Tonight are the Oscars! They're happening right now in fact.

Thus far

Christoph Waltz, “Django Unchained” - Best Supporting Actor
Paperman, John Kahrs - Animated Short
Brave - Best Animated Film
Life of Pi - Cinematography
Life of Pi - Visual Effects

I'm disappointed that Brave won but not really surprised

Disappointed and surprised.

This is anathema, but I don't feel like Brave deserved the Oscar.

And. For the one they give to foreign films, there's No from my country. It'd be nice if it won, because of the recognition -our national movie industry certainly needs it- but even though I haven't watched the other nominees, I don't feel like No deserves it. I'm conflicted over that.

I agree. I don't think Brave deserved it at all. I liked elements from the film, but I feel it was almost entirely weaker than basically every other nominee. I had a strong feeling it would win on virtue of being Pixar and having female leads and relationships.

It's just a stand-out bad choice because even if movies like ParaNorman and Wreck-It Ralph didn't do anything very brand new, at least they were better put together and more genuine than Brave. You can really see the seams from where they sewed the two movies together.

Was it because a girl was using a weapon and expressed distain for dresses

Merida had no disdain for dresses. I believe the filmmakers mentioned they wanted to make that clear, that Merida did not dislike dresses or things like that.

Merida was simply a bad person in my opinion. The sheer lack of empathy she expresses might be accurate for a teenager, but teenagers aren't exactly renown for their likability.

Not any Anon who has been in this thread thus far but honestly... I hated Merida. Hated her. I hated her personality, and her lack of caring about anyone else. (Especially the scene where her mother eats the cake and looks like she's getting ill and all Merida can think is "ooh, have you changed your mind yet?" NO MERIDA. Your mother is sick, and for all you know, the crazy lady in the forest sold you poison, stop being a douche).

However, in ParaNorman, I honestly felt like all the characters had some trait that made them likable, or at the very least, relatable. Like, Norman's dad isn't ashamed of his son because he's son is ~weird~, he's terrified about what his son faces. Plus, I honestly liked the animation style of ParaNorman better then the animation in Brave, and I feel like it would have been nice for Laika to win.

I liked Brave, but I didn't think it was the best or most innovative animated film of last year. I'm also getting a little bit weary of that Oscar becoming the default, "Let's give something to Pixar this year" prize.

Brave - Best Animated Film

I KNEW that was gonna happen.
[no, really, I mentioned it yesterday in the "Oscar predictions, anyone?" thread]

And now I'm glad I'm not bothering to watch.

Anna Karenina - Costume Design
Les Miserable - Make Up
Innocente - Documentary Short
Searching for Sugar Man - Documentary
Curfew - Live Action Short Film
Amour - Foreign Language Film
Les Misérables - Sound Mixing
Zero Dark Thirty AND Skyfall - Sound Editing
Anne Hathaway - Supporting Actress
Argo - Film Editing

(And if someone could do me a favor and not reply to this comment so I can keep updating this!)

Apparently Seth Mcfarland did something that's making people upset, but I don't know what he did? Would someone mind filling me in?

Seth Mcfarlane said a lot of things that made a lot of people upset.

A starter:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/hillaryreinsberg/sexist-things-at-the-oscars

seth mcfarlane is such a douchey unfunny douche.

I have a complex relationship with Seth McFarlane's brand of comedy.

He's like that friend who I kind of hate sometimes and I'm embarrassed to admit that he's my friend but also I think sometimes he says smart stuff and has the capacity to be funny so I keep thinking about not inviting him to stuff anymore, but I never really do.

A lot of his comments tonight were very inappropriate though. I kept being like "Seth. . .stop. Just stop. No."

Thanks!

And holy wow, I was expecting it be some throw away line that a few people were taking too seriously, but man, those aren't even funny; they're just offensive.

Yeah and that was within like the first half hour, that wasn't even after the Oscars were done. It was kind of. . .bad. Idk I'm sure if you went to some news sites you could get an extended list of all of the things he just shouldn't have said :P

Eh. I thought his CB/Rhianna joke was funny. She's a fucking idiot for going back with him after what he did to her. If she doesn't care, why should anyone else?

Oh wow, what a jerk D: I like black humour, but this is not funny at all, or tastefully offensive, it's stupid and douchey.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

That boob song... holy fuck. Who thought that this would be a good idea?
I could see something like that at a roast, but this... like what the fuuuuuuck.

It's Seth Macfarlane. Is literally anyone surprised?

I'm happy Brave won, I liked it more than Wreck It Ralph and way more than RotG *quiet dance in my corner of the internet in happy*

Pretty sad Dispacble Me isn't getting anything. :( My family really appreciated the adoption theme...and it was pretty cute.

I'm happy Brave won, I liked it more than Wreck It Ralph and way more than RotG

1. There was more competition than just Wreck-It-Ralph.

2. RotG wasn't even nominated.

oh ok, I haven't watched it so I'm just gathering from what other people said and was under the impression it was nominated ('cause people menchioned it on a few other forums as one of the movies that should have won)
