roseha April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 I'm so happy to see Chloe Zhao win! I thought Nomadland was brilliant but wondered if the Academy would consider the subject too much of a downer. Glad to be wrong. And she seems like a lovely person as well. 6 Link to comment

I guess they changed their minds because there are clearly nominees Zooming in. And winners, like the French guy who looked like he was outside in the dark on a rooftop. The Brits made a stink, so they folded. 1 1 Link to comment

Fuck that's gonna be one long list 😞. Awards are all over the place. I'm feeling like Mank and TC7 are headed for a shut out since the awards they were thought to win have already passed. 2 Link to comment
thuganomics85 April 26, 2021 Author Share April 26, 2021 Riz Ahmed is presenting for Best Sound, so it's going to get very weird if Sound of Music doesn't actually win. 3 Link to comment

This... it feels like work.! Like it’s a bad zoom version of an awards show, too much talking too many people staring at screens. The musical performances took place earlier so I can’t even look forward to that. I stopped watching still no clips? Who is in charge of this production? I need to speak to the manager. 6 Link to comment

Marley April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 This is horrible. I don’t care about these ppl rambling on about who’s nominated. It sucks. There is capability for clips so fucking play some. Also I’m sorry MPTF might be a good thing but they couldn’t find a better charity to highlight in these crazy times. Hollywood is so tone deaf. The Oscars have never been great but holy fuck this is horrible. 4 Link to comment

CherryMalotte April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 I'm getting the feeling that the producers (hello Soderbergh) were trying to create an intimate feel, like the first Oscars that were held at the Roosevelt Hotel, instead of the usual spectacle which wasn't exactly feasible with pandemic living. I'm kinda on the fence whether I'm enjoying it or not, but I give them credit for trying. 10 Link to comment

I wouldn't mind the more "intimate" feeling except that they've cut out some of the things that I really enjoy and added things I could do without. I mean, it's always fun to see what the producers decide to use for someone's Oscar clip. Instead, we're getting, "Oh, [insert name here], you're so amazing because [blah blah]." 6 Link to comment

ProudMary April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 (edited) They really needed to show clips for the short films. Now, seeing clips of the full length animated films makes it even worse. I thought there might have been a technical reason. Edited April 26, 2021 by ProudMary 2 Link to comment
