These Top 5 lists are totally bogus. The Snyder-bots were working overtime on this one.

Looks like THE POWER OF THE DOG is going down in flames. I wonder if they are going to grab at least one award or if they are going to go total goose egg.

I can't pay attention to anything Tracee Ross-Ellis is saying because I am waiting for her to come out of her dress.

While Robert Altman sat in the audience and mocked her. 🤬

Troy Kotsur is what the Oscars are supposed to be. Also, I love you, Chris Evans, but shilling your movie during the Oscars? NOT. COOL.

Remember this when another winner gets their speech cut off.

Any Top 5 Stand Up and Cheer Moments that doesn't include Han Solo coming to the rescue in STAR WARS is RIGGED. RIGGED, I TELL YOU!!!! (Shakes fist at screen...).

I like how the ENCANTO people divvied up the thank you speech so no one could get cut off.

Well, DOS ORUGUITAS is getting me all teary eyed like it always does...

A pathetic attempt to goose the ratings.

Says it all that they have enough time to do a salute to James Bond but not to allow someone to say a few words after he has WON A FREEKIN' OSCAR.

I suspect it will be like MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, in that it will rake in every technical award in sight, but the streak will come to a screeching halt once the Big 6 awards* started getting handed out. * - Movie, Actor, Actress, the two Supporting Categories, and Director.

For all parties involved.

This joke wouldn't have been so bad, but it is going on WAAAY TOOOO LOOOONG!

It isn't the Academy fault, but it is definitely the Academy's problem, as not being able to see these films is a big driver in the catastrophic ratings drop that has put the very existence of the Oscars on the chopping block.

The Academy would do itself a world of good of it changed it's rules to say that a movie was only eligible for an Oscar if it was in wide release or on a streaming service during the year it was competing in. None of this, "played for one week at only one theater in L.A." nonsense.

I disagree with this attitude, but it is typical of the thinking amongst Oscar voters that has made their awards show virtually irrelevant to any serious discussion of movies as a popular art. If they want to to continue to push their cramped, narrow, insular view of what constitutes "merit" in cinema, they need to accept that vast numbers of people will simply not care about or respect what they have to say on the matter. They are doing this to themselves. They are making their institution obsolete.

The joke here is that the Academy is doing everything to fix their ratings decline except the one thing that might actually save them, to wit: Stop turning the Oscars into the More-Obscure-Than-Thou Film Awards.

I'm so old I remember when the Costume Oscar was supposed to be the one that predicted the winner of Best Picture. Another possible reason they are moving at least Animated Short off prime time is that one of the nominees is an extremely controversial movie (BESTIA).

With this year's nominations, Steven Spielberg enters the record books as the only director ever to have received nominations in 6 different decades.

What the show did to A.J. Quartermain will always be the worst retcon in it's history. Always.

I got a copy of SOAP OPERA DIGEST that was their Best/Worst issue today, and can someone explain to me how GH could get more "Worsts" than all the other shows put together and still get named as "Best Show"?

Not just SBu. KeMo constantly acts like she can't stand to be in the same zip code as SBu, much less share a bed.

My favorite memory of RoHo will always be when he won his first Daytime Emmy and told his kids he'd try and get Big Bird's autograph for them.

The deep irony being that the death scenes may never happen, thanks to the show probably having to do a time jump or something after the lockdown.
