Ray, did you watch the show? And if not, what is your take?

And if yes, what did you think? :b

No, I didn't watch it.

Actors/etc I don't know, being awarded for films I didn't see... I just check the headlines the next day, and in this case, found Chris Rock whom I like a bit.

I know Leo, and saw Ex Machina on Amazon recently, and know Enrico from his work in the past. Hateful Eight I'll see someday, and Spectre, maybe others as they come along on 'TV' and catch my eye.

It was horrible. Poor action scenes as well. I hardly liked any movie last year, anyway. Try watching A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, it was the best from last year. Iranian, directed in the US though.

Interesting, a vampire movie.
