Apparently he was quite jack up about receiving the award.  Too bad they could honor him live in tonight's broadcast.

Agreed!

I lurve Donald Sutherland.

It's absolutely shocking and ridiculous that he was NEVER nominated!

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I want a movie with Chris Pine, Kumail, and Lupita all together.

Actually also a movie with Chris Pine, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth would be great too. "Which Chris are you?"

Lupita is GOALS every damn day.  And then she needs to sign up and do a movie with Viola Davis.  A movie that probably wouldn't have been thought about 3 years ago.  

She is going to do a movie with Viola.

[SnoGirl]

Random thought, I really love the silver gem-stone like frame on the stage and that they keep changing its colors.

[sally-can-wait]

This is a beautiful song. Made me cry when I saw Coco.

[Browncoat]

It's getting dusty in here....

[Neeners]

Oh dear...

[scarynikki12]

I love Gael but he’s sounding flat. Is he getting over a cold?

ITA - it's why I spend so much time watching Turner Classics and so little time going to the theater to see a movie now.  

I love that channel it's like a gold mine of amazingness and sometimes I see a film that I didn't even know existed and then I feel ashamed that I didn't know that it existed but I'm also glad that now I know that it exists so that I can now pay the proper homage that it deserves but I also hate sorta watching now because I loved the awesome movie traitor announcer guy that passed away a little while ago and I just loved him so I really miss that guy. I also think that they make the best in honor of montages for Lost Stars in Hollywood their set up scenes chosen and the music that they choose always leaves me bawling like a two-year-old having a tantrum at Whole Foods.

Don’t forget Chris Pratt!

Who was singing the beginning of "Remember Me"?  With the guitar?  Not a singer, right?

[Quickbeam]

Husband just chimed up: “where’s the bee?”.

I thought the same thing--a bit flat.  But I haven't seen the movie or heard the song, so I didn't know if it that was how it was supposed to sound.

You can add Chris Pratt shooting animals in the background,

I think his most egregious snub was Calvin Jarrett in Ordinary People.

Me too. I want Remember Me to win. I do have a lot of love for Benj Pasek and Justin Paul who were nominated for The Greatest Showman, mainly because I have seen Dear Evan Hansen too many times, but I want Coco to win.

Darkest Hour and The Post are the only 2 Best Picture films I have not seen yet. Was anyone able to see all of them?

Saw them all at AMC's Best Picture Showcase. My faves are The Shape of Water, Dunkirk, The Post, and Get Out.

I'd be down for an Expendables type movie with the Chrises.  Toss in a few of the older ones to slum it up as well, like Chris Cooper and Chris Rock.  Chris Martin can do the soundtrack.

Normally, I'd say Coco had song in the bag, but I will not underestimate The Greatest Showman.

[Calvada]

And everyone now takes the commercial break to carefully pull confetti out of all the intricate hairdos, cleavages, and so on.

Ah yes of course! It'll be a Chris-'plosion of epic proportions. With Kumail as the lead.

All but Chris Pine will be in Avengers Infinity War

All those, and "Don't Look Back," which was amazing and haunting. (Literally)

Well, at least he got to bump uglies with Wonder Woman.

I'm very disappointed that Donald Sutherland wasn't honoured tonight, the way he should be.  I agree with the person who said he's a Canadian treasure.  He has one of the best voices in the business.  But an actor like Sutherland probably didn't mind that he wasn't on the big show.  He's always been about the work.

Well, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt will be in Infinity War next month.  Chris Pine spoiled the quartet happening by starring in a DC movie instead of MCU!

Chris Sarandon can play the villain.

I do hope that confetti is biodegradable!

Does Kimmel have a chip on his head?!!

AND now a trip with a stay at Days Inn.  COME ON PEOPLE, you want to win that sweet Kawasaki!

A jet ski and Lake Havasu. And just in time for spring break.

I think Donld will be the only one that can keep Kief inline onset like he's such a sweet Canadian and everything but I could totally see him going full-on daddy will slap you down if he ever got out of line which he sometimes has in the past. 

Does anyone else remember this military film with Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen who plays a really racist and evil General guy who's in charge of Charlie Sheen and he's a part of this all black detail group and at one point Martin Sheen almost kills one of the guys in a drunken rage and Charlie has to save him?

'I know you do!'  One of my favourite movie lines.

Off the top of my head, I know they both were in A Time to Kill, but I don't think they shared a scene.
