86th Annual Academy Awards (2014) - Part 2

[Mace Dolex]

So I noticed during the animation montage it was pretty biased towards Disney/Pxar fluff, what, no love for Transformers The Movie? He-Man Secret Of The Sword? Gobots Battle Of The Rock Lords? I mean damn at least include cutesy crud like Care Bears The Movie.

 

[Raiden]

I think it might be a dyslexia issue or some other kind of cognitive thing. Because unless the teleprompter guy really screwed up, there's no logical explanation for that error.

Even if Travolta is dyslexic, that doesn't mean he couldn't memorize her name during the rehearsal. All he needed to do was to ask someone for the correct pronunciation of her name and he won't even need the teleprompter. This is entirely his fault, no excuses.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Say what you want about it deserving to win Best Picture because that's entirely subjective, but to everyone in the past 10 or so pages that have said that 12 Years a Slave has shown nothing new about how slavery is portrayed, you have lost me completely. That s*** baffles me beyond words.

Maybe I'm reading things wrong but I certainly found something new, I had no idea that free black people were kidnapped and sold into slavery in the South after abolition. It was harrowing to see the plight of Solomon and know it is not just a story.

This entirely. DiCaprio was good, but it was not his best, much less the best performance of the year.

I think many are also underestimating the difficulty of the role McConaughey took on, Ron Woodruff was not a great guy, he was a sleazy living homophobe who did what he did initially for profit, they didn't sugar coat things or paint the picture of a saint, but it didn't dilute the message of how important his actions were as he took a stand against the FDA.

 

[Boom]

Travoltify your name:

You may call me Dean Smarnold.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

My name is Hussain Knight.

I have no idea how the hell they got my actual name out of that. But what do you expect from John Travolta.

12 Years a Slave wasn't after abolition, it was set in the 1840s. Slavery was outlawed during/after the Civil War in the 1860s.

 

[AnneFan]

I wonder if Interstellar can replicate the same success for Nolan next year?

I really hope so.

Ah I see, I didn't think before abolition that any black people were free in the US.

Should Leo start producing films so he can win an Oscars like Brad Pitt? t:

He actually got another nomination this year as a producer of WoWS which he lost too of course.

 

[Gee]

So about that new superhero inductee, it seems Andrew Garfield was a no-show and that is why Chris Evans stepped in for him.

Wow. Is that confirmed?

A few posters over at the Spidey boards were getting their panties in a bunch over Evans hosting that segment instead.

 

[Schlosser85]

Ah I see, I didn't think before abolition that any black people were free in the US.

All Northern states (where Solomon lived) had abolished slavery by 1804.

Southern states kept it until it was abolished nationwide following their defeat in the Civil War in 1865, 20 years after the events of 12 Years a Slave.

This place wouldn't be special without the crazy Spidey and Bat fans.

[terry78]

Why the **** didn't Garfield show? I assume had a pretty decent excuse because he probably needed the face time more than Evans.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Travolta is dyslexic. Handicaps are funny yo.

 

[antsman41]

Maybe he was busy with Emma in the coat closet?
