Ryan Coogler not getting nominated for Best Director is criminal.

I agree. So many people were upset Bradley Cooper did not get a nomination, but I would have put Coogler and Barry Jenkins before Bradley Cooper anyway.

I don't know if it will win the big one and it wasn't my favorite Marvel film, but knowing how "certain sections of the internet" will react to every Black Panther win, this delights me very much!

It'll probably be like Fury Road a few years ago.  It'll clean up in the below the line categories but miss out on the marquee categories.

I liked Roma, but Cold War had the most gorgeous cinematography of the year. It was a stunningly beautiful movie to look at.

I can't handle the awkwardness of most of these thank you speeches. 

Honestly.  They’ve had a damn month to practice.  Get your shit together.

I get it, when you’ve holy shit actually WON it can be very overwhelming but if you’re in the movies you know what the Oscars are and what is a good and what is a bad speech.

Anytime there's multiple folks accepting the award, one person takes up the entire time thanking god, their mom, their 8 children, their agent and their dog, and then the others have like NO time to say even "thanks mom!" Share the damn stage, dingdongs.

This. So much of this.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate tonight's early award acceptance speeches a -4, although that might be too generous.

And when has there ever been a successful multi-person acceptance speech? Almost invariably, the first person to speak rambles, and then it's cringe time when the music starts.

I'm really enjoying this so far.

Great winners. So proud of Black Panther, and I teared up with Regina King as she won. I feel like I'm grown up with her, watching her from 227 onward. Way to go!

I know exactly what you mean and I feel exactly the same way.  Living well (and winning a couple of Academy Awards) is the BEST revenge.

Between the boredom of watching someone read their speech from their phone, getting booted from the forum I missed the snark from Tyler Perry. What did he say?
 

Jennifer Hudson did not sound good at all. 

The ads from Whiskey Cavalier is saturating my evening. Enough already.

Had to catch up. The host and the opening bit, whether its a production number, a montage, inserting the host into all the movies etc, plus the monologue-all that takes up easily 20 minutes. We got to the firsts award at 5:09. Keep the show hostless, I say.

Maya Rudolph's dress is a crime against humanity, along with couches and drapes.
