91st Annual Academy Awards

[jmc]

Kirk and Picard?

 

[MadderMaximus]

Good, the other Black Panther nom I was rooting for.

 

[terry78]

BP again.

 

[jmc]

No problem with that award.

 

[flickchick85]

A well-deserved win for BP.

 

[jmc]

She can barely walk in that outfit, lol.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Another one for BP!

 

[jmc]

So, let me get this straight. They wanted to shorten the ceremony but they're allowing the speeches to go on longer?

 

[MadderMaximus]

I'm open for it winning Best Original Score too. I had to go back and listen to even remember it, but when I did, it managed to stick after that.

 

[terry78]

Cuaron got his.

 

[jmc]

I wonder what the record is for most nomination for an individual at one awards. Cuaron's got 4 today.

 

[flickchick85]

The first of hopefully a few Alfonso speeches tonight, lol.

 

[Guts]

20 films in, the MCU get its first Oscars.


Glad to see Roma win for cinematography. Great work there, especially that beach scene. While not overly showy, there were certainly times I find myself thinking, "wait, how is this being shot right now?"

 

[Manasrepublic]

So far the awards are well deserved. It’s just a shame the awards show themselves are so bland. I will say that The numerous indian awards shows have some really creative skits sometimes and real ricky gervais-type hosts that don’t take things too seriously. Some loosening up would help

 

[jmc]

At least the music broke the monotony.

 

[MadderMaximus]

The bad skits need to stop. That costume one was painful, almost as bad as the Fey/Pohler/Rudolph bit earlier.

It's the awards equivalent of a butter sandwich. Sure, you can eat it, but you wish there was something else on it.

 

[terry78]

Serena *****es.

 

[Schlosser85]

Amy Poehler I never find funny.

 

[jmc]

Why is Serena here?

 

[MadderMaximus]

Don't mind the BoRhap win for Sound Editing at all.

 

[Dark Raven]

Serena who? Serena Williams? If so, what does she even have to do with Hollywood?

 

[MadderMaximus]

Amy Poehler I never find funny.

I like Parks & Rec, but that's it, and hardly my fave performer on the show.

 

[redhawk23]

This might be the most scattershot Oscars ever, no one movie being able to steam roll through all the categories.

I really wish First Man would have won for Sound Editing.
