Los Angeles is uncommonly windy at the moment. Dorothy Gale windy even. Nature Attacks!
But nevertheless I'm off to the airport to fly home to NYC after quite a fun busy week of Oscar buzz and AFI festivities. We'll catch up on anything we missed (surely a lot) in the next couple of days. In the meantime please to enjoy tweets that amused us most this week.
Beginning with this hilarity from Ryan Adams and moving on to Golden Globe categorization thoughts, Charlotte Rampling praise, Bradley Cooper schadenfreude and more after the jump...

Thanksgiving is the best holiday because it's about the entire family giving Oscar speeches.

Saw @45YearsFilm last night and now want to stay in bed for the rest of my life. Master class by Charlotte Rampling & Tom Courtenay.

Theater that has up poster for BURNT from when it was called ADAM JONES. The ones printed up as "Bradley Cooper, Whatever" never arrived.

One of the most disturbing aspects of ROOM? Realizing that the shed they're in is about the same size as my NYC studio apartment...

AND A FEW WELL TIMED NOTES ON CATEGORIZATION HIJINX
Carell is in BIG SHORT for about 30 mins and going lead. Vikander, Mara, Tremblay own their entire movies and are going supporting. Sure.

I'm kinda fine with the Globes calling The Martian a comedy? Come at me.

In fairness to The Martian, there are a number of disco songs in it, so it also qualifies as a musical.

The truth is HFPA should just do away with the submission process entirely. Decide for themselves from the start.

Any tips on how I can stop eating like a sad monster?

Any reference to Decision Before Dawn is usually cool since I know just about no one has seen it. That being sad, it's my favorite of the five 1951 nominees despite its obscure reputation, so Ryan Adams' tweet isn't really THAT cool.
The fact that shocked me more in Oscar '51 was a) Streetcar Named Desire lost to An American in Paris and 2) Marlon Brando lost for lead. So I have no surprise for Strangers on the Train (considers that Hitchcock'd films never perform well in Oscar).
