Watching the Oscars

[LuvTim]

Hi, all! Watching the Oscars. Noticing how well our friends from Ireland are represented tonight! :-D

Loved Saoirse Ronan in "Brooklyn!"

I've yet to see Brooklyn!! :shh: :smile:
Sure you can't have the Oscars without some Irish there!! Heard Saoirse and her mom had a great night :grin:

I'm disappointed that Saoirse didn't win the Oscar, but there's always next year! Congrats to Brie Larson on her win though (still have to see that movie as well).

I can't believe that Sam Smith won best original song - I thought that was the worst of all the Bond theme songs.

I watched bits and pieces and finally gave up at 9:30!

I'm glad Leonardo Di Caprio finally won one! Loved The Revenant and wish it would have won Best Picture.

I was going to watch the Oscars, but I ended up watching To Kill a Mockingbird instead.Glad that Leonardo DiCaprio finally won for best actor!

Worst Oscar ceremony ever.

Well, you've just got to see it. I think it's just lovely. I hope you'll like it as much.

I saw Brie in "Room." Another great movie and Brie was so good in it, so yes, "Congrats!" to her.

I didn't really have an opinion on that one. I liked all the songs, I guess. But, Gaga's performance was very moving.

Yes, I was glad for Leo even though I didn't see "The Revenant." I've heard and read a lot about it, though, and it seemed to be the consensus that an Oscar this year was well-deserved. :-)

Well, of course, TKAM is a worthy alternative! :-) Great movie! And these award ceremonies can get so tiresome. :shrug:

Worst Oscar ceremony ever.

I muted the show a few times and kept my tablet open and on my lap the whole time. It was taking so lonnngg. Zzzzz...

[NightMistBlue]

I watched the whole thing and i don't know why.

I know that Sam Smith kid is only 23 but how dumb do you have to be not to just Google something like "gay Oscar winners" - there is Elton John and Sir John Gielgud and loads of people.

I'm so happy Leo finally won!!! :D I've been a fan of his since I was a pre-teen and this was so well deserved. I'm also happy for Brie Larson and Alicia Vikander.

So far I've only seen 2 of the films that were up for Best Picture: "The Martian", which was great, and "Brooklyn". I loved "Brooklyn" so much as it mirrors my own great-grandparent's story but the nationalities are reversed and happened earlier than the film. My Italian great-grandmother immigrated in the 20s and met my Irish-American great-grandfather in the 30s. So I felt like I weirdly was watching their story along with both sets of my grandparents that met & married in the 50s.

LOL... :-D

Really. My first thought was, "What about Elton John?"

That's so cool Buffy! I've heard good and bad reviews about Brooklyn so I wasn't that pushed on watching it but when I read your comment, it made it sound a lot more interesting so I'll give a go on Sunday night when I get back from my weekend away (that's all I'll be able for :grin:)
