Can't believe there has been no talk of the Oscars here.  Did anyone here watch.  What did you think of who and what movies won.  I don't think I've seen any that were in the running for to movie, actor, actress, director.

I watched.  I'm very happy for Guellermo Del Toro.  I'm hoping last night's awards gives him a lot more power in Hollywood to do whatever he wants.

Didn't watch. Am happy Del Toro won, but Paul Thomas Anderson really needs to win at some point.

watched the last hour or so - a few good quips and some entertaining moments

even I thought the "girl power" stuff got a little over-the-top at moments, but I understand why it was that way this year.

I saw a quip on Twitter that was pretty funny, they renamed Shape of Water to Grinding Nemo  :)

Haven't watched the circle-jerk Oscars in years and see no reason to change that. All of Hollywood, like the music industry and even D.C., is filled with self-important, clueless people who have one hand patting their own back while the other is sliding up the dress of someone else's wife.

And I'm not really that bitter, I just enjoyed the mini-rant   O0

I think he was referring to the politicians and not the bureaucrats.

Haha, yes. This was all a fly-by exhibition of snarkiness on my part anyway. I try to not miss taking a shot at Hollywood, elected politicians or the music industry.  Considering my wife works for the V.A., I gotta give government employees the benefit of the doubt  8)

Some anyway.....

Yeah, I just need to remind everyone that some of us are stranded here in this place you so accurately described.  :D

I'm glad Sam Rockwell won best supporting actor. If you can, check him out in the 2009 Scifi film 'Moon' (directed by David Bowie's son, Duncan Jones), where excepting a few videos and an AI voiceover, Rockwell is the only actor on set during the entire movie.

BTW, in the film, the Moon station's AI is voiced by Kevin Spacey. Hindsight is creepy sometimes...

Moon is excellent and tragically underrated.
