Gareth Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Argo should and will win best picture. Lincoln should have been better, Daniel Day Lewis' brilliant performance was the only thing rising the film from mediocrity. I thought Life of Pi was fantastic, but the only thing it might win is visual effects. I don't think last year was a great year for film, but there are still a few worth noting.

Koete Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Argo should and will win best picture. No, it really shouldn't. Argo is good, but it's been way overrated by the press. I don't think last year was a great year for film, but there are still a few worth noting. On that, we agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Argo should and will win best picture. No, it really shouldn't. Argo is good, but it's been way overrated by the press Argo should win based on the Best Picture nominees that I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Seth McFarlane was really good, maybe cause I went in with such low expectations I loved his small Good Will Hunting reference, when he said to Ben Affleck, Ben, it's not your fault.

Venneh Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 McFarlane hit some good notes, but there were quite a few moments during the night where I was just cringing at some of his jokes (lol domestic violence!, lol gaaaaaaaaaaaay).

Molly Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 McFarlane himself is pretty funny. You have to realize that he considers himself a Trey Parker/Matt Stone type; nothing is off limits. Unlike Parker and Stone, McFarlane has no idea what subtlety is. Family Guy and it's ilk are pretty awful, but McFarlane is good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Pretty much. It could've been a lot worse, for sure. But, overall, one of the better ceremonies in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Iranian news censors Michelle Obama’s Oscar gown, okay but doesn't this mean they had to senor pretty much every woman's dress at the oscars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 McFarlane hit some good notes, but there were quite a few moments during the night where I was just cringing at some of his jokes (lol domestic violence!, lol gaaaaaaaaaaaay). If you thought those were bad, read some of the ones they didn't use from one of the writers. https://twitter.com/jessejoyce In order to learn how to land a plane like that, Denzel spent hours in the cockpit training with some of the best pilots in Al Qaeda And the Oscar for “Worst Oscar” goes to South African sprinter Blade Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Any joke about Chris Brown I give a pass, mainly because I view it in the guide of shinning a light on the fact he should not have a job at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 This is how you host an awards show. This was the night before the Oscars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gallagher Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I thought McFarlane was brilliant. Apparently a few people from the Academy were angry wth some of his work thiking he went too far. It's Seth McFarlane for Christ's sake! That's what he does. I'm no Family Guy fan but I thought Ted was a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
