wow, i don't have it on, but thought i would check the thread, if this is any indication, almost zero fucks given here, then hollywood is in deep shit

The ceremony always takes place at this time, but you have the illusion of nighttime since it’s traditionally broadcast from an auditorium, and most are in formalwear. Choosing to place it in a train station, with sunlight streaming thru the windows, was a bad idea. Low energy, long winded, meh.

It would help maybe if people clapped more. But this was not a great year for movies. 

The Trial of the Chicago 7 was rather excellent. Also saw the Sound of Metal and took a nap halfway through Mank. There you go. I’m a regular fucking Siskel and Ebert 

The reason the Grammys worked and this doesn’t is the former was built around the musical performances. This is just boring because all the usual Oscar fare is missing.

Sound of metal is a good flick 

I think it’s the only one of these I’ve seen. Riz is a badass though. 

Guess I'll watch Minari now. No idea what it's about but consensus is it's good. I liked Nomadland, and expecting it to get some shine in a bit. Frances getting a statue for sure.

This is terrible 

15 minutes left and the big awards still not done yet?  Geez.  Maybe trim this shit down to 2 hours, and people would actually watch.  4 hours of awards show.  No fucking thanks.

I think the train station is kind of a cool backdrop compared to the usual theater.

Director, both supporting actress/actor and both screenplays are done 

Glenn Close tried to save this year..... Slayed, but I don't think it's enough, but what a hilarious moment.  She's fantastic.  Stevie Wonder for In Memoriam was a great choice too.

Actor/Actress/Picture not done.  This shit is supposed to be done at 11.  

Wait, they're not closing with best picture?  Since when?

It always goes over. Sometimes by 15-20 minutes.

The best actor and actress oscars should be obvious at this point. 
 

soderberg directed a dud of an oscars. Boring as fuck.

The acting is good, the movie is terrible.  Most non stop depressing movie of all time, it just drains your soul.

It shouldn't.  Honestly, there is a lot of bullshit filler in this.  Ratings are getting worse and worse.  They need to keep these things tight.

So is Best Actor the last award so they can end the show with The Black Panther winning it?

No

womp womp

What a stupid ending. Why not end with Best Picture? You either were going to get a guy who wasn't there or a guy who passed away as the winner. 

Yeah, that was the most uninspired Academy Awards broadcast I’ve ever seen. As BabaBooey would say, “A bit of a misfire.”

Frances McDormand is now all alone in 2nd place with 3 best actress wins

Worst Oscars period. 
 

it would be cool to see Glenn Close and Willem Defoe eventually win one.

Agreed that Oscars was horribad.  The worst part for me was seeing Harrison Ford.  I know he is old but man he looked really old.  I have thought he looked old for the last decade but something about his face tonight made him look like a really old man.  Even sadder was his voice.  It sounded like it was fading.  No idea how he can play Indiana Jones again.

Try to imagine them different. I do admire that Fran is a blank slate. She is who she is and her work speaks it. I remember when she played that crazy Longhorn fan. she is still bad ass. She doesn’t care how she looks at an awards  ceremony.

His nose is growing

There were movies last year?

I had no idea Anthony Hopkins was nominated for Best Actor until he won.

I liked Nomadland but I will probably never watch it again. Saw Chicago 7 and really liked it. Next up is Judas, Promising Young Woman and Mank.

Diane Warren is a great song writer. If you like songs. I guess not good enough.

Saw them all. I felt the most compelled by Sound of Metal. Jmo.

Tenet won one. 

Fuck y'all.

So far Tenet and Mank were the only ones I may remember from this year.  I did like the guy with the dog on Sound of Metal but that was some shitty music Riz was playing.  Would have won if it had been called The Sound of the Rabaab.

  1. (Caveat, I haven't seen the one about the Black Panther Party, which I heard was good.)

Chicago 7 was a great script poorly executed starting with casting Borat.  He was 15 years too old. Eddie Redmayne made it even worse.  It was fine when it should have been excellent. Wrong people were acknowledged. 
 

Nomadland was good. Not great.  Well executed. 
 

Judas & Black Messiah was important for telling Fred Hampton story but it whiffed on the guy Stanfield played and what his motivations were. 
 

Haven’t seen Minari or The Father. 
 

Sound of Metal was really, really good. Riz should have won best actor in a landslide.
