FoundTime April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 That was very oddly timed; a lot of folks I didn't have time to read the name and what they did, while others seemed to linger longer. I'll forgive it, though, for any excuse to hear "Space Oddity," even if it is an AirBnB ad. 1 Link to comment

mtlchick April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 If they are presenting Best Picture now, that means Best Actor has to be last. You know they want to honour Chadwick in some way and you know his wife will give a speech that will destroy us all. 2 2 Link to comment

absnow54 April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 Maybe they’re still trying to figure out who Best Actress will go to. 12 Link to comment
scarynikki12 April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 I think this means Chadwick is for sure winning and the tribute is how they want to end. 2 Link to comment
Dr.OO7 April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 Since when is Best Picture not the last award? Huh? Or did I miss them presenting Best Actor & Actress? 1 Link to comment
Slade347 April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 Are they really doing Best Picture before the lead Actor awards? 1 Link to comment
gatopretoNYC April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 That In Memorium felt VERY rushed, and the song was too uptempo imo. Also, Linda Manz died? 😢 5 Link to comment

Maybe they gave those out with the technical awards that they always host in the basement. Well, up until now, I was the only person not complaining about the ceremony, but now you can count me in.

wallflower75 April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 Not that it's going to happen--let's be real here--but if anyone other than Chadwick Boseman wins Best Actor, this is going to blow up spectacularly in their faces. (But let's be real--it's obvious they want the tribute to Boseman to end the show.) 5 Link to comment
thuganomics85 April 26, 2021 Author Share April 26, 2021 And it's Nomadland. And since Francis is a producer, hopefully we'll get one classic Francis speech! 6 Link to comment
Avabelle April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 I thought best picture was the big one? I appreciate Chadwick has passed but don't know what I agree with changing the show to honour him? Or maybe I do.. I don't know it's late and this show has been awful anyway. 3 Link to comment
truthaboutluv April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 1 minute ago, Artsda said: Best picture not last, what is this madness. My guess is because there's no suspense about it versus Best Actress which is a shit show and Best Actor is locked but I imagine they want to give Chadwick's widow the full time to speak. 2 Link to comment

superdeluxe April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 Best Picture is not important this time around. Actor and Actress are the more interesting categories. You have Actor who is down to Chadwick Boseman or Anthony Hopkins and then you have Actress which is a toss up. 2 Link to comment

scarynikki12 April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 Interesting that Renee is giving Actress and Joaquin giving Actor. It’s usually the other way. Of course we’ve already had Picture so why not. And that’s three for Frances. 3 Link to comment

mtlchick April 26, 2021 Share April 26, 2021 Fran, while I appreciate your call to watch movies in a theater, studios have other ideas now, including me getting to watch your movie on Star (non USA equivalent of Hulu) via Disney + in Canada. Dang, she manages to beat out Viola Davis? The Academy must love her wolf calls. 1 Link to comment
