88th Annual Academy Awards

[CaptainWagner]

Well, Chris Rock is apparently the host now, I wonder what happened to the plans for a duo?

 

[Doctor Jones]

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin wouldn't return their calls.

 

[MadVillainy]

Rock is my favorite stand up of all time so cool, I guess. I still dont think I have plans to watch the show.

But I am prepared for the "PEOPLE FURIOUS OVER COMMENTS MADE BY CHRIS ROCK AT THE OSCARS" headlines

With a boundary-pusher like Chris Rock, it's guaranteed.

 

[MadVillainy]

Sean Penn probably will be a little baby over it again

 

[terry78]

I still dug Seth MacFarlane's stint. He just didn't give ****, hence him never getting asked back

 

[Sawyer]

Sean Penn probably will be a little baby over it again

S***, he's already being a little baby about Lee Daniels calling him out for domestic violence. Though, granted, Daniels was doing so to deflect blame from Terrance Howard's domestic violence incidences, so really, **** them both.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Any chance of a TFA nomination? Wasn't Star Wars nominated?

 

[Sawyer]

Any chance of a TFA nomination?

Sure. Visual effects, make-up, editing possibly... not Best Picture, Director or acting awards, though.

Eh I kinda did get Lee Daniels' point though. But the whole thing is silly to me.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'm glad to see Rock hosting. Hopefully he can shake things up like last time. He was ahead of its time then if you think about it. I just hope he's not safer. If he can do that AND be funny then good. But this is the Oscars. One or the other might happen.

My predictions for Best Actor nominees are:

Michael Fassbender for Steve Jobs
Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant
Eddie Redmayne for The Danish Girl
Tom Hanks for Bridge of Spies
Johnny Depp for Black Mass

Thoughts?

 

[terry78]

Leo getting nods have become a running gag.

 

[Gold Samurai]

My predictions for Best Actor nominees are:

Michael Fassbender for Steve Jobs
Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant
Eddie Redmayne for The Danish Girl
Tom Hanks for Bridge of Spies
Johnny Depp for Black Mass

Thoughts?

Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp will be like TDK Joker asking two thugs to fight it out


There's only one spot on the team. Who wants it the most?

Tom Hanks? Nice to be nominated but won't win

Redmayne? Last year's darling in another transforming roll? Possibly.


It's Redmayne VS Fassbender IMO

 

[Sawyer]

Leo getting nods have become a running gag.

With him continually getting nods but no wins, one year, I'd like to see him not get nominated and end up winning it anyway. And then Fassbender puts up a fuss and Leo's like "Sit your weak ass down, Michael, your performance as Caitlyn Jenner was subpar" and then just proceeds to take potshots at all of Hollywood for the rest of the show.

That's the dream.

 

[redhawk23]

With a boundary-pusher like Chris Rock, it's guaranteed.

When was the last time Chris Rock was a "boundary-pusher" and not just "Adam Sandler's Friend, Chris Rock" ?

 

[Drizzle]

Chris Rock pushed boundaries back in the late '90s. Not so much today.

 

[Doctor Jones]

That's the dream.

Leo will win his Oscar when his movie wins for Best Picture that he produced.

What's Rock been in lately?

 

[chamber-music]

My predictions for Best Actor nominees are:

Michael Fassbender for Steve Jobs
Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant
Eddie Redmayne for The Danish Girl
Tom Hanks for Bridge of Spies
Johnny Depp for Black Mass

Thoughts?

Fassbender deserves a acculturative nomination for Steve Jobs, MacBeth and Slow West.

 

[CaptainWagner]

My predictions for Best Actor nominees are:

Michael Fassbender for Steve Jobs
Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant
Eddie Redmayne for The Danish Girl
Tom Hanks for Bridge of Spies
Johnny Depp for Black Mass

Thoughts?

That seems like a pretty safe bet.

And I'll second those hoping for a re ignition of the Sean Penn/Chris Rock "feud"

 

[ThePhantasm]

What's Rock been in lately?

Hercules
San Andreas
Furious 7
Pain & Gain

 

[redhawk23]

^ He meant Chris Rock not THE Rock.

As for Chris Rock, he had a movie out earlier this year called Top 5.

 

[ThePhantasm]

I knew what he meant, I was just being a pain in the ***.

 

[sueb1863]

I'm a she.

Just sayin'.
