        Yes, but he's at the end of the row, so is only next to one blonde. -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 07:12

Does Brie Larson hate Casey Affleck or something? -- (link) - decline Feb 27, 06:33 14
- That award, despite Polanski, was probably my biggest disappointment - ty97 Feb 27, 06:44 7
  - he was great in the role but I wish he hadn't been rewarded. I'm also a little queasy with how Mel Gibson has been welcomed back with open arms. - Diva Feb 27, 07:23
  - [deleted] 5
    - I think he deserved it on based on the performance but I struggle with giving it to someone with that alleged baggage. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 27, 06:48 4
      - [deleted] 1
        
        and yet, I think it's something a good society does now. Polanski is the obvious example. -- (edited) - Mel Profit Feb 27, 06:55
      - exactly -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 06:52
      - Yep. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat Feb 27, 06:52

- rumours say Yes. - Andie Feb 27, 06:34 3
  - he has not only been accused, he has settled out of court twice over it. (A - I know you know this) -- nm - Diva Feb 27, 06:37 2
    - I did not know this -- nm - decline Feb 27, 06:38 1
      - it's why i thought he would probably not win. i thought the *performance* was win-worthy, but i thought the allegations would hurt. -- nm - Andie Feb 27, 06:43
this is a new apartment building in town here (a town that isn't showing get out): $1520 for a studio. -- (link) - university of amanda jones Feb 27, 06:32 16
- that seems insane for that market. -- nm - Andie Feb 27, 06:37
- mommy and daddy gotta pony up the big bucks for a nice place. How does it compare to prices for on-campus housing? -- nm - decline Feb 27, 06:35 9
  - room *and board* is $10k per year. all utilities included on campus obvs. -- nm - university of amanda jones Feb 27, 06:41 8
    - so about 15-20% more than on-campus (excluding utilities). That's not outrageous, but still expensive -- nm - decline Feb 27, 06:44 7
      - and no food. -- nm - Andie Feb 27, 06:44 6
        
        food is $4ish k per year -- (link) - university of amanda jones Feb 27, 07:00 3
        
        right, so it's a landlord's market and they can charge what ever they want -- nm - decline Feb 27, 07:04 2
        
        it's true. one could rent out a room in a house walking distance to campus for $700 per month. -- (edited) - university of amanda jones Feb 27, 07:12 1
        
        you could get some cute grad student to 'help you around the house' - decline Feb 27, 07:15
        
        Just give the kid 20 bucks for pizza and he'll be good for the semester -- nm - decline Feb 27, 06:48 1
        
        And have leftovers if he eats Gumby's -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 06:53
- That's aimed at students, right? - spamlet Feb 27, 06:34 3
  - it's nine floors of undergrads and two floors of grad/professional. - university of amanda jones Feb 27, 06:40 2
    - Why is a car not an option? Also, is this a new building that didn't build parking? -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 27, 07:04 1
      - no parking -- nm - decline Feb 27, 07:05

Liioulu was the only person in the Oscar pool that picked Moonlight to win Best Picture. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 27, 06:29 19
- [deleted] 18
  - I don't, really. Most everything I read seemed to call Moonlight the consensus best picture. Everyone just thought Hollywood was so far up its own ass - mafic Feb 27, 06:48 16
    - It was a low-grossing indie about a poor gay black man. That's never a front-runner. -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 06:55 10
      - True, but basically every "should win/will win" I read/heard was Moonlight/La La Land. - mafic Feb 27, 07:05 1
        
        [deleted]
      - But it's also the perfect opportunity for Hollywood to stick it to Trump. - spamlet Feb 27, 06:58 7
        
        I see this more of a huge 'Fuck you' to all the #Oscarssowhite stuff. - Shaun Feb 27, 07:19
        
        Why Trump in particular? Does the Academy have a history of using their votes to stick it to politicians? - con_carne Feb 27, 07:16 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Not everything's about sticking it to Trump. -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 07:13 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Sure, but Hollywood, despite the reputation, is not a bunch of Meryl liberals - ty97 Feb 27, 07:10

      - [deleted] 2
        
        Oh, I agree.. And a bad one, too.. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 27, 06:57 1
        
        blah blah blah -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 07:11
  - Yeah, this is a big upset. No one thought any other film had a chance. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 27, 06:46
I bet they don't regret this tweet at all. -- (link) - spamlet Feb 27, 06:28 1
- This is almost as bad as the time when John Malkovich tried to shoot Whitney Houston at the Oscars. -- nm - Loyola Feb 27, 06:31
[deleted] 6
- would it be in Beatty's as well? -- nm - Diva Feb 27, 06:40 2

  - Famous people have obituaries written before they die. -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 06:29
  - She could still be alive... -- nm - Loyola Feb 27, 06:24
UK TV PSA - the 3rd & final season of Broadchurch starts - LMS Feb 27, 06:19
A real weakness in the chain of events in ensuring the Oscar goes to the right party, seems to be the fact that on each side of the stage there stands - Loyola Feb 27, 06:15 5
- There are supposedly extra checks on the right envelope going out onto stage - Will Hunting Feb 27, 06:29 4
  - and while it can't be easy to produce a high profile broadcast, I can't stop thinking about how this isn't that hard. It almost falls under the q - Mel Profit Feb 27, 06:47
  - Yeah very unfair on all concerned. The host looked lost. -- nm - Loyola Feb 27, 06:32 2
    - He should have been -- this doesn't happen. The person who should be stopping things - Will Hunting Feb 27, 06:34
    - Steve Harvey would be the only host who would have known what to do to be fair -- nm - Beaker Feb 27, 06:33

- i know, that's my dream. -- nm - Andie Feb 27, 06:18
- Wait, wait, what? (NM) - Marlowe Feb 27, 06:16
- I need to know the story behind this invitation -- nm - Epiphany Feb 27, 06:13 1
  - "Hey, wanna come watch our crowning achievement? It's going to be a bla...oh crap." -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 06:35
- How many times do I have to tell you that we don't really know Steven Spielberg -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 27, 06:06
A couple of other thoughts: not having seen the foreign films, I think Germany got robbed due to politics - ty97 Feb 27, 05:58 7
- To be honest, I think The Salesman is the superior film, even if I like past Farhadi's films better.. - Marlowe Feb 27, 06:15 4
  - As I said, I haven't seen them, but Toni was the heavyweight until the EO. - ty97 Feb 27, 06:25 3
    - Yes, but it baffles me that it was.. - Marlowe Feb 27, 06:34 2
      - But Cannes and Oscar are very different beasts -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 06:45 1
        
        Oh, dang, now you tell me? - Marlowe Feb 27, 06:51
- I told Kelly after the two foreign winners...that I wish I'd looked at who the Iranian and Syrians were. - Will Hunting Feb 27, 06:01

- Once the initial mistake happened, it almost had to play out this way - Reagen Feb 27, 05:47 12
  - You do what the LLL producer did and show the card -- sure, it's a fubar, but it's a minimized fubar. - Will Hunting Feb 27, 05:49 11
    - Jordan Horowitz did everything right, in an awful situation. Also: Jordan Horowitz is a hottie. -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 05:50 10
      - I bet you were turned on by how he took charge. -- nm - Diva Feb 27, 06:17 1
        
        *adjusts his tie* - ty97 Feb 27, 06:26
      - you can tell he's use to being in positions of authority.and around dopey actors. - Mel Profit Feb 27, 06:02
      - I wonder if he looks back going, "Maybe I shouldn't have yanked the right card from Warren's hand?" - Will Hunting Feb 27, 05:53 5
        
        Yeah, the only black mark on Kimmel's performance were his jokes during that issue - ty97 Feb 27, 05:55 4
        
        Seriously, if it had been the Best Actor award card, that would have been seen as carrying the Damon feud to an insane, career-killing level. -- nm - Reagen Feb 27, 05:57 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        that would have been great. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 27, 06:06
