Oscars 2016

#Oscars2016: AKA #Leoscars! Loved #MadMax/#Hart/#LouisCK/#Ennio/#Leo speeches; #Grohl/#Gaga perfs & #ChrisRock! Devastated by #Rocky #Oscars 

Oscars Bad Form with Short Doc Winner

PS. #Oscars pay lip service to movies changing the world & then play off #Sharmeen as she talks about #AGirlInTheRiver changing a country.

Lady Gaga Loses the Oscar

I was wrong, #SamSmith wins the most undeserved #Oscar  in the history of all mankind. Nice chap, awful song esp compared to #Gaga.

Sylvester Stallone Loses the Oscar!

The most undeserved #Oscar in the history of mankind! What a self-congratulatory performance by #Rylance. Poor #Sly. #Rocky!!! #Oscars 

Wawrinka Wins Dubai

Congrats to #Stanimal on winning #Dubai. But this first glimpse into post-#Federer #Tennis is terrifying & inconceivably sad. #sigh #RF

Celeb Sighting: Richard Kind

2nd-Greatest Celeb Sighting, Ever!: Richard Kind prowling the pre-Oscar streets of Beverly Hills!

RIP Tony Burton

RIP Tony Burton. So great in all those Rocky movies. That "Hurtin' Bombs" speech from Rocky Balboa is a classic! bit.ly/1TJ1En2

The Gift

#TheGift: Edgerton could be a great director! This is not Haneke-level but comes close! Good to see Bateman (playing against type) & Hall.

Amazing Aga-Vinci Match

I know 10s of people saw but that #Aga-#Vinci match was a shotmaking momentum-see-sawing bonanza! Insane! #Radwanska #WTA #QatarOpen #Doha

Mistress America

#MistressAmerica: Wonder what the titular character would think of Kirke stealing the movie away from Gerwig? Great score by @deanandbritta!

Welcome to Me

#WelcomeToMe: Criminally underappreciated dark comedy of the laugh-till-it-hurts variety. Fabulous ensemble led by an incredible #Wiig!

Brendon McCullum Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: #Brendon #McCullum retires. Fabulously entertaining cricketer & model for what captain should be. #Baz

RIP Douglas Slocombe

RIP Douglas Slocombe. Legendary DP of the Indiana Jones movies and the great Ealing comedies. So many great movies...

When Marnie Was There

#WhenMarnieWasThere: More restrained than better-known fare, but just as emotional and affecting. Bittersweet melancholy #Ghibli coda.

Heath Miller Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: #Heath #Miller retires. Criminally underrated player. #Steelers won't be the same without him #ThankYouHEEEATH

RIP Harper Lee

RIP Harper Lee. As a kid the movie was legendary in my house; I understood the power of its source when I finally read the book. Thank you.

RIP George Gaynes

RIP George Gaynes. Loved him growing up in Punky Brewster & those awesome Police Academy films. What a long and great career.

Kung Fu Panda 3

#KungFuPanda3: Terrific & fun trilogy-capper. Loved the fact they gave Hong & Duk Kim more to do. Is DreamWorks inching ahead of Pixar?!

Kendrick Lamar at the Grammys

Well, my nephew did warn me that #Kendrick #Lamar was amazing! Your move #Grammys...! @TheGRAMMYs @kendricklamar

Venus Williams Wins 49th Career Title

Congrats to #Venus #Williams for defying the odds (& medical issues) to win her 49th(!) title. Great #tennis champ refusing to go quietly...

Deadpool

#Deadpool: Awe-bl**dy-some! Welcome back Ryan Reynolds, all is forgiven! Best (Ultraviolent-Meta-Superhero) Valentine's Day Movie, Ever!

Where To Invade Next Released

Sad to hear about @MMFlint's health issues No matter what your political beliefs #WhereToInvadeNext is a must-see Funny & (gasp) optimistic!

Cam-LeBron Similarity

#Cam 2016=#LeBron 2011: Polarizing uniquely-talented face-of-league falls to well-liked vet. Redemption gets huge ratings. Win for #NFL/#NBA

Denver Broncos Win Super Bowl 50

Love the guy but upcoming #Peyton #Manning (HGH-less) hagiography will be insufferable. #WadePhillips/#Panthers Defense uda real #MVP! #SB50 

SoCal Edison Outage Response

#coldplay and #beyonce did rock! Please enter your address at sce.com/outage for updates on the restoration time.

SB50 Halftime Show

#Coldplay rocked the #SB50  halftime show so much they blew our power out! Where's a desi genny when you need one?! @SCE

Horrible Start for the Panthers

This is *exactly* what I was afraid of! #SB50 effectively over. Cue the insufferable #Peyton apologists (HGH be d*mned) & #Cam haters #Sigh!

Super Bowl 50 Preview

No one giving the #Broncos any chance makes me nervous. I've seen last-leg legends (#Federer!) stumble at the end so hope for #Panthers yet!

Chi-Raq

#ChiRaq: Uneven/overlong urgent Spike polemic that enrages & entertains. Parris is a star in the making! Ably supported by Bassett & Snipes

India Whitewash Australia in T20 Series

Winning a series in Australia is a heck of a thing but to do it the way #IND did is a h*ll of a thing! Incredible effort by #Raina! #AUSvIND
