Not disagreeing, but again, you can't just go crying your ex husband telling him that you love him when you remarried and are starting a brand new family. Just saying.

Really?  What? Wow.  

[Fostersmom]

Yay, only 2 hours left. They are hoping to end before midnight (scheduled to 11:30). 

[Browncoat]

Thanks a lot, David Letterman.

[ebk57]

I love Dave!  I miss Dave!!

[Dancingjaneway]

So thrilled for Viola Davis and Mahershala ali . Both are incredible actors.

Denzel seems a lot happier and more charming than earlier in awards season.

[bmoore4026]

I wonder what Adam Carolla is doing right now.

[Nordly Beaumont]

I LOVE The Apartment! Watch it every New Year's Eve. (Should also mention how much I love love love Shirley MacLaine!!)

Yay! David Letterman shoutout by Jimmy! We miss you Dave!

Charlize has excellent taste in movies. The Apartment is a wonderful film and Shirley is devastating and adorable at once.

Yes Viola Davis. She didn't even walk to the stage it seemed like floated.

Great speech, and I'm glad she won, but she clunked up the stage and off stage like a damn horse in those God awful shoes.

[ebk57]

And I love The Apartment!  It's a movie I can't pass by when I come across it channel surfing.

[bmoore4026]

What material is Charlize's dress made out of?

[wallflower75]

*sigh*  Look, I don't mind the montages because they aren't taking up a super amount of time.  But if this bit with the tourist bus is real, not to mention these "inspiration" clips...urgh.  I'll fall asleep before La La Land wins for Best Picture.

[Spartan Girl]

Shirley!

[MerBearHou]

This is a reallllly slow Oscars show, IMO.

[Misslindsey]

Okay, they could have definitely cut Charlize doing her version of the People's Couch.

[Browncoat]

I adore Shirley Maclaine!  She is such a hoot, and totally deserved the standing O.

He was just on Match Game.

[Dewey Decimate]

A past life joke from Shirley Maclaine? Magnificent!

YESSSSSSSSS

No.  So this is about a movie plot Viola wasn't in.  Totally confused.

[AimingforYoko]

The Salesman. This speech should be good.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I actually cheered loud enough to scare my cat.

[jjj]

Shirley Maclaine!  Wonderful to see her.

[thuganomics85]

The Salesman from Iran wins.  Time for Donald Trump to lose his shit in 3,2,....

[mojoween]

Would have been nice if Mr. Farhadi could have  accepted in person.

He's doing Match Game, and his former co-host is hosting the Oscars (and doing it well, so far).

[bmoore4026]

God, Trump can suck a whole bag of dicks for not letting the director in to this country.

Yeah. I'm kinda loving this year but it does feel like we will be here at 2:00am EST.

Sorry, I thought I was responding to someone who was talking about Michelle Williams scene with Casey Affleck in MBTS. Nothing to do with Viola! Sorry for the confusion. LOL

Yes. It was gut-wrenching -- so powerful and brought me to tears.

I had heard that about the scene.  I just couldn't justify sitting through the movie for that one scene since not a fan of Afflack.  Waiting  to stream it.

[maraleia]

So glad this movie won Best Foreign Film so she could read this statement.

[Misslindsey]

He will probably tweet that it was overrated.

I love the speech.

[jjj]

So glad the Iranian film won, and they had a chance to speak out on the ban.

[thuganomics85]

Why are they playing the "Hooked on a Feeling" for Dev Patel?  Is he going to be in Guardians of the Galaxy 2?!

[Misslindsey]

Sigh.....Dev.

[Browncoat]

Sigh.....Sting.

[bmoore4026]

............Bring back Moana!

[mtlchick]

That gut punch when someone wished they could be there but can't since immigration. 

Sting.  He can still get it.  

[ebk57]

Just now, Browncoat said:

Sigh.....Sting.

And a really nice guy.

[maraleia]

In other movie news Chicago's very own Chance the Rapper tweeted this earlier today- I bought all the tickets to #GetOut at Chatham Theatre on 87th (in Chicago) Just pull up with ID and enjoy the movie.

I think he could have, but chose to boycott.  

[stonehaven]

Every time I see a performance of a Best Song nominee, I am reminded of how angry I still am that "A Kiss At the End of the Rainbow" from Mighty Wind didn't win an Oscar.

Stewart Copeland might have a different opinion.

I love Chance the Rapper, but now I love him even more.

[DearEvette]

When she said "I will read a statement."  I channeled that great Statesman Herman Cain and said "Aww, shucky ducky!" and waited to hear her drop some truth!

Eh.  I haven't met Stewart Copeland...
