The 86th Academy Awards Official Thread

[the next guy]

Will's more of a "hollywood" legend than Bill. The theme of the night was to have hollywood legends present in one way or another or former winners or nominees. Will has two nominations to his name I believe. So when someone got upset at Sidney coming out with Angelina, it wasn't about him choosing the white woman lol it was about the director or producer pairing up one legend with an oscar winner

IMO i would have switched the last few, have will go Lawrence for best actress. Poitier should have announced best pictures, given the contenders.

You know the Academy doesn't give a damn about a Razzie breh

Denzel would've been a good look

Agreed.

The previous years Best Actor (almost) always presents Best Actress and vice versa

 

[obarth]

Yes.

Django Unchained
Shutter Island
Catch Me If You Can
This Boy's Life

I think he gives the strongest performances in those films. He's great in others, but is often overshadowed by GREAT, often all-time performances (Day-Lewis, Blanchett, Winslet, Honsou)

I respect your opinion when it comes to movies, but Catch Me If You Can is probably the only one on your list that somewhat impressed me. He was entertaining in Django but Christoph Waltz had the stronger performance to me. Shutter Island was forgettable to me (literally). I don't remember Leo wowing me, but I could be wrong. Never seen This Boy's Life

If you watch Catch Me If You Can, Inception, or Blood Diamond and don't see the greatness in Leo's acting then you're either a hater or unfamiliar with great acting.

Inception?

Anyway, Leo will win sooner or later even if it has to be one of those "here's an Oscar for waiting so long" types

And Will Smith presenting is just for the opportunity to show Will Smith. After Earth aside, dude is still a star

He was awesome in Shutter Island

#2 got me in tears because I knew it was coming and I knew the RDJ reference had to be there...

In 2001's I Am Sam, Sean Penn swung for the retard fences and came up short

I think he did present best picture long time ago. The dude can barely speak, he might have had a stroke or something.
