WHO IS PHARELL KIDDING WITH THAT DAMN HAT

 

[Taemin]

People on tumblr disagree with Leto winning... :/

"i find it funny how there is SO much downpour of hate and pettiness for women on the red carpet for such trivial reasons (im not exempt from it myself) but there's quite literally men walking the red carpet that has been charged with domestic violence and we're quieter than an audience at a nickelback concert"

"jared leto is a rapist who roughed up underage groupies and now he won over the academy by playing a trans woman because there's nothing the oscars love more than privileged people portraying tragic figures of communities they have no part in hahaHA"

 

[Taemin]

lmfao

Tumblr need to chill out, stop pointlessly hating people, and enjoy the awards. = w =

 

[Puddle]

People on tumblr disagree with Leto winning... :/

Everyone makes mistakes and some people out there just do it for the favorites/notes/etc.
It's funny that the negative attention that a celebrity gets that makes them famous is what annoys them. And yet, they post negative things about them for the social-networking fame. This world revolves around negativity and we can't look pass someone's past and look at the remarkable things that they do now.

It's absolutely pitiful and disgusting.

 

[Taemin]

It is. There's no proof that Jared Leto did anything. Plenty of people who've won awards and gained attention have done bad things. Rape is disgusting, and my opinion of him would drop a lot if it were proven true, but I've looked into it before, and there's no proof. Only what a 17-year-old girl claims, which, lets be honest, a lot of people lie for attention. I'm not blindly defending him. If it were true, more media would all over it. I'm sorry, but tumblr likes to blow things out of proportion.

Kudos to Jared Leto for handling / pulling off a transgender role, despite the hate towards that group of people, and winning an award for it.

Ugh. I don't want this thread to run into that. It doesn't need to take over the talk of the actual ceremony. v o v

So that aside:

1. Lady Gaga's dress was crazy. wow.
2. I wanna see 12 Years a Slave now.. xD
3. I'm holding my breathe waiting to see what Pink is gonna preform. aaaaaaah

 

[Livewire]

People on tumblr suck. Leto did an amazing job and went about creating the character in the right way. He's very deserving. Lupita was also very deserving of her's.

And I have no shame in admitting that Brad Pitt looks like a God.

 

[Taemin]

Brad Pitt is a very beautiful man. Yes. v w v

& I'm getting a kick out of the people sitting there eating pizza, oh my god, Ellen has such awkward humor, it's fab.

 

[antemortem]

rofl the people that were like 'um wtf' when Ellen was handing out pizza. XD; I also want to see 12 Years a Slave; Lupita's speech was so inspiring and touching.

 

[Ibraihim the Betrayed]

I just really, REALLY want Leo to finally win one. He's absolutely brilliant in every movie he's in, and Wolf of Wallstreet exemplifies that.

 

[antemortem]

Gravity's, what, 4th Oscar win tonight? I'm not sure it'll get Best Picture but by the looks of it, it damn well might.

 

[Taemin]

Yesss, I loved her speech. The Oscars are always so inspiring.

 

[antemortem]

aaaaand Pink performing in a gorgeous ruby dress ohodfihasl

 

[Taemin]

I HAD TO PAUSE AND I AM MISSING PINK AAAAH

i'll catch up to real time during the next commercial v o v

Also Gravity deserves what it's won, from what I can tell.

 

[antemortem]

Oh it does! Gravity was exceptional. Wouldn't be surprised if it won Best Picture but I don't think it will.

Pink's performance was gorgeous.

 

[Taemin]

Oh my god, that was fabulous.

What a pretty version of the song.

Her dress was based on the shoes, aaaaah ;w;

 

[Livewire]

I knew Pink could sing, but I didn't know she could sing like that. That was incredible.

And the hero montage melted my heart. T^T <3

 

[Ibraihim the Betrayed]

It wasn't Pink who JUST sang Wind Beneath My Wings was it? Cause I loved that, that was great.

EDIT: Jamie Foxx was hilarious.Dah dum dum dah dum, dum...

EDIT2: Gravity again!!
