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
AnswersWanted February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 (edited) Wow, what a shock...at least it was a nice movie. Maybe Spike can go hang out with Glenn and Barbara later. Edited February 25, 2019 by AnswersWanted Link to comment

sweetcookieface February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 Just now, MVFrostsMyPie said: Olivia's speech was so amusing to me that I might actually bother watching The Favourite. 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

I would blame that on ads and some long speeches. It got rid of a lot of hosting bloat and annoying segments. I say all things considered, this is running better than I was expecting. 8 Link to comment

mojoween February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 The show is running long because of speeches and presentations of nominated movies which is a win, I think. Campaign for no host ever again starts now! 15 Link to comment
KaveDweller February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 3 minutes ago, Camille said: I thought so too. 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. And it is nice when there's a surprise win. 1 Link to comment

Lillith February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 Olivia Coleman's win is proof that playing in a biopic, particularly as a monarch will get you that Oscar. 2 Link to comment

Growsonwalls February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 Hmm I loved Colman but I thought the movie belonged to Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz. Both elevated the material from soapy costume drama to a real battle royale between two different types of female power players. 4 Link to comment

No ridiculous stunts by the host, minimal montages...if we could cut down on the number of ads, we would've been done on time. 12 Link to comment

Calvada February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 Glenn Close can take comfort in the fact that she has very good company in the Never Won an Oscar Club. Lauren Bacall, Myrna Loy, Peter O'Toole. Richard Burton, to name just a few. 14 Link to comment

That’s what so many of the bits and montages tend to do but a smoothly running long show is fine. 4 Link to comment

And no, there is no guarantee that she will ever win. I feel so bad for her too. I know she has a long career of fine work, but I really loved her during Damages. And everything seemed set up for her win - didn’t she win every single precursor award before the Oscars?! And I thought it would have been a nice Oscar moment for Frances to hand off the award to Glenn. 4 Link to comment
