Argo winning adapted screenplay probably sets the tone for tonight.

 

[TexasMan]

QUENTIN!

QUENTIN!

Yes!

 

[TexasMan]

Oh shit. Life of Pi is going to win best picture??

Oh shit. Life of Pi is going to win best picture??

Probably not...Affleck wasn't even nominated for Best Director, after all.

Stunner win for Lawrence. Good performance by her, but Chastain was better. We never really saw Lawrence's love for Cooper developing in the same way that we saw Cooper's love for Lawrence.

Jennifer Lawrence is so pretty, I'm jealous.

 

[TexasMan]

Jennifer Lawrence - what Kristen Stewart should strive to be

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Well that was pretty much an automatic.

Daniel Day Lewis wins again - ho hum.

 

[Smart]

It's a crying shame that Daniel-Day Lewis won. I'm sorry, but Lincoln spent half of the movie acting like a total dimwit who everyone ignored. He gives one decent monologue in a movie where he is completely overpowered and they give it to him anyways. His accent was a simple Midwestern accent. His facial expression was aloof the entire movie. It just wasn't an exceptional acting performance, and apparently people care about name more than performance.

Lame

 

[Smart]

And we go from one aloof performance in the White House to another.....

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I really enjoyed Argo so I'm ok with it winning. As long as it wasn't some pretentious choice like Life Of Pi or Amour.

 

[TexasMan]

FUCK YEA

 

[brin3535]

Really didn't need to see Michelle Obama. I paid for that.

 

[Smart]

Argo was good. Not an exceptional film like some recent winners (The Kings Speech and The Departed), but a solid movie like The Artist and The Hurt Locker. Definitely not a crapper like Crash or Slumdog Millionaire.
