How is your holiday going? I'm in North Carolina for reasons that are too complicated and unrelated to my usual life to explain. Where are you right now? As I sit here, still digesting the morning after, I'm thinking about awards season and how thrilled I always am when it arrives and how it's amusing that it fills so many people other people with dread.
Even one of our team members here...
Happy Awards Season! pic.twitter.com/eB7iQlvFXX

The Boyfriend calls himself an "Oscar Widow" but most people who hate Oscar season have less personal and more pious reasons "movies are art! they're not in a race. It's so reductive. Oh, btw, check out my top ten list here http://bit.ly/hypocrite"
Since you're probably too full from yesterday's mad banquet to eat, please deour these delicious tweets instead after the jump...

People, #CaitlynJenner says she is STILL voting GOP in2016. Regardless of gender identity, I guess she identifies most as "uninformed."

A shock collar but for humans whenever they express an uninformed opinion.

Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman in Batman Returns is one of the most underrated things in movie history, even though so many love it.

Already looking forward to Adele's 35, where she just laughs and laughs at how dramatic she was a decade before.

So the crux of "Civil War" is that Cap will fight the entire government and half his friends because he loves Sebastian Stan? Saaaaaame.

THE REVENANT
Finally, THE REVENANT hit Twitter earlier this week, even if it's still a long way off in actual movie theaters (CHRISTMAS DAY). The tweets were all over the place but always passionate. I am not embedding any of the many "Leo will finally win an Oscar tweets" but know that there are a million of them... along with the requisite opposite opinion tweets "probably won't win" -- same as it ever was with this one.
Can't tell from early tweets if The Revenant is amazing or just internet-amazing.

U could type any of these Leo's new 'Oscar buzz’ articles w/out having made it to The Revenant. Same reactions/articles every time w/ him

"The Revenant" sounds like a toddler saying the name of a real movie.

THE REVENANT: next time it would be great if Iñárritu just murdered his leading man & saved everyone some time. as banal as it is beautiful.

The Revenant is a Malick-esque beautiful, grueling, cold, brutal tale of survival and revenge. Breathtakingly authentic, cinema to behold.
— Alex Billington (@firstshowing) November 25, 2015
THE REVENANT or from Birdman to Bear-man. A return to miserabilism for Iñarritu; where Malick finds wonder, he only finds pain and grunts.

THE REVENANT: A nearly three-hour prequel to a nearly three-month press tour of DiCaprio describing how difficult it was to make the movie.

"Honestly, we almost DIED making this movie..." has quickly become my absolute least favorite form of Oscar campaigning.

The Revenant: As far as holiday entertainments go, it makes Girl with the Dragon Tattoo play like Frozen.

Insert "CHILDBIRTH" for "THE REVENANT," "women seeing" for "men surviving," and then this would be accurate. pic.twitter.com/vj3VlXDgCn
