The Academy Awards are Sunday and every year we hope we'll be entertained by the festivities.  Sadly, most years we are not.  The "entertainment" portion of the telecast never lives up to our standards and the acceptance speeches are less than stellar.

Up for best picture: Whiplash, American Sniper, Birdman, Boyhood, Selma, The Imitation Game, The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Theory Of Everything.
