Almost seemed like a movie tailor made for the Oscars. I mean the topic (slavery) and a lot of black community issues and struggle. Anti-racism is the academy's favorite thing. Was it worth it though? Oh yeah. I saw the film on theater. It really is a tremendous film. Cruel and realistic but for me a piece of art.



Worth it: YES




Best Director, Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity.


alfonso cuaron

OK. this guy. It's not like he is not good. But srsly now? Dayym!

srsly

I mean you have Alexander Payne and Steve McQueen (I wont say Scorsese and Russell because lets be honest, it wasn't for Oscar). 



And you give it to Cuaron? FOR REAL NOW?



Worth it: Meh



Leading Actor - Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club



OK so I'm personally frustrated by this result.

Why wouldn't DiCaprio get it? I Mean he even snorted Cocaine out of a hookers ass! He is the best actor of his time!

And you give it to McConaughey? Whatever! Fine!




McConaughey

Worth it: NO (to be honest though McConaughey was spectacular)



Leading Actress - Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine


Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett

One of the best actresses alive. She was an absolute smash on blue Jasmine. And she is so damn beautiful too.


Worth it: Totally



Supporting Actor - Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club


jared leto


jared leto

I may not like Jared Leto. But we need to admit that this role was the role of his life. Almodovarish. 


Worth it: Yes



Supporting Actress - Lupita Nyong’o, 12 Years a Slave


Lupita

Lupita

I may love Jeniffer Lawrence but Lupita was teh shit in this movie. 

Worth it: Completely



Now to wrap it up. Her was worth way more than original screenplay. Gravity seriously wasnt worth a ton of oscars. There was 12 years a slave for this.


So we need to realise that even though the academy might not have a fan's perception they still aren't totally wrong. they just have different reasons to favor a movie.



And now to the most retweeted tweet of all times.

By Ellen. I guess you know what is the secret of success now to get the best tweet. A bunch of oscar worth people.




To close up I would like to post my personal best picture from 2014 Oscars. Benedict Cumberbatch photobombing U2.
