91st Annual Academy Awards

[MadderMaximus]

I would've taken either Ali or Elliot.

That's exactly who I was hoping for.

I really appreciated that John Ottman, who won for editing Bohemian Rhapsody, ended his speech with "good thoughts, good words, good deeds" which is a Zoroastrian principle (Freddie Mercury was Zoroastrian).

I'd rather pretend Mahershala just won for killing it on True Detective, lol.

It's a nice touch to throw into his speech but he shouldn't have been giving the acceptance speech in the first place.

My bad

 

[James T. Kirk]

I knew Mahershala Ali would get that.

You mean Dern, @kvz5 ?

Haven't seen it. The editors in the academy nominated it as one of the best, and then the academy voted for it as best...so...I'll assume it was at least decent.

Close enough.

I legitimately used to think they were the same person when I was younger, lol.

spidey!!!!

After watching that clip of BR going around criticizing the editing, I have no idea how it won.

Because the Oscars have very little to do with craft. It especially applies to the technical awards like editing and cinematography. No movie with a scene in it like that should ever when for editing. It's truly awful. Remember, Deakins finally won just last year. They keep nominating Delbonnel.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Very good year for animated movies. Nice job for Spiderverse.

 

[titansupes]

Re: it all feeling worse this year-- For me personally, I don't think it's because of the hostlessness, I think it's just because I don't have any horses in the race this year... and like the last few years, I'm increasingly bored of the general self-importance.

I use to get Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman mixed up.

That's your Mount Everest, isn't it?

 

[terry78]

A Spider-Man movie has officially won an Oscar. Stan would be proud.

[samsnee]

Spider-verse was well deserved.
