i have seen smackie's new place... it's real, and it's spectacular.

I am still angst ridden that my SF trip intersected with his honeymoon and we were unable to meet up. I need to rectify that.

Yes, your family were our first guests!  You should see it now that the furniture has arrived and the art and TV are on the walls...

But where are those 3,345 square inches located? 3,345 sq inches in Centreville is different from 3,345 sq inches in Chevy Chase.

Yes, let's agree to call it southern Montgomery  County.

Ok...I take some of my NASCAR hatred down a few notches when they do stuff like this

Oh I've been following @_floridaman and @_floridawoman for sometime (at the recommendation of a bordie) and have to turn away sometimes because the belly laughs are so hard

so, about that mad max movie...

(pundits really do need to listen to us)

Run-off voting almost certainly cost The Revenent Best Picture. (FTR, I didn't think it was all that great -- Spotlight, Brooklyn, and The Room were all much better films -- but I do think it probably had the most first place votes.)

Seemed like they overdid the whole Black thing. Think they mentioned it about 100 times compared to no mentions od Asians or Hispanics, at least when i was watching.

about mad max
6 Oscars is an amazing feat, but they are all the minor Oscars
what is also odd is that the Oscars have these similar awards and typically they don't give them to the same movie

Separate awards for Costume and  Hair/Makeup...honestly should have retroactively been given to Road Warrior

Film editing and Production design...not even sure what these awards are, but surprised that this was the best in both of these

Sound editing and sound mixing...jez seems like they were splitting hairs on these separate ones, but honestly again surprised that this was the BEST


On a cool side note Kira Roessler, one half of the duo Dos with Mike Watt and a former member of Black Flag, has won an Oscar for Best Sound Editing for Mad Max: Fury Road.

This is my thought as well. African-Americans make up ~12% of the population. In the past 20 years, they've gotten 10% of all acting nominations and accounted for 15% of the wins. Those numbers are perfectly reasonable.

Meanwhile, Hispanics make up ~16% of the population and have <2% of all nominations in the last 2 decades. How is this an African-American disenfranchisement issue?

Oh my god, she was probably my biggest celebrity crush growing up. I adored her (the tomboy version, not the glam ho version) and I'm so glad to see she has added an Oscar to her Grammy. Keep going girlfriend, EGOT awaits.
