I actually have to go finish a project that MUST be completed by tonight, but I thought I'd slap this up here in case anyone wants to snark on the Oscars.
I used to have some Oscars- they were so aggressive, eventually I ended up with one in each tank. The little bastards would actually go after my hand when I went to feed them, sometimes jumping right out of the tank. Then I'd laugh at them for the monumentally bad position they had put themselves in flopping on the floor, before showing them some mercy and putting them back in the water.
Glad Spotlight won, sad pussyhound Leo's thirst was rewarded.
Also too, check out John Oliver's new masterpiece: http://donaldjdrumpf.com/
The Chrome extension works like a charm and is awesome and somehow cheering.
Damn. I couldn't watch last night, so I just watched Chris Rock's intro, which had gotten so much praise and… fuck, if he'd been alive in the 1960s, he would have told Rosa Parks to quit complaining because she should be grateful they let her on the bus at all. What a dick.
Apparently on larger papers they have reporters who do nothing but write obits in advance for the more famous people in their coverage area, get what they can ready to go beforehand.

Chris Rock is hot out of the gate!
Mad Max won for costumes. Cool. Amazing cages, er, costumes.
This is really all I know about the Oscars.

What is that? Oscar the fish?
| Oscar's Fish. |
They're the Border Collies of the tropical fish hobby. But with less hair.
They have been nicknamed the "River, or Water dog" because of the way they behave. They often shake their heads and tails just like a dog.
Cool.

Why would they do that? Just excited to see you?
because they were hungry, I assume. And they figured out that when I opened the lid it was dinner time and they were a bit impatient.

Sit! Good boy!
LASSIE!
Will we need our new year's Meme tonight?

That feeling when you have a perfect response but you're saving it for Super Tuesday
And for every utterance that comes out of Trump's pie hole.
Too bad we don't have a Mad Max Wonkville meme, that would kinda come in handy tonight.

Bwwaahhahahah!

This is the Tom Hardy character when I think of how Trump presents himself:

But how he really is:

We lost a war with Australia it seems.
But Tom Hardy was in it, so it's OK.

Wow, they just said that it's been 39 years since Stallone was last nominated.
Mark Rylance, Best Supporting Actor, Bridge of Spies! A non-Mad Max winner!
Wow!!!
I take it that you can see the live show? (I can only see the online stuff)
Yeah, it looked like it took a while for the audience to realize it really was Joe Biden.
I wish there was someplace I could watch all of the animated films.
His music for The Mission is something I could listen to every day.
Who?
Ennio Moricone! He did the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns as well. He's old as hell.
The music from that movie is haunting. I didn't really know this composer's name until all the buzz for this year.
He's a superstar in Italy, conducts concerts in football arenas.
Awesome
Is it just me or are all the nominated songs awful?
I think the commercials are better than the whole show.
Anything with Tina Fey in it is worth watching. Except maybe her romcom movies.
Oh, now they run in the fucking commercials!
Wow. Spotlight.
Glad Spotlight won, sad pussyhound Leo's thirst was rewarded.

I'm glad too. Such an amazing movie. It could have been so dull, following reporters around. Or preachy or maudlin. But they nailed it in every way.
ETA: Drumpf!!!!! Also: BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY. Thank you, John Oliver.

That's a good way to put it. I think the reviews have let him off easy.
I was told by several journalists that the best way to learn to write for newspapers is to write obits.
Apparently on larger papers they have reporters who do nothing but write obits in advance for the more famous people in their coverage area, get what they can ready to go beforehand.
