Trump can't help himself. Neither can the left. Water is wet.

Trump couldn't stand the fact that they'd gone the whole show without saying his name.

I'm really tempted to change my user name to George Slopanopoulos right now.

Hurry up and do it or I may steal your idea.

Ha, you can take it, it's a little too close to my real name quite frankly. Although I'd love to start posting on F16 under that name.

I legit thought that while Kimmel was reading the tweet, it was a gag such that the camera would pan to Matt Damon.

---

that would have been funnier. I thought it too.

It was an odd choice to have Michelle Yeoh do Emma Stone's intro and not Jennifer Lawrence, considering the close friendship between those two, as well as Yeoh and Gladstone having similar styles of "narratives" as first winners for their respective cultures.

JLaw was clearly just reading a teleprompter for Gladstone's intro.

Past Lives was good, should have gotten more attention. But IMO Killers of the Flower Moon was my favorite movie and felt should have won.

Oppenheimer had some great acting, but I was bored through most of it, and it was too blockbuster. Oppenheimer would be more of a great book that was too broad to make into a movie. The movie bounced around a lot, disjointed, too many sidetracks.

I'd think Emma was honored to have an icon introduce her. Yeah is one heck of an actress.

3 hours and 26 minutes.

I checked. Only seven shorter telecasts this century (including the pandemic year). Bravo!

The pace was great and never felt dragging. The nominee past winners was a nice add. Jimmy did well and had some good humor. Only hitch was the Japanese winner having great difficulty reading English.

And once again, none of you ****ers came to my Oscars party.

This is EXACTLY what I said in my live watch along. One of Scorsese’s mistakes with KOTFM was drugging Lily for like an hour of the movie and not giving us scenes in her mind or more visions for her to react to to deepen or reveal more of her character.

Emma was onscreen more… https://t.co/6CEs5sxxPw

Was hilarious that Spielberg, of all people, made news over the weekend for showing up at rehearsals.

They roll Pacino out there to close the show, who clearly did not show up for rehearsals, and it was the most efficient thing I've seen in my life.

A+ to everyone involved (definitely an accident, not on purpose).

We'll never see a faster show again. Even Kimmel doesn't know what happened.

Don't know why being on screen more would really be a metric

Because Stone absolutely carried Poor Things. Every last scene. She had far more heavy lifting to do. Whereas Gladstone had what amounted to a glorified supporting role. She made a phenomenal impact, and was the soul that movie, but in a dead heat I understand giving Stone the edge due to her sheer workload/responsibility. Never mind the evolution her character underwent over the course of the movie.

Don't think how much you are in the movie should matter, but it's obviously fine to think she did a better job. And the people voting did too.

There is a lot to unpack here if this is all accurate.

I would say this is why there is a supporting category and why they let you decide what you want to be considered for.

Gladstone's role is hard though, because within the context of KOTFM she is absolutely the lead actress in that movie, but, when compared to Stone's role in Poor Things, it's easy to see how it could be considered more of a supporting role. It was a calculated gamble to run in the lead category and it just didn't pan out. If she had run as supporting she probably would have swept through award season I think.

All I could think of during that.

So glad I'm not the only one who's seen Step Brothers so many times that Ave Maria has subconsciously become comedic. I started smiling at the beginning and couldn't figure out why, then it hit me.



Thinking back on the show last night and that might be the most enjoyable Oscars I've watched, it was great. I didn't get to watch every minute but the show felt pretty tight overall, not too much fat to cut IMO. This is the first Oscars in a while I've seen a lot of the nominated pictures, which could have helped. Several of the nominated pictures dropped on streaming services recently which helped in that regard. Personal highlight had to be the Gosling performance, so much fun. Having the former winners introduce the nominees was hit and miss for me, depending on who and what they were saying. Some of the speeches were fun, some were genuine and heartfelt, some were written by someone else and read from a teleprompter. Kimmel kept politics out until he was prompted by Trump himself. If the biggest flub of the evening was Pacino forgetting to announce the best picture nominees, that's not too bad.

I watched the Gosling "Ken" number earlier. It was a blast.

I follow Nita Strauss on social media and she had mentioned a few weeks back that she was sad to announced some shows being canceled because the headliner, Mammoth WVH, had to cancel but didn't give a reason.

I'm guessing it was to come back and rehearse for this and be at the ceremony. I saw Slash mentioned earlier but didn't realize Wolfgang was also there.

My only complaint is the names and pictures during the In Memorial segment are too small. It's too hard to read the names of the people they are memorializing. Much of the TV screen is filled with the dancers and not of the images of those they're honoring.

---

I said this exact thing to my wife. I could care less about the ballerinas - the segment is supposed to be about the people who have passed.

Agree with all of this
