Christopher Plummer has still got IT at the tender age of ... however old he is. What a man! (am referring to his speech, not especially his looks right now - though he was a smashing young-looking man)
Presenting Best Actor to Michael Fassbender ! He's very nervous and dropped the F-bomb !
Is it bad that when the presenter said "In Shame he hypnotized us with..." I immediately said his penis?
He did a Melissa Leo!(didn't listen to the speech bc my screen went kaput: was it short but nice? or frazzled?)
Edit: Got some quotes thanks to twitter (which also informed me tonight that Armond White is indeed, a crazy wacko). Anyone who can successfully make a Police Academy joke is fine in my book. And I learn tonight what a rostrum is. Ben quoi, je parle français, moi![]()
Alexander Payne dropped it too: "This is by far the best f#cking awards dinner I've ever been to. All we need is a vaporizer at every table."
" This rostrum reminds me of Police Academy." - Michael Fassbender coming up on stage to collect the award.
" One guy locks his wife in the attic, one tries to figure out his dreams, one manipulates metal, the other manipulates himself." - Michael Fassbender on his roles this year.
You speak french, really?![]()
" Michael Fassbender made an '80s reference and used the word 'rostrum' as part of the same joke. Armond pelting dinner rolls at him."
Who is that Armond White guy exactly? A famous critic? And why was he pelting dinner rolls at Michael during his speech? I was wondering why he was acting weird and confused on stage, I guess I now have my answer... Poor Michael... What an a$$hole, what is his problem?
Omg you've not heard of Armond White? Ok, go on twitter and find posts by Rian Johnson (@rcjohnso) who sat next to him at tonight's awards and allegedly live-tweeted all about it. White is an american critic who relishes on his supposed anti-conformity but 98% of what he says is just for the sake of going against the critical current and to purposefully ruffle feathers. It's hilarious if you don't take him seriously because he's such a cankerous sore. I hope filmmakers and actors don't take his reviews seriously because it's always mean-spirited and can induce stomach burns. For example, his favourite films are Jonah Hex, A.I., Jack and Jill. He's so over-the-top that someone even has a fake Armond White account and writes the funniest grumpy fake-tweets!
