Hoping neither SNL, Will & Grace nor Modern Family happen. They’re beyond generous with these shows.

He should submit in lead. I don’t think he’ll win but he would deserve it.

I think that’s the point of her character. She lives a very bland life and her deadpan delivery is what makes her great, especially if it’s an unexpected one-liner.

Passion votes is what gets people like Nicholson, Streep, Washington and Day-Lewis nominated. They’ll get multiple Oscars in a small couple of years if preferential voting applies (not opposed to Washington though). Voters do not reflect audiences (not even if the movies have outstanding reviews), critics (even if the movies have great box o…[Read more]

What? LOL

Seriously, I’m asking for real: What the heck does Oprah has to do with what we’re discussing? Is this some sort of US pop culture game à la “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon”, in this case “When in doubt, mention Oprah”?

I’d say just as funny as Jimmy Fallon and Neil Patrick Harris (not at all) but not the rest (and that’s not really a high bar).

And who have been called out last night?

Did only last night count? Not previous years or other ceremonies?

A lot of people could call them out and a lot did. What they need is a funny host, which Ricky Gervais is not. In the slightest.

What a season premiere. It was hilarious, sad and weird as heck. I don’t know how you can throw in that type of opening scene, a myth about a Florida Man (LMFAO) and a alligator locked in a room (!) and make such a great episode. The writing is beyond terrific. I like this episode much more than I liked the entirety of season 1.

I wasn’t talking about anything in particular because everything (even when they’re talking about frontrunners) sounds made up or in the same tone as people on these forums, or Indiewire’s or AwardsDaily’s. Also, being a reputable website does not mean anything if you’re quoting anonymous sources. Sasha’s “contacts” and “sources” sound at times…[Read more]

Why people take so much consideration into this? First, it’s a very small number of people (which doesn’t make a difference) and second, the only one who was probably real was the first one and it was because there were some possible suspects (and it still was very disputable if it was an actual person).

These are not much different than what has been going on all season long. I wonder how many people have seen the movies they were voting for (my opinion: not many).

Those “anonymous voters” sound less believable than the stories of that Sasha guy.
