Tom Hanks speech was pretty badass. Denzel is one of my favorite actors, so this tribute was a treat to watch. Couldn't have picked a better person to present Denzel for that award. My two favorite actors by far.

I almost cried when Sly won tonight for Creed. The crowd reaction made it even better. Hearing that Rocky music playing when he won made it so friggin cool as well.

Leonardo DiCaprio won for Best Actor in a Drama for The Revenant and the whole place stood up as he accepted the award. As someone who once (years ago, mind you) called him the most overrated actor ever, I hope he finally gets that Oscar he so greatly deserves. Haven't seen The Revenant, but he's still the most overrated actor of all time.

Disagree....seeing movies like The Departed, Shutter Island, Inception, Django Unchained, and The Wolf of Wall Street have changed my view on him. He's a very talented actor.

Most overrated of all time is a big statement. He's not some world beater or anything, but he's good.

Well, I used to believe that when directors (especially Scorsese kept trying to shove him down our throats in leading roles) like Gangs of New York and the Aviator (two films I was not a fan of....especially of his acting him them). Once The Departed happened and then it kept going....I was willing to admit I was completely wrong. Right now, I think the most overrated actor (personally) is Alec Baldwin (I know he has been good in some films, but he has stunk in way more films).

Ah yes, the movies where he played the cocky guy ultimately undone by his own doing while pouting a lot. Fantastic range.

That might be way too general and applicable (to roles in most film) a stereotype to apply the "over-generalize and be dismissive to make things look simple" argument.

So after this year, I take it Will Smith is going to be the new butt of the "lolnooscars" memes.

Sylvester Stallone winning an award for playing Rocky, F*** YEAH! Double points for Will Smith looking the most excited out of everyone. The Philadelphia kid in Will Smith came out. To see Sly get a standing ovation was so overwhelming and special. I hope he gets an Oscar as well.

The Martian wins Best Comedy, {Spoiler}{Spoiler}because it was hilarious when Matt Damon lost all his food and nearly starved on Mars. I thought people were joking when I first read that. Like, it has some comedic moments, but it's in no-way a comedy film.

Like, it has some comedic moments, but it's in no-way a comedy film. But with the Golden Globes, the production companies behind these movies will place them in the category they think they'll win at. While The Martian is certainly not a 100% comedy, there's enough there to it to be considered a comedy. And seeing as how the Drama category was pretty stacked and Comedy was not, it makes sense for them to go in that direction.
