    Seth McFarlane did a good job as host with his irreverent humour.
    All the predictable ones took their trophies, except for Best Director which landed on the hands of Ang Lee for 'Life of Pi' a film that was showered with a lot of trophies, except Best Picture, which went to 'Argo'.
    Quentin Tarantino won Best Original Screenplay and Christoph Waltz won Best Supporting Actor.
    Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress (I told you Anthony!) and even tripped on her dress, stumbled and fell on her knees on the stairs on her way to receive her Oscar. She seemed so embarrassed by the incident that gave one of the shortest acceptance speeches ever for an actress.
    Daniel Day Lewis won as expected.
    The Avengers and The Hobbit went home empty handed.

    I just watched Silver lining playbook last night, that along with Argo / Django are my favourite movies of the year.

    Great acting by Lawrence / Cooper, they both nailed their roles.

    I enjoyed it (kinda) but I was also disappointed. If DDL didn't play the part I feel the movie would have been panned by the critics

    I didnt say Lawrence wouldnt win. I just said she shouldnt. But like i said before, hollywood is pushing certain people. Argo in no way should have won best picture over lincoln. And Ang Lee over spielberg? GTFOOH

    Didn't see Lincoln yet, but Spielberg has directed many good movies, like much of what Anthony listed

    You think Ann Hathaway deserved it more?

    I didn't see Les Miserables nor will I, but word is Hathaway was awesome. Lawerence did a great job in Playbook I thought. Was it Oscar worthy? Probably not, but then who really deserved it? Must be someone from Armour, Lincoln, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django, or Miserables. The only films I didn't see, because I know no female from Zero Dark Thirty, PI, or Argo deserved it.

    I didn't think Argo was the greatest film. I would have taken PI over that film, but PI didn't impress me that much either. As a production piece Argo was done perfectly and in that sense I think maybe it did deserve an Oscar but as far as being entertaining it feel a little short for me.

    Spielberg being overrated is probably not what Gatti meant. What he probably meant is Spielberg is overrated these days. Still not true but maybe that's what he means. I mean the Last Indian Jones flick and that War Horse movie were abominations but Spielberg didn't exactly write those films, he only pointed the camera, and in that vein he's still one of the best.

    No comments on Seth McFarlane as Oscar's host? He received a lot of bashing, but what the heck people were expecting from the Family Guy dude? Billy Crystal?:notallthere:

    I actually can't stand Seth McFarlane. I hate his face, I hate his voice and I hate the movies he makes. Only time I ever liked him was Superbad.
