    He needs a role where he doesn't wear a suit.

    The bit was a little too long because she was pausing a lot, but i thought it did well and they did look interested.

    Apparently, they are really hungry because they spend so much time getting ready and then directly to doing interviews, red carpet, etc. Good job by Ellen. They should have just tricked the delivery guy into walking onstage alone for second or two.

    Ron Woodroof was gay, he wasn't shown that way in the movie, but he was into dudes in real life.

    To be fair, that claim is simply hearsay. He was around gays all the time, and the movie showed that he was frustrated he couldn't have sex as being a heterosexual male with AIDs... so could he have reached out to fill that need with dudes? Anything is possible.

    Fincher would work as well, but I'm not sure if Fincher would want him. He doesn't seem like a Fincher leading man.

    In all actuality, I think he'll get his first Oscar in a supporting role - like Christian Bale.

    Looks like the "delivery guy" was actually the owner of the pizza chain...this is going to be huge for them:

    Don't forget the Nazis! And mental impairment. Make it a developmentally disabled homosexual transvestite slave in a concentration camp and it's Oscar GOLD!

    You obviously did not live in Dallas in the 80s. Or Texas. Woodruff was a homosexual and it was more likely he contacted AIDS through anal sex in real life. I felt it was implied in the movie but I knew the backstory. Congrats on the baseless vitriol- empty vessels make the most noise. Leto did not move me or anyone who saw him as a person instead of a transv. Fassbender was more moving as he did not play it safe and truly made you despise him. I dont call myself intelligent or modern but it's plain to see how to tickle the pseudo intellectuals.

    To me great actors make a complex person simple. But apparently with all the smarties out there, enslaved Nazi homo grannies are the only complex people out there.

    Hearsay? I mean if this was court, but it wasn't a secret he got with dudes. The movie wanted to play up some homophobic character arc that didn't exist in real life.

    Then what you gentlemen seem to be doing is projecting reality onto Hollywood.

    Pretty sure of your convictions there it seems. Whatever you need to do to reinforce the waves that stir your little Seventh Day Adventist communal morality pool.

    I guess next you'll tell me Jordan Belfort really did smash up a new Lambo while ****ed up on Ludes.

    I watched about half of the show. I kept switching back but the show was rather boring. I found all the audience interaction to be difficult to watch and not very funny. Ellen is not my favorite host I guess.

    There also weren't any movies or actors that I was really rooting for to win anything. I usually enjoy watching the Academy Awards, but this year was a downer for me. I watched the Golden Globe Awards earlier this year and found it entertaining, so I don't know.

    You were the one who blew a gasket about the whole thing trying to correct someone.

    In the movie, (which is what the Academy is judging I believe) it appeared Ron Woodruff had sexual intercourse with females, so I don't think that would make the character Ron Woodruff a "homosexual with AIDS".

    My point remains valid.

    He can star in a remake of Raging Bull (this was from an Albert Brooks movie "The Muse"):
