Can we have Warren Beatty do a correction on the 2016 presidential race?  Oops, could the real winner come up on stage?

You know, you don't have to be a Millennial to make a mistake. Like, say, Faye Dunaway, who went ahead and read the damned thing even though it was apparently clear to Beatty that it was the wron

I just read a clever response — Chris Rock can take a punch; Will Smith can’t take a punchline.

Are they doing In Memoriam tonight? They haven't the past couple years from what I remember, after the year that they did some individual ones throughout the show and everyone just thought it was so depressing. 

They are. My girl Sara Bareilles is performing.

I lied when I said earlier when I had said I saw all the films because this was one I avoided!

This is me as well! I admit to not really being into superhero movies.

Another unpopular opinion is while I liked La La Land I did not like it as much as everyone else did. I preferred a lot of the other nominated films over it.

Well makeup and costumes pretty much screwed my oscar pool. Though I did put a Moonlight win for best picture so it was probably a bust anyway, but I really really want it to win.

I love musicals, and I liked La La Land. It just did not live up to the hype for me and I preferred so many of the other films instead.

Man, that Rolodex commercial was inadvertently sad, due to having a clip of Bill Paxton from Titanic.  Still not over what happened. 

Same.  I was shocked to find out he was 61 and so sad that he passed away.  We love his movies so much.

It was OK BUT underwhelming overall.  (I can't get City of Stars out of my head.) 

Taraji P Henson = when Cookie Lyon does couture.  LOVE.

My husband, son and I do picks among ourselves of what we think will we win...not what we necessarily want to win. I am 0 for 3 so far. Oh well. I agree about La La Land. I liked it but my two favorites are Hidden Figures and Arrival.

edited to add I picked OJ so now I'm 1 for 4. Lol.

I can safely say this is the first time I've seen any of the nominated films in the Documentary Feature category before the awards ceremony...in fact, I've seen two of them.  And one of them won!
