I thought the same thing, but I don't remember the characters name (or the name they announced) to check.

I think her name is Rachel in real life and wasn’t her character Lily or something like that? Toby’s baby mama.

How nervous are the producers for giving Dave Chappelle an open mic?

Dave can be edgy, but I don't think he's suicidal.

[AimingforYoko]

As I said in the movie's thread, Marshall had the notable achievement of Josh Gad not annoying me.

[Misslindsey]

Quote

I think the woman who just won for The Silent Child was on Switched at Birth.

You are correct. Her name is Rachel Shenton.

[GoldenGirl90]

Common is fine af and Andra Day is beyond talented.

[ebk57]

This is beautiful - love Common and Andra!!

I need a link to the Overlook Hotel commercial. I went to get some dinner, was gone only a few minutes, and I missed it! Tag-nabbit! I've looked, but haven't found anything on-line, yet.

For some reason, there's a page that's cached (I hope this works for you, it has a clip) http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:y8fLjCYzf0IJ:www.adweek.com/creativity/heres-why-the-overlook-hotel-from-the-shining-got-an-ad-on-the-oscars/+&cd=17&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Who are these people in the background?

Andra's hair is really terrible.

Ha-Ha. Although I rather liked him in the Wedding movie with Kevin Hart. The name escapes me.

I just rewound it to "I feel like I'm in a department store!"

As someone who has felt that more than once in my life, it confirms that Haddish is my spirit animal...person...whatever I want to find Groupon deals with her and get drunk during them.

Me too, I have a little crush. 

[wallflower75]

Is Eddie Vedder doing the In Memoriam this year?

[TV Mercenary]

Chadwick Boseman is over 40 and that angers me in a way that I feel like the world is somehow unfair because I thought that guy was maybe mid twenties at best but no he's going to end up older than me and looking younger than me. Wakanda must have some kind of Fountain of Youth or something.

[mightysparrow]

Maybe they could have told us who those people standing on stage were if they hadn't spent so much time on the hotdog gun.

[rollacoaster]

@topanga It was called The Wedding Ringer.

Me three. I think he’s dating my girl Angela Rye though. Idk though. Just rumors lol

There's a fine line on how deeply you want to be a participant in the segment...

This flew past me, I didn’t get it because I was texting, probably.  Can you explain please?  Thx

[Browncoat]

Okay, that ad with JD and the janitor was funny.

[anniebird]

Salma Hayek looks like she escaped from a Bollywood soundstage.

[scarynikki12]

Ashley, Annabella and Salma are making me teary just by standing there. 

[sally-can-wait]

Annabella Sciorra seems medicated.

[Amethyst]

Is Annabella ok?  She seems so shaky.

Yes, that was her! Rachel Shenten. And Wikipedia already was updated to say she won. 

[Browncoat]

Has Mira Sorvino had work done?  I almost didn't recognize her.

[Vermicious Knid]

Salma's dress looks a lot like the Minoan snake goddess.

Whoa, hold up. The man is OVER FORTY? WTF? SOMEONE GIVE ME HIS SECRET, PLEASE.

I think this is her first public moment since she came forward with her story.  It's a powerful moment and Salma was REALLY trying not to swear.

This.  I kept looking at the name ID and thinking that can't be Mira... 

[Jaded]

Annabella Sciorra is 57?!? 

[GoldenGirl90]

Sarah Silverman hayyyy boo! ??

also, yassss, the status quo doesn’t have to be the status quo anymore. Get ready for some more “Get Out” /s and “Black Panther” /s... We’re here and we’re not going anywhere.” ??✊?

One of the 10 activists I spotted was Chef Jose Andres, who has been serving hundreds of thousands of meals to those still suffering in Puerto Rico.  He unfurled the Puerto Rican flag at the end of the song.

I don't know what she had done but she looks really good.

Tiff made a awesome joke about how watching the white people moving around backstage at the Oscars wearing headsets remind her being in a department store because they're always talking to some person she can't see but she has a sneaky suspicion that they're probably discussing her.

It was cute seeing Mark and Gal shake hands and meet. That was a Luke/Wonder Woman moment.

And also a Wonder Woman/Joker moment! (Hamill is that awesome and psychotic Joker in the animated universe!

She does.  She just doesn't look like I remember Mira looking.

[Darian]

I saw Janet Mock, Dolores Huerta, Jose Andres, I think Tarana Burke, but I wasn't looking at the screen the whole time (got interrupted). Going to watch again later.

Yes, he is def one of my favorite Jokers. 

[kib]

You know, I think the producers just decided to go all in on this being everything that will make a certain number of people in our nation nuts.  Mind-numbly long, gloriously inclusive and spectacular in eye-candy execution.  It's like they simply said there are folks that are going to hate it, but screw 'em.  I admire the commitment.

[SnoGirl]

Gah. I dont know what it is tonight, Wonder Woman is triggering the tears like crazy. It did again during the Times Up Moment.

Straight up with you I could not believe it and I thought someone was pulling my leg until I Googled him and he is over 40 and I am still shook.

[scarynikki12]

It would have been hilarious if Logan had won. But Call Me By Your Name was a guarantee. 

[Misslindsey]

I am so glad Call me by Your Name got something.

[thuganomics85]

Oh, shit!  Whatever you do, T'Challa, do not let Harley Quinn know where Wakanda is!

Call Me By Your Name gets its Oscar.  Expected and I'm sure deserved.  Still glad Logan actually got a nomination.

[Browncoat]

Yay, Call Me By Your Name!  It was a beautiful movie.

[wallflower75]

Holy cow...this is his first win???

[jjj]

I cannot believe that James Ivory has never previously won an Academy Award.  GIVE HIM TIME TO TALK, OVERLORDS!  

[mtlchick]

Good Lord, Timothee DOES look like he needs to be watching Paw Patrol instead of doing stuff with a peach.
