Well that was the best opener ever

Thanks for updating your blog

That was pretty funny. Skellen Skarsgard thanking the makeup artist who gave him eyebrows was also very funny

That Epstein joke.

They should have ended the show after it was done, nothing will top it for the rest of the night

EDIT: Bill Hader was robbed on the first award

Sam Mendes just beat out Scorcese AND Tarantino for Best Director.

Can 1917 please open wide TOMORROW????!!

he's such a dewsh

"our industry"

say it like a British monarch and it sounds right

lol Joaquin Phoenix is such a weirdo

He really is. He's an amazing actor, but that speech alone made me want to actively root against him for the Oscars.

Everyone in the crowd just looked uncomfortable listening to that

Ricky pulling no punches, I love it

You know it's funny... I really like him as an actor, and I don't think there's anyone that would argue he's not a great actor. He absolutely is... and he was phenomenal in Joker. I liked Joker, and he was great in it, but to me I just can't get behind him winning Best Actor. I think it's a couple of things...

I just don't think it was a stretch for him. I mean we've seen him play this type of character before several times (and always really well), but while the psychologically-tormented, lonely, disillusioned, male is always a choice role for films, I mean we've just seen it a million times in films.

And secondly, he's not even the greatest performance of this character. That's no knock on him, Ledger gave one of the most legendary performances ever... but it's hard for me to say he should win best Actor when he wasn't even the best Joker.... which kind of just goes back to my first point. The Joker is one of the best characters ever and provides any actor with a chance to give this type of performance. So it may just be the character itself that's great.

Jesus speaking of the Joker... Renee Zellweger's face looks like the latest comic version

"Our next presenter starred in birdbox...a movie about people who survived by pretending that they didn't see anything...kinda like working for Harvey Weinstein"

Ok Banner

An award show that recognizes comedy doesn't seem to care for it from the host

holy ****

Why does it matter if it was the best performance of a character? Are we going to take the Oscar away from Brando or De Niro?

That buffoon ruffalo is getting his hypocritical sorry ass handed to him in the comments...the entertainment industry ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT lead by example not matter how much virtue signaling they do...what a joke!
