TalonsOfFire 02.29.16	The academy probably saw the lengths DiCaprio went to in The Revenant to try to win the award, and decided to just give him the oscar so that he doesn't kill himself next time to get it.
TheSonomaDude 02.29.16	I think Ennio only won the Oscar because he's 90 and hasn't won anything, I mean 90% of the score used in Hateful Eight was recycled from The Thing anyways. John Carpenter should be sharing that shit too
TalonsOfFire 02.29.16	I just noticed that Toondude recently made like 6 detailed end-of-the-year lists and they all have 0 comments lol
wtferrothorn 02.29.16	that's cuz he blocked comments on them. idk why though
ArsMoriendi 02.29.16	It's because Toondude presets it so no one can comment.
Toondude10 02.29.16	well considering the fact that a few certain people kept shitting on my lists just for the fuck of it I decided to block the comments. Will probably disable that at some point though.
zaruyache 02.29.16	So I'm assuming Chris Rock made some sassy jokes about white people, so clearly he's a racist loooool ok. Spotlight was boring tho ugh.
Keyblade 02.29.16	pretty much all it takes to get sensitive dudes riled up
SparkToBelieve 02.29.16	he probably did make some racist white jokes. Idk, I don't watch that crap. Too busy watching FOX news...
SparkToBelieve 02.29.16	But recently in an interview he made the accusation that black people get shot more than white people by police yada yada.. It just made him look like an idiot but sadly.. most people will just believe him without fact checking
Keyblade 02.29.16	ok thnx dont ruin this thread plz
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	The whole show was essentially a desperate scream of 'we're not racist!' while being anything but
SparkToBelieve 02.29.16	TOO LATE!
SparkToBelieve 02.29.16	JK carry on
MeatSalad 02.29.16	Wouldnt witch qualify for the next show?
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	I mean that doesn't disqualify his statement.
SparkToBelieve 02.29.16	lol
ryu 02.29.16	In a parallel universe, Best actor award was Cliff Curtis in The Dark Horse. Back on planet Earth, its hard to look past Roger Deakins being snubbed again for Cinematography for Sicario.
ChoccyPhilly 02.29.16	Well in a different parallel universe, birdemic would have won best picture
ZippaThaRippa 02.29.16	In a parallel universe, the Oscars were presented by representatives of the oppressed European-American population who are indignant about being unfairly represented in the nominations
Keyblade 02.29.16	and the hegemonic african american population would be indignant about their indignation
Killerhit 02.29.16	blacks
MasBarHigeuoris21 02.29.16	I guess you guys think there are no black people on Sputnik. I'm mixed but I consider myself black. I get sick of black people bitching too but we bitch for a reason. We just go about things the wrong way.How about we stop talking about social issues and give it up to Leo for finally winning?
Calc 02.29.16	"I'm mixed but I consider myself black." weird i'm mixed and consider myself mixed. no fuking unity man
Keyblade 02.29.16	never heard a mixed person say im mixed but i consider myself white. that 1 drop rule still skrong man
NakedSnake 02.29.16	fuck Inside Out
rufinthefury 02.29.16	get the fuck out NakedSnake.
rufinthefury 02.29.16	@Keyblade I'm mixed and I call myself white. But I'm half asian not black so it's hardly the same experience.
RadicalEd 02.29.16	Wow the whole #OscarsSoWhite thing really took over the show and made it even more cringe-worthy than usual. But on the other hand I'm pretty happy with the winners this year.
Keyblade 02.29.16	ruf yea i meant half black ppl. one drop rule doesnt apply to asians or anyone else
Keyblade 02.29.16	masochist too, never 4get
Keyblade 02.29.16	smae
Keyblade 02.29.16	geasoftime damn. he was a character
Keyblade 02.29.16	his shout to brick was legendary, plz tell me one of yall still have it he was my nigga tho. good taste too
Keyblade 02.29.16	yea it reminded me of that navy seal copypasta lol
Flugmorph 02.29.16	so he got it. Let us all take a moment of silence for the memes that died today.
RadicalEd 02.29.16	Lol. Revenant was great, but even if you didn't really care for it, you gotta admit it's not his WORST flick. Think about Titanic or the horrible Romeo and Juliet adaptation.
Flugmorph 02.29.16	my fav film with him is still blood diamond sue me
RadicalEd 02.29.16	Agree on Blood Diamond tbh. But Romeo and Juliet was terrible and don't get me started on that godawful two and a half hour snooze-fest that was titanic.
Toondude10 02.29.16	Most of Dicaprio's early performances were shit tbh.
Jots 02.29.16
guitarded_chuck 02.29.16	fuck award shows i mean matt fucking damon in the martian was up for best actor f u c k o f f
guitarded_chuck 02.29.16	blood diamond is awesome he was great in that YEAH? he was dope in wolf of wall street django inception aviator gangs of new york, i mean leos the boy revenant he was dope too but the star of that movie was tom hardy tbh
CaliggyJack 02.29.16	LEO GETS THE OSCAR cue memes
guitarded_chuck 02.29.16	rip memes
zaruyache 02.29.16	Nah, the star was Tom Hardy's accent.
Mongi123 02.29.16	Toondude I don't think you realize how passionate he is about saving the environment. I expected him to do that and I'm glad he did. It's his moment and he can do whatever he wants with it. The Revenant Was consistently beautiful largely due to how amazing the various settings looked so it was pretty appropriate.
guitarded_chuck 02.29.16	just ignore him that was like the douchiest comment ive seen in all my years on mxtabs.net
rockandmetaljunkie 02.29.16	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02Wqy3eKpyQ
SparkToBelieve 02.29.16	I'm not into movies but can anytime tell me if a black actor actually deserved an Oscar? Do black people just need to do a better job or is there really suspicion of racism?
Flugmorph 02.29.16	time can tell
LotusFlower 02.29.16	its hard to tell with the academy panel because if we are to take some of their thoughts on best animated picture in 2014 in account, they might actually be racist people.
LotusFlower 02.29.16	"I only watch the ones that my kid wants to see, so I didn’t see Boxtrolls but I saw Big Hero 6 and I saw Dragon. We both connected to Big Hero 6 — I just found it to be more satisfying. The biggest snub for me was Chris Miller and Phil Lord not getting in for Lego. When a movie is that successful and culturally hits all the right chords and does that kind of box-office — for that movie not to be in over these two obscure freakin’ Chinese fuckin’ things that nobody ever freakin’ saw? That is my biggest bitch. Most people didn’t even know what they were! How does that happen? That, to me, is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen." - Actual quote from Mr. "member of the Academy's 428-member sound branch who has been nominated for an Oscar." btw, the "chinese fuckin things" are reference to Song of the Sea, which is an irish production. And Princess Kayuga, which was the latest from Studio Ghibli.
guitarded_chuck 02.29.16	"I'm not into movies but can anytime tell me if a black actor actually deserved an Oscar? Do black people just need to do a better job or is there really suspicion of racism?" that's part of it but it's also a protest for the fact non-white people usually don't get the bigger roles
SparkToBelieve 02.29.16	Nevermind I take my question back. I mean in the past 30 years the NBA only had 3 white MVPs. With the same logic as the Oscars you would have to say that the NBA is extremely racist. So at the end of the day it all comes down to talent. Or is the NBA not a good comparison to the Oscars? Not to mention there's no such thing as The White Entertainment Awards...
guitarded_chuck 02.29.16	except contracts in pro sports are based on raw performance whereas selection for provocative roles is more subjective bad logic
SparkToBelieve 02.29.16	Not bad logic. If someone is making a movie that the main role can be cast by any gender or race, youre gonna wanna lock down the most talented actor. Sure, some movies are strictly for black entertainment like Friday or Barbershop or off the wall movies and you need an actor with a really vulgar background but my biggest rebuttal for that Bob freaking Saget! One of the most vulgar comedians of his day steps down and plays Danny Tanner the most squeaky clean character in TV history!
guitarded_chuck 02.29.16	no it was definitely really, really bad logic
wtferrothorn 02.29.16	@CL0VER I think I remember reading that quote back when it first came to light, pissed me off. As someone who loves animation, the way the Oscars treat the category is like a kick in the nuts.
LotusFlower 02.29.16	It blew my mind how the panel judges hadn't even seen half the films they were voting on. shouldnt it be a requirement that the panel judges see each nominated film before voting? also, Shaun the Sheep, Anomalisa, and When Marie Was Here were all way better than Inside Out. The bias for Disney/Pixar productions blows my mind.
wtferrothorn 02.29.16	Inside Out was really great, Disney/Pixar are pretty consistent though agreed to be very overrated by the academy. However, Anomalisa was superb
SparkToBelieve 02.29.16	It's not bad logic. If you knew anything about sports you would know that your team has to be versatile. You can't just pick the players on the market with the most "raw performance" in that case you would have 12 point guards on one team which would not work. And if you wanna get even more in depth you would have to take into consideration player roles like veterans, bench players, star players, etc...
anarchistfish 02.29.16	"Not bad logic. If someone is making a movie that the main role can be cast by any gender or race, youre gonna wanna lock down the most talented actor." this isn't logic lol this is demonstrably and obviously false
LotusFlower 02.29.16	I didnt like Inside Out all that much, outside of the humor and dialogue... the actual story was just kinda average. Almost all the other nominees were way better.
anarchistfish 02.29.16	yah i didn't get the hype
JeetJeet 02.29.16	They did Sicario dirty. Straight up did that movie dirty. One of the best movies to come out last year.
Toondude10 02.29.16	Mad Max should've won Best Picture
Toondude10 02.29.16	They did Sicario dirty [2]
jtswope 02.29.16	"They did Sicario dirty. Straight up did that movie dirty. One of the best movies to come out last year." Definitely one of the best yeah.
JeetJeet 02.29.16	I'm glad Leo won tho. Dude ate raw bison liver, slept in a carcass, and braved winter without chapstick. That's dedication.
LotusFlower 02.29.16	man, i do 2/3 things daily. wheres my oscar.
JeetJeet 02.29.16	Lmaoooo
DoctorJackal 03.02.16	great dedication doesn't equate to great acting
Apollo 03.02.16	"They did Sicario dirty. Straight up did that movie dirty. One of the best movies to come out last year." what the fuck are you even on about? haha
JeetJeet 03.02.16	I'm saying the movie got snubbed hard as fuck.
