Yay Encanto!!!!!

A classmate of mine from elementary school through high school is a re-recording mixer and worked on Encanto, as well as many other Disney films. I'm not sure if the film was nominated for anything sound-related, but it's always exciting for me to see his name associated with a film.

He’d be called out for being an inappropriate creep though.

Yes, and rightly so. Totally wouldn't fly now.

[Browncoat]

Wanda's turn.  And she changed outfits, too.

[wallflower75]

It'd be nice if the band wouldn't drown out Wanda while she's trying to introduce them.

[dmeets]

Sorry costume and makeup teams, we needed a 5-minute ad for the new museum

”Oh hey, Harvey Weinstein” was funny though

Remember this when another winner gets their speech cut off.

[ichbin]

Okay, the Harvey Weinstein joke was good.

That was the only good part.  Otherwise, a waste of time.

[DollEyes]

The Harvey Weinstein joke was not only funny, I'd say he's never looked better. 

[scarynikki12]

Aww Troy! He's going to make me cry.

[Browncoat]

Did she sign his name?  That's awesome!

[dmeets]

Ok the hand waving got to me

[ichbin]

Well deserved!

 

[Lady Calypso]

This speech is gonna make be cry, I just know it.

[wallflower75]

Not gonna lie, I'm tearing up at everyone waving hands.

[Constant Viewer]

I love that they did the silent handclap!

[AimingforYoko]

There's a lot of nonsense on these award shows. And then there's moments like this.

[DrSparkles]

Incredible!

[mojoween]

Onion-chopping ninjas just flew through my living room.  

[DollEyes]

Congrats, Troy Kotsur! Richly deserved! 🙌

[LennieBriscoe]

Best Oscar moment ever! The waving hands!

😀😭👍👏👏👏

[Sweet Tee]

Yes, the silent handclap they all did was very cool.

[Browncoat]

Hard to speak with your hands full of Oscar.  

This is great.  I haven't seen CODA yet.

[Demian]

Any Best Movie Moments list that does not include Ellen Ripley saying, "Get away from her, you bitch!" is a Best Movie Moments list that is full of crap.

[SoMuchTV]

Hey, I just realized they can’t play the deaf guy off!

[kittykat]

Dammit aaaaaand I'm back.  I haven't watched CODA yet but heard wonderful things.  

[DrSparkles]

The presenter is mesmerized! 

[Browncoat]

I guess her handing the Oscar back to him was the equivalent of playing him off stage.

[ShadowHunter]

Beautiful moment. Congratulations Troy Kotsur. Sweet speech but also very sad. I didn't know that about his Dad. 

[Artsda]

That was amazing.

[wallflower75]

Excuse me, I'll be back.  Just grabbing some Kleenex.

[dmeets]

Coming up: everyone’s third favorite Jonas brother!

I only watched it today.  It was great!

[vb68]

There must be something in my eye. That was just lovely.

[yowsah1]

Troy Kotsur is what the Oscars are supposed to be.

Also, I love you, Chris Evans, but shilling your movie during the Oscars?  NOT. COOL.

You know it wasn’t his idea.

[Artsda]

They go from a high to a low of using Captain America for ratings. 

[LisaM]

The rest of this show hasn't been good but that whole moment was amazing.

That was totally awkward!

[dmeets]

Uh oh watch out Regina, Tiffany’s stealing yo man

[scarynikki12]

Simu and Tiffany should do a rom com together.

[susannah]

It is shameful that Troy is only the second deaf person in history to win an Oscar, the first being Marlee Matlin. I am glad he won and I hope CODA wins. I loved that the audience applauded correctly.

[Lady Whistleup]

That moment was wonderful, but friendly reminder that it was actually Louise Fletcher who first signed her acceptance speech for her deaf parents:

Yep, the deaf can't hear clapping applause, so they visually applaud!

[dmeets]

In the band’s defense he did sound like he was done at first

[wallflower75]

I'm sure Drive My Car is a wonderful movie, but a little part of me is disappointed that Flee didn't win.

[CherryMalotte]

No I'm not crying...I just needed to find the kleenex box.

Troy seems like such a wonderful guy.  Now that's an Oscar winner, and lovely that the audience signed applause.

This reminds me:

Quote

Beethoven had steadily lost his hearing during the course of the symphony’s composition, and by the time of its premiere he was profoundly deaf. Although he appeared onstage as the general director of the performance, kapellmeister Michael Umlauf actually led the orchestra with the conductor’s baton, taking tempo cues from Beethoven. According to one account of the event, the audience applauded thunderously at the conclusion of the performance, but Beethoven, unable to hear the response, continued to face the chorus and orchestra; a singer finally turned him around so that he could see evidence of the affirmation that resounded throughout the hall.

 

[scarynikki12]

Reba looks lovely and I hope that voice never leaves her.
