Oscar Best Movie Poll - Who *Should* Win

[Admiral Yi]

Interesting that an Oscar nominee has already made it to cable.

Glad that Arquette won it; her character and performance were the single most compelling thing in Boyhood.

I think the awards were allright; can't think of any egregious snub.

[Martinus]

I wish Cumberbatch won instead of Redmayne but this is mainly based on personal preference, as I haven't watched either movie yet.

All gaysphere is aflutter with the acceptance speech of the Imitation Game writer.

And of course POLSKA POLSKA POLSKA.

Ok, I still feel silly rooting for a movie based on nationality.

[Martinus]

Only movie on the list I've seen was Selma, which was really good so I'll vote for that.

Funnily, it's the only movie on the list that didn't win an Oscar for anything.

[Liep]

And of course POLSKA POLSKA POLSKA.

Ok, I still feel silly rooting for a movie based on nationality.

It was slightly sillier here where they were rooting for Ida because it had a Danish producer.

That, and we beat Russians.

Then again, the Russian movie is a cry against the creeping authoritarianism of the country and the crushing of the common man by the authorities, with its author being now denounced by Putin's ministers, so maybe it wouldn't have been a terrible thing if it won.

No Oscar for best posting of fripperies on Languish. 

[Valmy]

So Birdman won.  Any thoughts?  I didn't see it.

I have heard people say NPH was painful to watch as a host.  He is kind of a dork off-script so I could see that.

Haven't seen it either, but it's winning fits perfectly in the Academy Awards winner hierarchy.

He didn't fuck up.  Best you could say.

[Martinus]

I blame Bruce Villanche.

No real laughs, though I did chuckle at that balls joke. Bad timing though, as it came right after a story about a winner's son who committed suicide and the joke was on the expense of the winner's dress.

And the sudden halt in play off music when that Pole mentioned his dead wife was also funny.

[Martinus]

By the way, with BAFTA being hosted by Stephen Fry and Oscars by NPH, can we safely say film making industry proves once again that it is so conservative, only a married white man can host it?
