I predicted 14 winners, not bad for my first year of predicting. I didn't get director, adapted screenplay, editing, sound editing, documentary short, action short, animated feature, costume design and original score.

P.S. They have no clue about social media, obviously, so why are they talking about it?

How many videos of these 2 gaylords are needed, really? You had one bull session of the cranky old four-eyes bitching about insignificant things, and you chopped it up into like 10 no-content videos.

These 2 creeps do not enhance NYT online. Mien Gott ! (No one running NYT has a brain).

I think that these old farts really think Naomi Watts, Charlize theron etc. where offended by the boob song. They were all playing along, it was pre recorded. LMAO Seth was a great host.

NYT, what are you doing? Stop posting these hacks' videos. Of all the people you could put in a Youtube video, why would you choose these cranky old farts?

Seth was fantastic. Seriously I can't believe Scott and Carr couldn't see the comedic genius of his opening sequence. Stick to film reviews, because you don't know funny.
