Crs97 February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 It may run over, but this is the first time it doesn't feel like it's running long. Sad for Glenn. I haven't seen anything Olivia has been in (waiting patiently for The Queen), but she has been adorable in every talk show I've seen her in. Very sweet of her to acknowledge Glenn like she did. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/33299-the-annual-academy-awards-general-discussion/page/159/#findComment-5081045

She is friggin brilliant in that film (hilarious, tragic, bitter). I was pulling for her to win the Oscar, but had begun to lose hope since Glenn seemed to be gathering steam. Such a pleasant surprise - and glad to see The Favourite take home an award. Olivia’s speech was the highlight of the evening for me (along with Spike). 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/33299-the-annual-academy-awards-general-discussion/page/159/#findComment-5081048

I was very surprised when the nominations came out--either all three were co-leads, or Colman was supporting while Stone and Weisz were leads. I was really surprised too, it seems backwards. I actually hated the Favourite, but the acting was all very good.
