Well, so much for me saying that Everest would get a lot of nominations.

I'm shocked and pleasantly surprised that Fury Road has been nominated. It seems like the type of movie the Oscars would turn their nose up at.

Yes! Tommy Wiseau is finally get his due 13 years after it's original release!!

[Burke]

The Revenant is great. I hope it wins best picture. It was worthy of being nominated for the bear scene alone.

[Burke]

What do you all think about the All-White Oscars controversy?

The last time he hosted he told some jokes that made people in the audience uncomfortable. I imagine this time they'll be squirming in their chairs even more.

Matt Damon To Leonardo DiCaprio: You Don't Have To Try So Hard To Make An Award-Winning Movie

"Every night at 6 o'clock, the horn blew and Ridley and I went to dinner. And that's how you make a movie, and we finished the film really early and we saved 2 million bucks. And Leo – we weren't cold at all. I'm just sayin'. There's another way to do it."

Ddddd.

Well, I saw both films and The Revenant was better, so.

For the first time ever I'm going to try watch all the Best Picture nominees before the actual ceremony takes place. I've already seen Bridge of Spies, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, The Revenant and I watched Room last night. So that leaves The Big Short, Brooklyn and Spotlight to watch in the next two days.

As of now I'm pullling for The Revenant for Best Picture, Leo for Best Actor and Brie Larson for Best Actress.

EDIT: I typed "The Room" instead of Room at first. Tarry's comment earlier in the thread has clearly been playing with my mind.

[Burke]

Leo did it! I'm glad he and Brie Larson won the main acting awards. She was great in Room.

Spotlight was good for what it was but it's the type of movie I'd probably never rewatch. I was pulling for The Revenant.

I failed in my goal to watch all the main nominees. Brooklyn and The Big Short were the two I missed. I couldn't bring myself to watch Brooklyn because it just looked like the exact opposite of a movie I'd enjoy and I'll probably watch The Big Short at some point but I'm in no hurry.

Oh, and I haven't seen that movie Alicia Vikander won Best Supporting Actress for but I loved her in Ex Machina. She could easily have gotten nominated for that too.

- Dustin Lance Black Wants Fellow Oscar Winner Sam Smith to Stop Texting His Fiancé Tom Daley

Some feuds develop slowly, over the course of many, many moons. You see the temperature between two people—people who often begin as friends—rise until it reaches its feuding point. The lid pops off, the relationship boils over, and we all saw it coming.

Other feuds—arguably the more entertaining ones—appear without warning, like a Beyoncé album or a Best Picture Oscar for Spotlight. You're left dumbfounded, but blissful, as I was when Dustin Lance Black tweeted this early Monday morning:

If this tweet doesn't immediately make sense to you, allow me to provide some context.

While accepting his Oscar for the decade's worst nominated song last night, Sam Smith (who apparently thinks researching what you say to an audience of 50 million people is a waste of time) suggested he was the first openly gay person to win an Oscar. He's not, though. Not by a long shot! Though Smith attempted to correct himself later, saying he thought he was the "second" openly gay Oscar winner (you're honestly going to stand there as a gay musician and forget Stephen Fucking Sondheim and Elton Fucking John?!), the damage had already been done. And by the time everyone was several bottles deep into their after party celebrations, openly gay Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black began what is now the early frontrunner for Best Feud of 2016.

Black, who won an Oscar for writing 2008's Milk, sent Smith a video of his acceptance speech, as well as a suggestion to stop texting his fiancé, Olympian swimmer Tom Daley.

Mr. Daley, if you read this, I'd appreciate some screenshots of every text from Sam you received after 2:00 AM this morning.

Sam Smith has such an annoying face.

[Burke]

I love Chris Rock.

Will and Jada must be seething.

[Astrozombie]

I can't stand Sam Smith or his awful music. What a tool.

[Burke]

That song he won for was awful.

I hate to say it but Lady Gaga probably should've won that award.
