They play off everyone except the person who deserve it more than anyone. He never should be invited back. 

He won't.

Mel Gibson still getting work should tell you all you need to know about Hollywood and its ability to sweep things under the rug.

Amy: did I miss anything?  :)

They were probably afraid of being punched.

[dmeets]

And the asshole’s cracking up wildly at the joke about said asshole changing the vibe.

oh hey, Sir Anthony! Nice to see you this time.

oh praising the asshole? Never mind sit back down somewhere.

on a shallow note: happy to see jane campion win if for no other reason than we got chance to see the gorgeous back of her dress, which from the front looked like a shroud.

And it has pockets!

[Constant Viewer]

I love Sir Anthony Hopkins.

[Bruinsfan]

LOL at Will having to clap at Anthony Hopkins making fun of him!

[wallflower75]

LOL Sir Anthony!!

[Browncoat]

Tony needs to step it up a little, too.  Though I cut him some slack because he's 150 years old.

[absnow54]

Hopkins bravely cracks a joke about Will Smith and does not get punched!

[Anela]

I'm not watching the speech, I was just waiting to see if he apologized to Chris. It should have been a "thank you, I'm sorry" temporary insanity.

I think he might actually be giddy about stealing the show. 

[debbie311]

Disappointed that Anthony Hopkins complimented Will Smith, who was smiling and clapping in the audience.  Wow.

Hitting a senior citizen would be super bad press!

Good thing Amy chose Kirsten Dunst for the seat filler bit instead of Jada. At least Jesse Plemmons & Kirsten Dunst can take a joke. 

[WendyCR72]

I dare Will Smith to even ATTEMPT punching the great Anthony Hopkins. Suck it up, Willie...

[Slade347]

Anthony Hopkins' performance in The Father was one of the most brilliant and heartbreaking I've ever seen. 

[mojoween]

Oscar producers: The show will definitely end at 11!

Narrator:  The show did not end at 11.

[Browncoat]

I liked Parallel Mothers a lot more than I expected to.  Definitely worth a watch.

[dmeets]

Hmm nothing about that clip evoked Lucille Ball.

She's really great tonight.

Isn't Will supposed to be doing press after you win? He went back to sit?

Like everyone else, Will has seen Silence of the Lambs!

Oscar producers: We need to cut more categories out. Not the filler, people like the filler!

[Marley]

I hate Hollywood. I’m only watching this because I’m drunk. I haven’t seen any of these movies. Will Smith needs fucking help but he will just go around crying with his bitch wife and get more millions and awards. This whole group should be embarrassed lol. 

With Will getting away with this it’s setting a precedent for these fucking prima Donna actors getting away with whatever they want at these shows.

Yes, he didn't want to end up being served with fava beans and a nice Chianti...

Sometimes they wait to do press so they can watch an upcoming category for their movie. Best Picture is next and King Richard is nominated.

But he also may be skipping press for obvious reasons.

[shoregirl]

Jessica Chastain was really good in The Eyes of Tammy Faye. I didn't love the movie but she was very good in it.

He doesn't want to answer questions about punching Chris Rock.

Brought to us by the same guys who have a heart attack every time a female led film crushes the box office. Whuh-huhhhh

I'm guessing his publicist told him not to talk to the press. And he wisely listened.   Nothing good could come from him talking to reporters right now.

Neither does the movie, largely because they're both too old to play Lucy and Desi at that stage in their lives. Javier B was very good and Nicole was very good but it was very disconcerting that her face doesn't move.  David Alvarez would have made a great Desi if they had cast according to the ages they actually were.

[Lady Whistleup]

Ok adore Jessica Chastain but I hate it when Oscar acceptance speeches become TED talks.

Definitely not the best movie.  It sugarcoated a lot.  But I totally agree that Jessica was really good in it.

I don't know if I'm more disappointed in Will Smith or in every. Single. Fucking. Person. Who cheered and clapped for him. Watch that this actually hurts Chris Rock's career instead of Will's. These Hollywood hypocrites.

Thank you.  More disgusted by the elite.  He should have been booed.  Not classy at all.  Never really been a fan of Rock but hope he files charges. 

[dmeets]

LIZA!

[ebk57]

Liza!  In person!!

[Avabelle]

Ok so given they’ve practically rewarded Will Smith for assault shouldnt Chris Rock sue? Surely the academy owes safety to their presenters?!

I cannot believe Hollywood are acting like this moron is some sort of hero.. oh wait I can. Ugh.

[Lady Whistleup]

Aww I love Liza Minnelli. What a survivor.

[Lisapooh]

Man, I hope Liza doesn’t make any Will Smith jokes. 

[wallflower75]

Liza!! ❤️

[Quickbeam]

Gaga has an uncanny kindness with the old. It feels genuine. 

[Thumper]

So were Anthony Hopkins’s comments meant to be a joke or sincere?  I only half listened once I heard Will’s name.

[LisaM]

Huge admiration for Lady Gaga repeatedly telling Liza "I got you". 

[yowsah1]

I hate when they have elderly performers who are in no shape to give out an award present an award.  It's degrading.

[scarynikki12]

I'm glad Liza and Gaga are having fun.

CODA for the win!

[Mediocre Gatsby]

CODA!!!!!

[twoods]

Wow! Congrats to Coda!

[Browncoat]

Well, now I'll have to watch CODA!
