    So, two Oscars last night? Including best supporting actor for Christoph Waltz

    He could not have been more deserving of the award, too. I'm glad he won.

    I thought he was great in the film, but not that great. Is it a failing of the other nominees in the category, perhaps? I don't think I've seen any of the other films, yet.

    You thought it was the best performance by a male supporting actor last year? I think I finally found someone who went to less movies than I did this year.

    This was a give back for his not winning for his last nomination, like when Crowe won best actor for that abortion 'Gladiator' the year after he missed out for 'The Insider'.

    It was a great, fun performance, but--like I said--not that great.

    Tommy Lee Jones would have got my nod and 'Argo' winning out over 'Lincoln' - Bollocks.

    And am I really the only one who didn't care that much for 'Django Unchained'?

    I'm not exactly a theater rat. I don't see every movie that comes out, but out of all the ones I saw? Yes. So sue me.

    And out of curiosity, which did you consider to be "great"?

    I have to say Washington in Flight was brilliant... Not seen Lincoln so can't comment on Lewis winning it...

    That award should've gone to John Goodman's role in Flight.

    Really didn't think much of that. Found it contrived and almost at odds with the rest of the film TBH.

    Yeah, that's what I was getting at. His role was silly and a bit out of place, but I suppose he had his reasons for being there.

    Watched this again on a flight last week, and have to say I enjoyed it far more than my first viewing! Still say the weakest part of the film was Tarantino's cameo!

    Haven't seen it yet myself, apart from the first 10 minutes.

    Might give it a spin tonight.
