Interesting that actor who lip synced (mostly) an impression of a real musician wins over an actor who learns to play guitar and piano, and learns to sing a (mostly) original character.  Just wasn't that impressed with the craftsianship of Rami Malek. 

If this is a BCoop reference, it's also the fourth time that particular movie has been made. I think ultimately that worked against him. However, everything about this awards season has been mind-boggling to me. I do not understand all of the love that Bohemian or Green Book have been getting. Both were perfectly okay movies but I wasn't blown away.

Unfortunately I think the movie's promotion became all about Gaga. I agree that Bradley Cooper made Jackson Maine warm and sweet which made his spiral downwards sadder. And he's a good singer.

We did get a bit of Stanley Donen in the clip with Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn, in Two For The Road.  I'll have to play it back because I didn't catch if Dick Miller was included, and honestly that's someone that should have been if he wasn't. 
 

I like the no host deal, it's clipping right along.

I went to college at USI, and had tons of friends who went to college at UoE, where he went to school! I have lots of friends in Evansville still 🙂 

Small world!
