2016 Academy Awards (Oscars) - Ceremony & Red Carpet

[orbitz]

Oh I feel bad for Stallone. His loss reminds me of when Lauren Bacall lost the Supporting Actress when she was heavily favored to win.

 

[my little pony]

the death roll call always makes me feel so old and sad

 

[IceAlisa]

SNAPE!!!

 

[jenny12]

Lovely from Dave Grohl.

I really would have loved to see Gena Rowlands receive an honorary Oscar. Incredible actress.

 

[aftershocks]

^^ Yes, I wanted to see the honorary award presented to Lauren Bacall, but that was the first year those genre of awards were not televised on the regular broadcast.

A figure skating commercial!

 

[Spareoom]

Alan Rickman
Leonard Nimoy

 

[my little pony]

i found both of these kids more compelling than over half of the nominees

 

[Maofan7]

Leo may be starting to feel a little nervous. Stutterer, another outsider, wins for Best Live Action Short Film

 

[my little pony]

i hope fred is excited with his win

 

[peibeck]

There's the Irish win for @allezfred

 

[my little pony]

i only saw son of saul. for a movie where the outcome was very expected, i was somehow on the edge of my seat.

 

[aftershocks]

Yes, it is sad. I didn't realize Robert Loggia had passed. And some of those who passed were not that old.

Joe Biden? I didn't know he was going to be on the Oscars. Okay, he's talking about sexual abuse.

 

[oleada]

Awww I would have loved Colombia to win but as per my sister's BF Son of Saul was much better.

 

[Allskate]

I'm sure it's a very good film, but I don't know if I can stomach seeing "Son of Saul."

Poor Lauren. She lost out to Juliette Binoche, when The English Patient swept the board back in 1997

Rylance's acting piece in Bridge of Spies was so stunningly subtle, great award.

I'm so happy for Mark Rylance, one of the best actors I've ever watched on screen. It's great when subtlety is rewarded. Sometimes I feel that the Academy favours performances in which actors dramatically change their physical appearance in one way or the other. Surely it is at least as difficult to portray a character by just acting?

 

[Allskate]

It took me a minute to understand why Biden was talking about sexual abuse on campus during the Oscars.

ETA: That was a powerful moment when the survivors came out.

What a year for Lady GaGa.

 

[VGThuy]

I know this song has a serious subject matter, but this song sounds like a James Bond reject song...or what Spectre should have been.

 

[Jimena]

Very happy about Mark Rylance.

 

[my little pony]

based on the songs i've heard tonight, i gotta go with the weird hairstyle with the aerialist

 

[peibeck]

Who would've thought Lady Gaga would have stolen the show at the Oscars two years in a row?

 

[topaz]

The icon named Lady Gaga.

Her voice sounded so supreme and so good. I'm proud of her.

 

[mtnskater]

I am so uninspired by the movies Hollywood is putting out these days. It all just seems so corporate or something. Where are ground breaking films that really make people think or inspire them and really expand the mind? I've had it with guns, guns, guns, violence, explosions and all the depressing Hollywood drech. My favorite category for the last number of years has been Best Foreign Film. Hoping for some good ones there!

 

[vesperholly]

Mark Rylance was really, really great in Wolf Hall.

Every movie this year in the best foreign film category is about war, so good luck ...

Mark Rylance was really, really great in Wolf Hall.

He was also great in The Other Boleyn Girl

This. Rylance has more talent in his pinkie than Stalline has in his whole body

 

[VGThuy]

Although I wouldn't be mad if Brie Larson won as I think she gave a deserving performance, I'm still hoping for Saoirse Ronan to pull off an upset.
