The 97th Academy Awards

[scarynikki12]

OF COURSE Kieran cursed and singled out his brother Jeremy from jump. Never change Culk.

[mariah23]

Hope Kieran goes easy on the Pepsi tonight.

[ShadowHunter]

I lost most of what Culkin said since it got muted. 

[Browncoat]

Congrats, Kieran!  

Did the sound cut out for a bit?

[dmeets]

Keiran forgot the speech he may or may not have written. How new this awards season!

I'm not familiar with her singing, really.  Is she always this breathy?

She was much less breathy than usual!  Sometimes I can’t even understand what she is saying. She did a great job tonight.

[kittykat]

And Roman gets the jump on Kendall again.

[scarynikki12]

Kieran Culkin can tell a story. Thank you to the orchestra for not playing him off and good luck to Jaz regarding those kids.

[AimingforYoko]

Kieran Culkin, I think benefitted from having a much more famous sibling, so he could more organically build his career. He actually seems to like his job, unlike Mac.

[thuganomics85]

Kieran already getting bleeped out.

A little mixed since I felt like he was more co-lead than actual supporting actor in that film, but I kind of love that he is suddenly halfway to an EGOT in a span of a year.

[ProudMary]

Kieran Culkin may have just given my favorite acceptance speech ever! 😄

Hey maybe it'll be twins.

He swore when talking about how great his TV brother Jeremy Strong was in The Apprentice.  I found it pretty endearing, and I want him only to tell stories about his wife forever – so adorable!

[dmeets]

At least his wife's a good sport after hearing her husband announce in front of an international audience "let's get to fucking!".

[ShadowHunter]

Cute speech from Keiran.

Well his brother was really followed around back in the day. His dad worked him like a dog. Child fame too early and everything like that. Mac is doing much better these days and seems happy.

[Browncoat]

Goldie looks fabulous.

[Is Everyone Gone]

Kieran's personality is so much like Roman's, down to the nervous inappropriateness. The Succession writers did a great job with this.

[dmeets]

Wow what a sweet moment between Andrew and Goldie.

[scarynikki12]

Love Goldie's dress and I hope she and Andrew leave the ceremony the best of friends.

I haven't seen any of them but, based on what I've read, the Animation category is an embarrassment of riches. Good for all of them.

[ProudMary]

I'm SO happy Flow won. It's amazing!

[thuganomics85]

Tough category.  The Wild Robot was one of my favorite films this past year, but I can't deny that Flow is a deserved win.

[Browncoat]

Wow! Hooray for Flow!  I loved Flow!  I fully expected The Wild Robot to take this one.

[AimingforYoko]

Remember when Pixar was a forgone conclusion in this category? Nice to see some little guys make it.

[shoregirl]

Aww Andrew Garfield telling Goldie how much she meant to his mother was lovely. 

Wow I don't know if this is a upset or not because I always assume the Disney film will win ( also Inside Out 2 was great)

 

[kittykat]

I mean obviously I'm happy about the kitty film winning 😁

[Browncoat]

I haven't seen any of the shorts.

I liked Wild Robot for the most part, but for the major flaw that geese do not have to be taught to swim or fly.  It's instinctive.

 

[scarynikki12]

These two are adorable. So glad their plane wasn't late!

The Wild Robot wss considered the frontrunner. Flow is a bit of an upset, but it's not out of left field.

[rwlevin]

They really only got their visa yesterday? Wow.

[dmeets]

I guess it was only a matter of time before Dr. Odyssey had a shark episode.

Was Moana 2 not eligible here? Or just not considered good?

[dmeets]

John Lithgow is runaway MVP tonight.

[KittyQ]

How on earth does Ariana Grande sit in that pink dress?

It was eligible, but I'd say it just wasn't as appreciated/acclaimed as the nominated quintet.

[scarynikki12]

Wicked for costumes!!

AWWW! Cynthia and Ariana screaming for Paul as he accepts his Oscar.

Hi Rachel Zegler! I know you love Paul too from West Side Story. Give that man his standing O!

[Browncoat]

Yay for Paul Tazewell and Wicked!

Sitting for Ariana looks really awkward.

She should have listened to us and kept the red dress.

[thuganomics85]

Damn, I guess even the podcast isn't enough for Conan that he needs to ask China for some work!

Wicked won't go home empty-handed at least.

[AimingforYoko]

Wonder how Nick Offerman was chosen as the narrator?

[shoregirl]

The costumes were exquisite in Wicked.

Haha Nick Offerman's pronunciation of Amy Poehlers name was great. He should announce more things.

[scarynikki12]

Heeeeee! Ron Swanson interrupting Conan.

I think we just found out 😄

[scarynikki12]

In all honesty, Shakespeare probably did say "writing is a bitch" just not in those exact words.

Anora's first.

[dmeets]

This bodes well for Anora tonight.

Is this the first shout-out the Oscars has given the sex worker industry?

Edited 17 hours ago by dmeets

[AimingforYoko]

I liked Anora a lot more than I thought I would. The script was a big reason.

[Browncoat]

Oh, wow!  I'm a little surprised about Anora's win.  Good for it!  And I've actually seen it!

[thuganomics85]

Anora takes screenplay, which is probably a good sign for its Best Picture chances.

He might not have won this round, but I'll be curious to see where Jesse Eisenberg goes from here as a writer.

[scarynikki12]

Conclave's first. 

[dmeets]

Conclave! Keeping it interesting

[Browncoat]

LOL at find the right adapter -- I've long said the world all needs to use the same plugs and voltage!

Hooray for Conclave!  I enjoyed that a LOT more than I expected to.
