thuganomics85 March 11 Share March 11 Willem Dafoe does strike me as someone at the top of list of people who are probably very lovely in real life but tend to play creepy or disturbing characters on screen. Poor Things does it again! 7 Link to comment

And now she's about to become a 2-time Oscar winner. Bleh. BEETLEJUICE!! (Don't say it again.) I never really paid much attention to Billie Eilish until "What Was I Made For," which is perfect for Barbie. Then True Detective: Night Country used her "Bury a Friend" for its opening credits, also perfect for the mood and material. Her songs (at least those two) have a way of getting stuck in my head. Also, didn't hairstyling and makeup used to be two separate awards? Maybe I'm thinking of SFX makeup... 1 Link to comment
kittykat March 11 Share March 11 Hairstyling never had a category but it got added to makeup a few years ago. 1 2 Link to comment

scarynikki12 March 11 Share March 11 Cena really does have excellent comedy skills. Zaslav needs to pull his head out of his ass and release Coyote Vs Acme stat. 11 1 Link to comment
pvandal March 11 Share March 11 I’m still surprised “Dance the Night” from Barbie wasn’t nominated. It’s popular and I’ve heard it twice already on the broadcast. 4 Link to comment
MerBearHou March 11 Share March 11 (edited) Have any of you seen Poor Things? I have not. What’s with all the love tonight? It’s beating some serious heavy hitters. Edited March 11 by MerBearHou 2 Link to comment
thuganomics85 March 11 Share March 11 Well, judging from the crowd reaction, Naked John Cena might be the frontrunner for next year's host. Although, we didn't get at least one cutaway to The Rock during all of this? Poor Things keeps on trucking! 4 Link to comment

KaveDweller March 11 Share March 11 Wow, lots of love for Poor Things. I thought Oppenheimer was the one that was supposed to dominate. Link to comment

DollEyes March 11 Share March 11 John Cena presenting the "Best Costume" Oscar naked is more unpredictable than Barry Keoghan. Yay "Poor Things"! 4 Link to comment

slowpoked March 11 Share March 11 Wow, Poor Things sweeping the visuals components of a movie. I thought this is where Barbie would clean up some. 5 Link to comment
AimingforYoko March 11 Share March 11 Ok, I was skeptical, but the Cena bit was pretty good. Well, Lanthimos' movies are known for their unique look, so I guess it figures? 2 Link to comment

I'm starting to wonder if we won't see a complete BARBIE shutout. The Oscar voters showing that they didn't appreciate the controversy over the Actress/Director snubs, or them just not deeming the movie to be weighty enough to stand in the august company of previous Oscar winners. 2 1 3 Link to comment

slowpoked March 11 Share March 11 Cena’s bit is awesome, because it’s a great segway to a category, and not just one of those corny bits that end up not going anywhere. Put aside the 5 presenter-bit thing, this has really been a well-written, well-paced Oscars so far. 15 Link to comment

thuganomics85 March 11 Share March 11 Nice to see a song like that featured at the Oscars. No disrespect to the other nominees, but it would have weird as hell if The Zone of Interest didn't win this. 3 Link to comment
scarynikki12 March 11 Share March 11 Spielberg said The Zone Of Interest is the best Holocaust movie since his own Schindler's List, so you know it's quality. 6 2 Link to comment

Crashcourse March 11 Share March 11 27 minutes ago, DollEyes said: Yes! "American Fiction"! It's on MGM+ and it's brilliant! ITA with making more $ 5 & 10 million dollar movies along with the $200 million dollar ones because the smaller the budget, the bigger the risks-and sometimes, as this Oscar proves, the rewards. I just watched it today on MGM+ and I loved it! I agree about wanting more smaller budget movies. 3 1 Link to comment
thuganomics85 March 11 Share March 11 Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling are here to cause a brawl between Team Barbie and Team Oppenheimer, I see. I guess that slap from Will Smith two years ago just open the floodgates, dammit! 6 5 Link to comment
