The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Just watched Full Metal Jacket again a couple days ago, how the hell did R. Lee Ermey not get a supporting actor nomination for his roll as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman, much less the oscar? There's not a single moment in this film where you get the sense that he's acting. Apparently he wrote much of his own lines and improvised several scenes. "Happy birthday to you,.....happy birthday to Jesus, happy birthday to you."

So no real upsets in the major categories other than Big Six over How to Train Your Dragon 2. I thought Michael Keaton was gaining momentum and might have pulled off Best Actor over Redmayne, who had dominated the awards leading up to last night. I was surprised to see Grand Budapest Hotel do so well in the lesser categories, really cost me in my pool.

I picked that one. I thought Simmons was a near lock but it would get screenplay too as its other major award. I was disappointed Boyhood didn't get director or picture, I was pulling for both even though I picked Birdman for the pool.
