Thought Butler was outstanding in that movie (can’t speak to Fraser’s performance).

He absolutely was. But he wont talk normal anymore. Its really weird.

YEOH!

So now EEAAO is now the third movie in history to win 3 acting Oscars. The others are Network, and A Streetcar Named Desire

The damnedest thing was the acting Oscar Streetcar missed was Best Actor for Brando

But about to be first film to ever win 3 acting Oscars and Best Picture

No time for Oscar, Dr. Jones!

“No person is more important than profits!”

Umm …

On a side note, I still thought my favorite Oscar host was the year they did it with no hosts. But Jimmy Fallon is actually a close second. He keeps it moving along with no overly long joke segments. Hope they keep using him.

Looking at the wikipedia for Turn Down for What

Jason Newman of Rolling Stone described the video as “perfect insanity” and added, “It’s hard to pinpoint specifically what makes the video for DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s ‘Turn Down for What’ so compelling and ripe for repeat viewings.”[16] Edwin Ortiz of Complex called it “incredibly absurd and awesome” and wrote, “The hard-hitting EDM record delivers an undeniable vibe that listeners can’t help but mosh out to, and that’s clearly evident in the accompanying music video.”[17] Writing for Idolator, Robbie Daw said the video “takes things to a whole new level of WTF-ness not quite seen before.”[18]

I mean that also describe EEAAO pretty damn well
