Jimmy Stewart didn't like Black people.  Tom Hanks has relatives who are Black people so I'll take Tom Hanks every time.

Really? I knew he was super duper conservative but unlike John Wayne I've never heard "Jimmy Stewart racist" stories again.

[mtlchick]

Why do I suddenly want a Tom Hanks/Martin Scorsese movie?

 

I loved the part about actors should be on time for work, considering some people in the room are infamous for showing up hours late. 

 

I know the day Tom Hanks passes on, we are so damn screwed.

When his son yelled out, "I love you Dad!" I melted.

Loving Helen Mirren's dress!!

[thuganomics85]

A bit too long, but still a good speech.  Loved his praises for his sons, even if one of them is apparently a failed rapper.  And Colin thought appearing in the sixth season of Dexter was a good idea.  No one's perfect!

The shot of Henry Winkler though did remind me about their beef and I'm really curious about what the full story is.

Haven't seen 1917, but it certainly looks well-directed enough.  Probably will look great on the big screen.

Upset for Scorsese

I mean, Mendes thanked him, but Scorsese still looked like he was just told his dog was run over.

Several that have won seem like they didn't expect it. I love it!

[sally-can-wait]

Ugh. I really wanted Bong Joon-ho to win for Parasite. 

[truthaboutluv]

WOAH...huge fucking upset there. Everyone was positive that this was a two man race between Bong Joon Ho and Scorsese. I still think Bong Joon  Ho is wining the Oscar though.

He didn't burn any crosses, but he didn't keep it a secret.  I read it in a biography and it was such a disappointment.  He's such a good actor and has been in so many great films.  I've had to work hard to separate the artist from the man.

This isn't the Oscars, Tom  We don't need a looooong speech. 

For the Cecil B DeMille, they normally block off roughly 15 minutes for it.  As for his speech, it was pretty short compared to a few others.  I felt Denzel Washington's took FOREVER.

Always. I’ve said for a while that I want Hanks to do another live action comedy and Marty can bring the funny so put them together. 

[mojoween]

Rita Wilson has five kids?!?

Tom did mention Peter Scolari by name.  
 

We have tickets for Friday for “1917” and it’s a long way to Friday.

[scarynikki12]

I want Parasite but I have heard that Mendes direction was outstanding.

What beef?  Who has a beef with Tom Hanks?

I believe it’s four. Colin is from Tom’s first marriage.

That was my same thought. Was there no one else to present this award?

I'm guessing Meg Ryan said no, especially as she's been mostly out of the public eye for awhile now. 

[bmoore4026]

Well, that Mulan movie looks neat.

[mtlchick]

She has two with Hanks.  He has 2 kids with his first wife.  Which is why I'm confused he said 5.

And Denzel spent the whole show looking like he hated life, being there, and everyone around him.

Wow. That is disappointing. Although good for Hitchcock (in Vertigo) and Frank Capra (in It's a Wonderful Life) for tapping into his dark side. 

I did read a biography that his friendship with Henry Fonda was mostly Hollywood publicity and the two were pretty distant towards each other.

[mojoween]

I’ve never seen the Mulan cartoon (and WTF, self, you have Disney+ so nothing is stopping you) but the live action looks really good.  I’m wondering if it’s because I have no preconceived notions how much I already love the cartoons or it’s because Disney finally got one right.

[slowpoked]

I haven't seen 1917 so can't speak for Mendes, but I was hoping HFPA would reward Bong Joon Ho. The flow and misdirection of Parasite is just so amazing and on another totally different level. No one would have expected that third act after watching the first two, but Bong just weaves the flow of the film so seamlessly and efortlessly.

Is one of them married? He could have included a son/daughter in law?

I don’t know why but it seems like Denzel is often cranky when he’s not performing.  I’ve felt that way for awhile.  A shame because I like him as an actor almost 100% of the time.  He just seems like a grumpy guy IRL.

sad but true.  Also "very random." https://people.com/movies/henry-winkler-addresses-tom-hank-feud-rumors/

[chitowngirl]

Could Tom be including his daughter-in-law in his child count?

[Fostersmom]

WTF is she wearing? 

[MVFrostsMyPie]

The live action Mulan better have Mushu, although it loses points if Eddie Murphy isn't voicing Mushu.

(Kind of like how Will Smith is a piss-poor replacement for Robin Williams's Genie).

[absnow54]

Is Cate Blanchet’s dress DUCT TAPED on?

[pinkandsparkly13]

I used to love watching these award shows and keeping up with movies and TV shows, even if I didn't watch them. But I haven't much lately. What are all these shows and movies? Lol Marriage Story, Parasite, Succession, Fleabag? All my friends are talking about on SM lately is "You"

I think award shows really stress him out so he goes hard on staying focused to cope.

Everyone is saying I should be into Adam Driver, but I just can't. 

You and me both, despite his performance in BlacKkKlansman.

Not bad intro for a comic book movie.

[sally-can-wait]

And now Cate Blanchett is presenting Joker? What is happening??!!

[wallflower75]

*sigh*  I'm trying to figure out how to describe what Cate Blanchett is wearing and I'm not having any luck.  Suggestions?

[mtlchick]

Why have I not seen Joker?  I thought this would be up my alley and yet never found the time.

That or he misspoke or he and Rita have some big news...

If Murphy isn't doing MuShu, I'm out.  'My baby is saving China!'

Why is she wearing empanadas on her sleeves

What, no mention of Bosom Buddies? 

They showed a clip and Tom also gave a shout out to Peter Scolari.

[thuganomics85]

Ah, Joker.  The most popular money-wise, but also most polarizing nominee!

2 of the nicest actors, Winkler and Hanks, have a beef?  I would love someone to spill the tea.  But I bet we will never know.

Michelle Williams got parked in the back?!
