The 96th Academy Awards

[scarynikki12]

Ok I remember reading Pacino is presenting so, now that Spielberg's done Director, Al's coming out for Picture. Unless I read wrong but I hope not.

[DollEyes]

Yay Cillian Murphy and Christopher Nolan! I'm calling it now: "Oppenheimer" wins Best Picture! 👑👑🏆🏆

[chitowngirl]

Thanks to all who corrected me and saw that Matthew Perry was, in fact, in there. What a shame to those who passed.

[FoundTime]

Love the cheeky commercials showing some Barbie love.

Find it funny that anytime the Oppenheimer cast is mentioned, they always say Matt Damon's full name while everyone else is just their first one.

Especially with Kimmel hosting. 

[wallflower75]

Ooooh, love Michelle's dress!!

[Browncoat]

I do not like the polka dot dress.

[yowsah1]

And Sally Field continues to look half her age...

I still think he will show up.

[Thumper]

No Warren with Annette?

[ebk57]

Jessica Lange is a goddess.  I can't wait to see her on stage in a few weeks

[Calvada]

Is it just my TV or do some of these people seem really orange?  Jennifer Lawrence and Matthew McConaughey just to name two.  Is it the lighting on the stage?  

[scarynikki12]

Well Emma clearly didn't expect to win.

Jimmy teased a Matt Damon “something” on his show. So I’m still hoping!

[JeanJean]

Shocked me that it's not Lily Gadstone.

[ShadowHunter]

Well I guess we kind of had a surprise. Congratulations Emma.

[MerBearHou]

Wow, the love for Poor Things continues.  

[Browncoat]

I'm thrilled for Emma, but Lily Gladstone was robbed.  I mean, Emma was fantastic, but Lily was sublime.  This was such a tough competition!  I was rooting hard for Lily.

[AimingforYoko]

Mild surprise, but I had her second after Lily Gladstone.

[slowpoked]

EMMA!!!!!!

[Phebemarie]

Darn.  

[yowsah1]

Emma Stone pulls off the upset!

(And apparently also has a wardrobe malfunction...)

[thuganomics85]

Damn, I imagine that was a close one.  But Emma really did give a tour de force performance in Poor Things, so I won't argue against it. 

[kittykat]

Emma Stone snags #2.  The battle of the 'Stones was a close one.

Looks like Killers is joining Maestro in the goose egg department.

[MerBearHou]

Great speech by Emma.

[ShadowHunter]

Emma seems very flushed. I think she really thought she wasn't going to win.

No, she didn't.

It's very rare that you see that kind of genuinely shocked reaction. Halle Berry had it too.

Talk about a wild card. I thought it was a toss up between Gladstone and Mulligan.

[wonderwoman]

haven’t seen ‘killers of the flower moon.’’ 

but, while i’ve only made through half of ‘poor things’ — struck me as weird for the sake of being weird, and i’m not sure i’ll finish watching — it’s hard not to admire emma stone’s performance. 

[TenPea]

Now THAT is how you do a speech.  Good job, Emma. 

[Dirge]

"Don't look at the back of my dress," adorable. 

[thuganomics85]

Ha, Kimmel will never, ever forget about the La La Land/Moonlight kerfuffle!

[Browncoat]

Oooooh, burn.

[wallflower75]

LOL, Jimmy--good point, make sure that envelope gets ripped up!!!

[Linderhill]

every year there is at least one movie that I get very tired of seeing winning or hearing about, so far Oppenheimer and Poor Things are tied for that honor for me.

I thought it was Lily or Emma but Lily winning SAG had me thinking she'd take it tonight and I guess Emma agreed.

[ebk57]

Isn't it past your jail time?

 

hahahahahaha

Indeed. I got a Moulin Rouge feel from it in the best way.

Damn, damn, damn, I love you Emma, but I wanted Lily! Her speech was great though.

Whoa, was that post Jimmy read real?

[Browncoat]

Are we coming in under time?

[FoundTime]

I didn't realize how hard I was rooting for Emma Stone until I found myself holding my breath as the envelope was opened.

Great speech. Left me a bit verklempt by the end.

I had Lily on my ballot because of the SAG win.  Emma winning is a-ok by me though.

[scarynikki12]

Pacino is a huge theater nerd so I wouldn't object to him actually doing some Shakespeare.

[wallflower75]

We're absolutely sure he's got the right envelope???

[scarynikki12]

Oppenheimer cruises to Best Picture.

[slowpoked]

Emma is probably the biggest surprise and upset of the Big 5 category.

She probably pulled a significant part of the international vote, because we know Lily had most of the actors cohort.

[mariah23]

And happy early birthday to Emma’s little girl!

[AimingforYoko]

Looks like Shake Shack will be giving away free burgers this week.

Oppenheimer, what a shock.

[DollEyes]

Yay, Emma! Her acceptance speech was humble and adorable. That she "broke" her dress is so relatable. I'm watching "Poor Things" on Hulu the first chance I get. 

Hopefully, Lily, your time will come.

Yes, he did a documentary called Looking for Richard that I enjoy.

[Browncoat]

It might have been beneficial if Pacino had read out the names of the nominees before just ripping open the envelope.

[thuganomics85]

Oppenheimers wins as expected, and since we are actually coming in under time for once, feel free to talk away, guys!
