I enjoyed The Grand Budapest Hotel!!!! A very fun lead in to the Super Bowl three weeks ago today.

 

[Tina_H_V]

I called this one for Birdman!!!!! I hope it wins the end of the night!!!!!! All the way from Keaton to Inarritu and beyond!!!!

 

[Craig S]

Lubezki's 2nd win in a row. Can't argue with either.


And another loss for Roger Deakins. I wonder if he even bothers showing up anymore...

 

[Wayne_j]

Birdman for cinematography was my 2nd choice so I'm still happy. I preferred the masterfully done b&w Academy ratio in Ida.

So did I. I'm not a huge Wes Anderson fan but I loved GBH.

Here comes the In Memoriam segment.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Will they finish with Williams or Hoffman?

 

[Aaron Silverman]

H. R. Geiger! Nice!


I was just listening to To Mega Therion earlier today.

 

[Tina_H_V]

Ruby better be in this list!!! Good!!! She was!!!

 

[Aaron Silverman]

HOLY SCHNIKES THEY LEFT OFF PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN!!!


Did they mention him last year? I guess the In Memoriam segment is not calendar-year-based.

 

[Craig S]

Hoffman was in last year's list.

 

[Michael Elliott]

What an AWFUL In Memoriam segment. Can't they either announce during the commercial break to applaud for everyone or just hold it until the end? So many "legends" didn't even get a single applause because, I'm guessing, no one in the crowd knew who they were. And really? Do we need Hudson out there?

 

[Tina_H_V]

Will they finish with Williams or Hoffman?

I remember Mr. Hoffman being in last year's list since he passed before the ceremonies in early February.

 

[Craig S]

I'm sure they do ask the audience to hold applause. There were only a few smatterings here and there. Not that bad, IMO.


But yeah, I've never understood the post-memoriam song. Just fade to black, hold for a few seconds, and go to commercial.

 

[Chris Will]

Some will disagree but, that is a segment they could shorten, then maybe they could shows some clips for the technical awards like sound, visual fx etc instead of just title cards.

Or just stop worrying about the shows length, it has never bothered me.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

I figure at this point it's a given that you're supposed to hold your applause during In Memoriam.


On a happier note, that ad for Blackish was EPIC! (Good show, too.)

 

[Craig S]

Editing. This is Whiplash vs Birdman.


Woo hoo!! Number three for Whiplash!!

 

[Wayne_j]

Whiplash wins another one.
