The 97th Annual Academy Awards

[Sawyer]

Joe Jackson was a monster but damned if that won't be a juicy role for him.

We’ve figured that the movie will probably gloss over the more damaging aspects of Michael’s life, but I do wonder how Joe will be portrayed.

Toned down to just being tough and no-nonsense or are we in for a black, male take on Mommie Dearest?

Either way, it'll be a tough task for him to top the Lawrence Hilton Jacobs performance in that miniseries. But I think he'll do it.

Oh God in Heaven, the way the trades choose to frame these things… you’d think her Oscar got dragged out, thrown up against a wall and shot right in front of her.

It might as well had.

This is false. It was based on a random twitter post.

Gadot's representatives confirmed to Newsweek that she was never supposed to present the Best Documentary award.

The Daily Beast isn't a trade, though

I still got a few BP noms I haven’t seen and don’t plan to do anytime soon. Lawd.

My favorite speech was one of Sean Baker's, the one about movie theaters. It made me think about how much I want to take my cousin's kids to see movies in a theater when they're old enough.

I feel this way, too,
But, I don’t know how many people took the time to listen to what, Baker said.

Am I the only one who believes that the ratings would have been higher if The Best Picture Leader in the Oscars race last night had been a big budget movie such as, Dune 2?

Journalism is dead, it’s all trades now.

That presumes that the broader audience keeps tabs on which way things are trending going into awards night.

I would bet that a good amount of people tune in thinking Dune had just as much a chance as the rest of them.

Let's make it the new Game Awards where we start placing movie trailers and teasers for the nominees next big films.

The team behind Emilia Perez is amazing. They are the gift that keeps giving... the worst soundbites ever recorded.

The actual video of this is pissing me off so much. He said this while the oscar actually handed to him for being involved in that god awful song sits on the floor behind him. “Since I didn’t win best director or best picture, I didn’t get the opportunity to speak. Had I had that opportunity, I would have spoken.” Mother****er you are being given the opportunity right now and you’re choosing to be petty because you don’t actually care about trans people or Mexican people for that matter. You just used them in your story for oscar bait. What an absolute piece of ****.

Honestly it could have been worse since there wasn't a Barbenheimer effect this year.

She did look stunned when Mikey's name was called but who can really blame her. You basically sweep the awards up to that point, you're automatically going to assume you've got the Oscar in the bag. I was sensing that it might go to Mikey once Anora started racking up all those wins.

Honestly it could have been worse since there wasn't a Barbenheimer effect this year.

If Wicked 2 has a "Return of the King" year at the next Oscars then I could see that generating a ratings boost.

I certainly wouldn’t mind that result at all.
