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

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!

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

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?!

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
