The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[mojoween]

Ezra Edelman is also super fine.

OJ: Made in America is well worth the eight hour investment.

[ShadowHunter]

The only documentary I saw was O.J. so glad it won.

[sally-can-wait]

The OJ doc was amazing.

[thuganomics85]

Look like there were a lot of good documentaries in this category, but everything OJ-related tends to win these days.  Except OJ Simpson himself...

[ebk57]

I actually watched this movie - it was wonderful.

 

Mr Tony will be happy tomorrow!

[AimingforYoko]

Excellent speech, Ezra.

Do it.  You won't regret it I promise.

[merylinkid]

Kimmel is trying to be funny and it's not working for me.

13th was great as well but OJ should have won for the sheer length and depth of it alone.

Jeez, Kimmel, you get a chance to make an OJ joke and that's what you go with??

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Mel's girlfriend looks even younger than if she were actually his daughter. Is she legal?

It was surprisingly excellent.  Very, very well done.

[thuganomics85]

Aww, I would have loved the orchestra forever if they actually played The Rock theme song for Dwayne Johnson's introduction.

[Browncoat]

Despite his outfit, I like The Rock.

[Misslindsey]

LIN!!! That is all. 

[ebk57]

Lin!!!  

[Macbeth]

The OJ documentary was the best thing I saw last year.  OMG Lin!!

ESPN needs to re-run that OJ doc. I've already seen 13th.

Lin!!!  

Think he'll complete the EGOT tonight?

[Neeners]

She's lovely.

[Ohwell]

That's a beautiful woman in the red dress singing.

[bmoore4026]

Is it weird thinking a 16 year old girl is gorgeous?

You just missed it. They replayed all of it last week. It should be online though. 

[MVFrostsMyPie]

The sun on stage looks like they borrowed the Olympic torch from Brazil.

I just didn't get it. But I think he's doing great overall. But I always find him funny.

I'm hoping!

[Browncoat]

The staging for this song is lovely.  As is the song (and the singer!).

Or it was until they smacked her in the head.

She looks older than Mel's wife/girlfriend.

No. I am sure City of Stars will win. I wish though.

OJ Made in America! I saw that! WOOT!  (I actually watched it twice because it was so riveting.) 

 

Just now, bmoore4026 said:

It aired on the Viceland Network last weekend. I missed the first couple episodes but watched the rest of them. I think it makes up 9 episodes in total. Just saw that it's on Hulu too. I'll catch the parts I missed before my free trial runs out I think.

Who is singing in the red dress?  #ignorant

16 years old, millions watching her - good grief! Her poise is amazing!

I didn't get it either.

I've been pretty impressed with him so far. But I like him in general.

It's on the (free) ESPN app and also Hulu.  Some channel called Viceland showed it last week too so I don't know if they will again.

[jjj]

They hit her in the head with those banners!

[Thumper]

Who is the singer in the red dress?  She was great!

Especially after getting whacked in the head by one of those sails, and didn't miss a beat.

I've been enjoying him for the most part, too--just not that joke.  Eh.  I suppose all the good jokes were told 20 years ago.

Auli'i Cravalho. She is the girl who voiced Moana.

I'll check my on demand. Thanks.

[Mumbles]

Just to pipe in about OJ:Made in America - it is great because it is not just about OJ, it is a look at race through that prism. 

Even Mel grimaced at the OJ joke and that says something.

[AimingforYoko]

Wonder how much Wal-Mart spent on this project. You know, instead of actually paying their employees.

[Vermicious Knid]

HuffPo pointed out he would actually be a MacPEGOT because he's also a recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship and the Pulizer.

[vb68]

That song and staging was beautiful.  i'm really enjoying the ceremony overall even if it is moving at a slow pace. That's to be expected.

She's three weeks older than one of my sons. He's feeling inadequate about his life's achievements right about now. Lol.

[Sugar]

I *just* finished watching Moana before the Oscars, and the songs are outstanding - I haven't seen Lala Land, but I really hope Lin and co. win for their soundtrack.
