The academy doesn't have a specific designation for defining what makes a lead or supporting role. This has more information on it. http://movies.about.com/od/oscarques...ing-awards.htm

Peak Sam Jack.

Viola Davis

[BotheLaneFan]

Time after Time looks like the worst show ever.

[dmbetc]

I'm 6/8 currently

[BotheLaneFan]

This bit is tarded.

[thebridge15]

the writing for this show has been awful

[jenhen27]

Piper was pretty amazing. It really didn't look like animation at some points.

[justink]

Sting did that song, exactly, a few days ago in Houston as rehearsal.

He said he didn't want to do it on the Oscars without practicing in front of a crowd.

Kimmel has performed well, but he's definetly overcoming shit writing.

[BotheLaneFan]

3 guys went quicker than Viola Davis.

Even he wouldn't think this shit would be funny.

[mthawk07]

Along with our regular picks, my wife and I have two prop bets, which are the number of speeches that get cut off by the orchestra, and the number of speeches that reference Trump. 3 on the former, 1 on the latter so far.

[jenhen27]

So they cut these guys off pretty quickly. Why was Viola Davis allowed to go on and on? Do different awards get different amounts of time?

[BotheLaneFan]

This bit is stupid AND fake.

[DMBstandUP1984]

this is the most least surprised group of people I have ever seen.

i assume they signed release forms, no way this is real

Because it would look REALLY bad if they played off a black woman giving a speech about graveyards.

Ps, the only person who should give speeches about graveyards is The Undertaker.

It's Kimmel, of course it's fake.

[justink]

He's denzel so it's legal!

[UCFish]

Fake news should stop making so many commercials

Of course it was set up ahead of time, both for security and legal purposes. The black lady swooning over Denzel with her fiancé standing right there was worth the bit though.
