Jay 37,367 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It's funny how earlier in the night for lesser awards, a clip would be shown with each film. Now they are doing major awards like original screenplay and best director, and they have to race through the movie names without showing anything cause the show's running long. If Ellen hadn't wasted time delivering pizza and taking selfies, the films would have more respect shown to them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hlao-roo 389 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Best Score winner hasn't been about the best score for years and years. It's all related to the Best Picture gong, either giving it to the same film or rewarding a film they're snubbing in a "lesser" category.Yeah, it's been awhile. John Corigliano's win for The Red Violin nearly a decade and a half ago is probably the last time a score rode its own momentum to victory.

KK 3,307 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 The little clips made me curious about that film with Julia Roberts and Merryll SteepThose two were powerhouse performances. The film rides on that great cast, and those two really leave you a little out of breath. Her performance in this film is far more deserving of the Oscar than her third win for the Iron Lady.I would like Leo to win the Best actor Oscar. But it's probably going to be Matthew.
