And it was kind of ...It was perfect, wasn't it? And it was kind of in line with what you were talking about in your Oscar post - it was a surprise. An off the cuff moment. It kind of makes you wish more presenters might go off script, if only for a moment.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-16578631857384219412014-03-07T10:26:53.803-06:002014-03-07T10:26:53.803-06:00Great round up here.

Looking right into the camera. Perfect.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-65945094352964181472014-03-04T18:53:36.820-06:002014-03-04T18:53:36.820-06:00Brad: Yeah.

He was just one of the four props opposite Lubezki but you've gotta believe that some year HE'S going to the Lubezki. Don't you? Or should that have already happened?<br /><br />Lexi: Grazie.<br /><br />Andrew: You know, the Sally moment didn't even make me mad. I mean, it DID, but it made me mad more in that way of getting a sad, knowing smile, where you're just thinking: "Of course, that was going to happen. It couldn't have happened any other way."<br /><br />The McConaughey speech.....like I said, I interpreted it as him saying he was always chasing for a better version of himself. You're right, though, given the theme of the night that perhaps the phrasing was poor. I half-wonder now if McConaughey decided mid-show to tie his speech INTO the theme? It seems like something he might do.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-43095490077902924052014-03-04T07:41:11.838-06:002014-03-04T07:41:11.838-06:00What the hell was up with the camera after Sally&#...What the hell was up with the camera after Sally's speech? One of my only real "goddamn it, what sort of trash is this" moment from the ceremony. Especially since they gave her an excellent clip. <br /><br />I don't know if Matt was going for that in his speech, but in an evening unsubtly devoted to movie heroes that awkwardly syntax he used to call himself his own hero was...uncomfortable.<br /><br />(Roundly offended that Amy's clip wasn't her telling Irving "I just didn't know you were conning me", or at the very least: night club dance break.)Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-77862875320839645242014-03-03T12:24:41.461-06:002014-03-03T12:24:41.461-06:00This is great.This is great.Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10511543930817124424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-12086084630947210592014-03-03T09:50:18.311-06:002014-03-03T09:50:18.311-06:00I thought the same thing while watching McConaughe...I thought the same thing while watching McConaughey's speech. I knew people were going to call him egotistical or narcissistic for what he said, but I interpreted it as saying that he was always trying to be a better man than the one he is today.<br /><br />Also, Roger Deakins is now 0-12 at the Oscars.
