Are we still pretending that movie theaters would be closed by now if it weren’t for Maverick?

It’s like Jimmy heard you!

[wallflower75]

Please let that "our halftime will be in four and a half hours" line be a joke...

[thuganomics85]

Heh, Jimmy will probably never forget getting a front row seat to the La La Land/Moonlight mix-up.  It was even his first time too!

[scarynikki12]

Austin is sitting next to Angela and if he has any intelligence at all he will use this opportunity to try and be her new BFF.

[wallflower75]

If Elvis wins any Oscars, will this be the first time that a movie has won an Oscar and a Razzie?

[thuganomics85]

Joke now, Jimmy, but you'll be sorry when all the Best Actor nominees take you at your word and start brawling.  Would make for an interesting fight, but I'd probably put money on Colin.

[scarynikki12]

He's joking but everyone sitting and doing nothing in the event of violence is what should happen if they really have a crisis team.

An Irish fighter? Who'd believe such a thing?

He is Irish and Jimmy reminded us the odds of fight went up dramatically.

[Browncoat]

Excellent -- dancing Jimmy off the stage.

[thuganomics85]

Hell yeah, getting played off by RRR dancers would be awesome!

[scarynikki12]

I like the peach on Dwayne. It suits him.

[dmeets]

Ok I kinda hope they do dance long-winded speeches off the stage.

Isn’t that Mescal guy also Irish?

[MerBearHou]

Love that Jimmy went there about the slap and Will Smith.

16 minutes in and we’re just getting started really.

Tom and Nicole can avoid an awkward encounter if he’s not there.

Tom and Nicole have been divorced for longer than they were married at this point. They've attended many award shows since them.

I'm definitely rooting for EEAAO too.  I'm still torn about Banshees--there were parts I liked, and parts where I was like, "Oh for God's sake."

The bolded is how I felt about Everything Everywhere. Sure the cutting the fingers off was weird and made me question what kind of things go on in Martin McDanagh's head but there were plenty of things in Everything Everywhere that felt try hard to me. Trying too hard to be cute, clever and offbeat - I mean the sausage fingers, dildo awards, etc.?

Dwayne and Emily in a comedy stat!

[mojoween]

Found the guy who can make a peach satin jacket WORK.

[thuganomics85]

Emily's doing the nice, proper British version of "It doest matter what you think!" due to Artist Formerly Known as The Rock!

[DollEyes]

Being danced off by "RRR" dancers would be hilarious!

Jungle Cruise didn’t do it for you? ;-)

Doesn’t Jungle Cruise count?

[Browncoat]

I loved Marcel the Shell.

[scarynikki12]

Best Animation is a stacked category this year.

Del Toro for the win!

[Browncoat]

No surprise there.

Something I'm willing to see.

[AimingforYoko]

Guillermo Del Toro's second Oscar.

[ShadowHunter]

Del Toro was already standing up when they cut to him lol. Good thing he won. That was a fast cut lol.

[thuganomics85]

Pinocchio takes the first award!  Pretty tough category (heard great things about Marcel, Turning Red, and even Puss in Boots), but never bet against Del Toro! 

[ebk57]

I believe my TV feed is about 30 second behind all of you.  Which is weirding me out.

Good thing I have wine.

[Eureka]

I think it’s the first year in a long time that I didn’t see any of the animated movies.

[DollEyes]

YAY, GUILLERMO!!📣😂

[kittykat]

It's quite a feat when the animated doesn't go to Disney/Pixar.  Congratulations Guillermo Del Toro.

[dmeets]

First advertisement is a Verizon commercial celebrating all of the streaming channel offerings. Bit awkward a few minutes after Kimmel’s “yay we’re back in theaters as it should be!”

[Browncoat]

I love this Disney commercial.

[Spartan Girl]

Pinocchio was good but justice for Turning Red!

[AimingforYoko]

Disney's 100th was one of its toughest.

They could celebrate it by giving us the Disney stuff on Disney Plus they’ve been holding out on. Just saying…

[BuckeyeLou]

Loved the Volvo ad with the stunt people

[dmeets]

Avatar sure looks a lot less impressive on the small screen based on that clip

[thuganomics85]

Cant deny the Avatar films are great looking at least.

[scarynikki12]

I like the purple suit Troy!

[ProudMary]

Del Toro: ".Animation is cinema. Animation is not a genre." 

Bravo!

[dmeets]

Feels like the first time in a while they’ve done Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress back to back in the beginning of the show.

edit: awww, she teared up saying his name.

[Browncoat]

Hooray for Short Round!

[AimingforYoko]

Ke Huy Quan! Goonies never die! One of my favorite comeback stories ever.

[scarynikki12]

Ke Huy Quan!!! And the whole room jumps to their feet!

[wallflower75]

Yessss!!!!

[DollEyes]

YAAAAAAAAYYYY KE HUY QUAN!!!!!!!

[thuganomics85]

Getting the obvious acting category out of the way?

Yup, Ke Huy Quan does it!  Short Round's an Academy Award winner now!  Love it!

Did think both of the Banshee actors did great work as well.
