Oscars

Since this was originally about the OSCARS - how about you guys take the love fest for Wahlberg's expert opinions elsewhere?

Sheesh...

I didn't comment on the post. I commented on someone who has been a known racist for years and is not exactly defending minorities now being "my favorite person in Hollywood." That phrase by Stewo was also not a rumination on Marky Mark's comment, but was rather making the bold statement that someone who has been arrested for hate crimes is his "favorite person in Hollywood," and one to adulate and revere. I might keep that one under my hat, personally.



See above response to Clonefan32 - but dude, we should totally forgive all of the outstanding Nazi war criminals because I'm sure that they totally changed their ways from a life that was, at its base, involving blatant hatred of minorities because it was in the 1940s. That's the logic, right? That sort of racist, systemic thinking that was ingrained in them from childhood TOTALLY is going to change.

I think Lena Dunham's one tweet was disgusting. Beyond that, I've never seen any of her shows or anything, so I don't particularly care about her as a person - but no, I wouldn't hold her up as an idol for my kids. I've never quoted her as a revered entity, nor have I ever called her my "favorite person in Hollywood." I certainly am not going to quote a dude who tried to curb-stomp two Asians saying crap about how we shouldn't listen to Hollywood actors, THEREBY LISTENING TO HOLLYWOOD ACTORS.



He was arrested and convicted for assaulting the crap out of minorities because they were minorities. Rather than try to make reparations, or even apologize, he sought to have his record pardoned.

I don't have any big thing about Mark Wahlberg - I think he's a mostly-crappy actor (who managed to almost bring down even "Boogie Nights" by only being able to make that one face) who seems to be a crappier person. He didn't just "say some stuff" - he threw stuff at minority children, he beat the crap out of people.

It's one thing to take down Wahlberg, it's an entirely other thing to disparage Dirk Diggler...

Anyway, back to the Oscars. I thought overall the wins were well deserved. I personally didn't love Viola Davis in Fences and would have picked Michelle Williams to win.

But Manchester getting screenplay and actor was awesome and Moonlight winning supporting actor, screenplay and picture was incredible. PLEASE SEE THAT MOVIE!

1. Marky mark was smiling during that scene and 2. I didn't look close enough to tell whether it's real or not.

Will let you check your wallpaper to doublecheck.

I am dying! You crafty-tongued bastard.

Another movie he under-reacted his way through (that was wang-free) was "Three Kings." Thank goodness for George and Spike.

The main winners were great, however. We now live in a world where "Suicide Squad" is an Academy Award-winning film.

If Margot Robbie showed her stuff Id say it was award winning.


Or I can watch wolf and see it. Although I'd have to deal with dbag Leo.

I'm going to have to admit and confess to some ageism here on this one.

When I saw that, IMO, Warren Beatty has not aged well and was seeming to have a hard time reading the envelope or struggling with the name, that he was simply having quite the senior moment (temporary dementia maybe), and that's why it ended up being such a fiasco. The irony is that I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being some twenty-something production assistant working for peanuts who made the mistake.

I don't think Warren Beatty has ever been the brightest bulb and it is unfair to blame it on his age. He seems to make much better decisions now than he did when he was younger. Some actors are just used to reading what they are given. Some PWC partner hands him the wrong envelope and he is clueless and probably would have been clueless 50 years ago too.

I am probably a traitor to womankind when I say that I don't really get the Leo thing. I mean, as an actor, he is great. But I think he is just a little TOO pretty for me. There are no rough edges there.

On a masculinity scale, I consider his to be about the same as an average woman.

Agreed. I've NEVER been attracted to "pretty" men. I like rugged.

There are the off ones here and there who buck the mold, but by and large, same here. Even, say, Brad Pitt - he's still got a rugged side.

I say the same thing about actresses @Angie, they need to have some rough edges..for example: Rachel McAdams, she's pretty but has that mole. Then there's Kate Beckinsale, her elbows are too pointy..oh who am I kidding, she's perfect.

I just love Rachel McAdams. But way better as a redhead than a blonde.

Maybe Kate's elbows are dry?

You don't say?

there's another shot somewhere that shows it says Oscar for Best Leading Actress.

I saw that last night. Gold letters on the envelope that you only see when they zoom in on it.
