Still sticking to my opinion. I think Amores Perros is his best film and a really great one as well. I also think with every film after that the quality dropped progressively, to the point where now he's making pure superficial form without content. I see his inspirations, but I don't think he understands them. Maybe the Hollywood embrace did him a disservice as an artist and lost his way. Given the amazing cinema that happens in Mexico, I think to myself maybe it would've been a better environment for him.

Poor Diane Warren is probably never going to get to win now..
A bunch of folks burning with dismissive judgment refusing to give a fuck about a below-the-line award.

I would've preferred if George Miller won as well but the Iñárritu hate here is quite silly. He is extremely talented and The Revenant was an amazing film.
However, Sam Smith winning for that atrocious song was really annoying to watch (and hear).

Damn it, this year I thought I would like the Best Picture winner. I watched the majority of the nominees and would have been ok with either but then they give it to the one movie for which I'll likely never can muster up enough interest to watch it.

So he's a timeless masterpiece who is loved by critics and all who truly appreciate the artform he works in, respected by his peers, but hated by a bunch of angry people who spend all their time on internet forums?
That's it, I'm banning you
in my mind.
Think about what you have done here.

They look more like they're just generally unpleasant/unhappy. Would they have a reason to be specifically upset with that woman?

I just want to give a big "fuck you" to the Academy for denying Stallone a Oscar.
This guy has made more to bring people to the cinema and appreciate movies than most people in the indutsry. And he deserved this award. But no, you had to find a way to kiss Spielberg ass.
Fuck you.
(Happy for Leo).

I feel like Gags and her will stick together and release a movie song each year.
I see people barely acknowledging a winner was even announced, glaring up and down at this woman as she walks by, and finally reluctantly giving her a courtesy clap.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Just was thinking again on Sam Smith's comment on being the first openly gay man winning an Oscar for music but then it came to me that Sir Elton John won for the Lion King lol
Don't destroy bis little world! Just a few weeks ago he was shocked that racism was still around.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
And Dennis Muren took home Oscars five years in a row. ('81-'85 ceremonies)

Dustin Lance Black also threw some shade at Sam Smith as he won Best Original Screenplay in 2009 and then went to accuse Sam Smith of the below:
"if you have no idea who I am, it may be time to stop texting my fiancé."
Ouch.
And didn't Dustin Lance Black win a while ago, for Milk?

Can't believe that Mark Rylance won over Stallone. What a joke.
Yes, I saw both Bride of Spies and Creed.
and you thought Stallone was better than Rylance? Yikes
Here's the difference, Revenant is a good movie. Crash, is a heavy handed piece of shit
Reverent wasn't a bad movie but it was formulaic. Leo Tom and great cinematography were what made it watchable.
Goddammit, Huff Post... That's embarassing lol

Man, I feel bad for Sly. I think he was totally expecting to win.
I think Michael Keaton felt the same way last year.

There was nothing that I would call acting from Rylance in Bride of Spies. He just put up a sad puppy face the entire time and said his dialog. I don't see where there is actual skill needed to do that.

Seeing James Horner on the In Memoriam felt weird. It's like; he's not suppose to die.
When I see that segment, I always end up going, "Wait, what?! He's dead?!"
I read up on James Horner and then I remembered hearing about it last year.
I always end up getting shocked twice.
How come Morricones Oscar history looks like this:
where are all his Westerns? The Thing? Once upon a Time in America?

Lol. Stallone already has an Oscar. And they didn't give an Oscar to Spielberg they gave it to Rylance who was fantastic

Ex Machina winning Visual Effects over Mad Max and Star Wars is absolutely ridiculous, what the fuck?
Other than that, good awards.
