I didn't watch the show as I am sure it was as long and boring as Best Picture Nomination LINCOLN. And speaking of Lincoln, when that film came out everyone was like, "this is the greatest picture ever!!", but by last night, everyone seemed to hate it or Speilberg, I'm not sure which.
Best Supporting Actor:
Christoph Waltz- Give me a break. Yes he was good in Django, actually he was the best part of that bloated, offensive, many times boring film. But to think he won over Phillip Seymour Hoffman for The Master, a film I did not like, but an undeniably powerful performance. And Waltz just won for Tarantino's crapfest Inglorious Basturds (sic) two years ago.
Best Actor- Everyone knew it was going to be Daniel Day Lewis, so no suprise, but in truth the award should have gone to Joaquin Phoenix for the Master. I mean what a performance. Daniel only did an imitation of a man, while Joaquin embodied a person.
Best Supporting Actress- Anne Hathaway for LES MIS or as I call it, The Miserable Lesbian. I was shocked she beat out Sally Field in Lincoln, again I hated the movie, but I thought Field was a shoo-in. I haven't seen Les Mis but have heard that its just a so-so film. Hathaway should have been nominated for Dark Knight Rises.
Best Actress- This was a hard one, because the category was littered with new comers and young ladies. But keeping with tradition, Hollywoods sexist attitude loves to give the award to a young, fuckable new comer. And since she lost 2 years ago, Jennifer Lawrence was given the award for Silver Linings Playbook; a very good movie that I don't think deserved any of the nominations in got.
Best Director- Ang Lee, otherwise known as the guy who directed Hulk and Surviving Woodstock. I didn't think Life of Pi resonated with many people, but slowly it did. I will never understand how you can win best director but not best picture and vice versa, but this award was the second to last FUCK YOU to Steven Spielberg of the night. Again, I thought Spielberg was a shoo-in, but in reality it was his tamest and safest movie ever.
Best Picture- Argo. Everyone knew Argo would take this!! Ben Affleck got fucked in the ass by the Academy so to be fair and spread things out (The Academy is historically guilty of either giving all the awards to one film, or spreading them out to many), they gave Argo Best Picture, which it certainly was. No one really wants to admit that Lincoln was as boring as a C-Span debate. But Argo was the final FUCK YOU to Speilberg and Lincoln.
Of course Best Song was going to go to Skyfall.
I wasn't suprised that best Animated Pic went to Brave, but box office results and longevity proved that Wreck It Ralph should have won, but whatever.
Early in 2012 everyone talked about the documentary BULLY, but it wasn't even nominated, and once I saw it I agreed that it was not that good. Searching For Sugarman was the winner last night and it so deserved to be. It's a story so amazing it had to be true. So right on and spot on was the Academy with Best Documentary.
The biggest snub last night was ZERO DARK 30, a remarkable film that ultimately was too mired in controversey regarding torture. Of course the USA tortures people. Every single prisoner at GITMO has been and is being tortured. So to torture some people in order to find, and destroy Osama, is completely acceptable.
But Hollywood is so fucking political, esp having Michelle Obama present Best Picture, that too award ZD30 would have been an indictment on Barack Obama for allowing torture. It would have looked odd to have his wife award ZD30 with Best Picture. Hollywood has their cocks so far up Obama's ass.......
I digress.
I heard Seth did a poor job, but seriously when the Titanic is sinking, how good a captain can you really be.
For God's sake Hollywood, jerk yourself off in private, America isn't interested in your bloated ceremonies.
Next year do a 15 minute comedy monologue, hand out some awards, do the In Memorium segment, hand out the rest of the awards and GO THE FUCK HOME, or to your cocaine parties, and sex orgies.
Now fuck off. I'm done.
