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.

It makes sense.  I'm sure they were staggered for ratings to keep people watching who only want to see big awards but it seems more fair to put them back to back.

And the winner is...not surprising!  Yay Ke Huy Quan! I know Barry Keoghan got some late momentum but figured this is how it would go.

Damn, it's suddenly dusty in my house.  Or someone's chopping onions or something.

[wallflower75]

Who the hell is cutting onions in here?!?!

[ShadowHunter]

The reaction for Ke Huy Quan made me tear up a little bit. I'm very happy for him.

[scarynikki12]

He has made so many friends this award circuit and I hope he's back over and over.

[mojoween]

I didn’t see but two movies last year so have no reference for much of this, but Ariana’s reaction to Ke winning brought tears to *my* eyes.  So happy for him.

I know, here too. So happy he won. I’m the same age as Ke so I remember him from my childhood.

[AimingforYoko]

By the time folks get here, they're mostly a little jaded. It's always nice to hear from people who really appreciate it.

[mariah23]

Where’s Harrison?  I need to see a reunion!!

Aww, he’s best buds with Chunk!

[thuganomics85]

Ke is already making himself a contender for the best speech of the night.  Crowd clearly adores him as well.

[Macbeth1966]

Congrats Short Round!!!

Oh My...I am in tears too,  Truly the "American Dream"

[DollEyes]

A beautiful speech from a beautiful man who gave a beautiful performance in a beautiful film.

[mojoween]

Love the Oscar girl trying to wrangle Ke off the stage.  I would be here for him just joyously staying on stage all night.

Sigh.  I love Angela Bassett more than is healthy.

[dmeets]

So torn in this category between Jamie Lee Curtis and Angela Bassett, but I’m leaning towards Angela so that Marvel finally gets a major award.

[yowsah1]

If the cheers for Jamie are any indication, she's got this one in the bag.

[MerBearHou]

Nice to see Christopher Guest there by Jamie Lee’s side.

[scarynikki12]

Awww Jamie Lee! 

[yowsah1]

Could we be looking at an EEAAO sweep?

[Browncoat]

Alright, Jamie Lee!  I am beyond thrilled!

[Thumper]

We bought Youtube Tv just so I could watch this show and now it tells me I have to go to something called Live Chat to view it????

Anyone???  Argh!!! 😡

I will read your commentary….

[ShadowHunter]

Congratulations JLC. I love her. Angela didn't look happy.

[AimingforYoko]

I'm actually partial towards Stephanie Hsu's performance, but I'm not offended by JLC's win.

[Macbeth1966]

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Jamie Lee gets her due!!!!!!

[KaveDweller]

Good for Jamie Lee Curtis, but Angela looked disappointed. I thought all the women in this category deserved it.

[wallflower75]

Got to admit--I really thought Stephanie Hsu gave the better performance, but good for Jamie Lee Curtis!

[thuganomics85]

Supporting Actress time.  Curious to see how this plays out.

And it's Jamie Lee Curtis.  Little more mixed here.  She was good, but I was more impressed by Stephanie in that film.  Think this is bit of a career Oscar for her, I think.

Definitely wonder if Angela was hurt by an anti-Marvel/Disney bias.  I thought she was spectacular, but I know that some voters just hate that franchise/studio.

[kittykat]

Hooray for Jamie Lee!  I'm a little torn that it wasn't Angela but JLC had the late momentum. This was a very tough category.

[mojoween]

Hope Jamie’s “shut UP” becomes a meme.

[Browncoat]

Great speech by Jamie Lee, too.  I also love Christopher Guest.

[scarynikki12]

Mr. Jamie Lee, Christopher Guest, is so proud of her.

[yowsah1]

Carla DeLevigne sporting the Angelina Jolie leg.

[scarynikki12]

I only like the big bow/flower on a dress when it's on the side so I like Cara's dress. Great color too.

I am watching with youtube tv on my local abc channel.  You can try going to the live menu and finding your local affiliate. 

[wallflower75]

"Honorary Oscar winner" Diane Warren?  Did they finally give her one out of pity?

I wish I had watched For Your Consideration before this.  Not my favorite of the Guest mockus but still a hilarious on point satire of award culture.

[cincivic]

I lost a bit of respect for Angela Bassett. She could have faked a smile. She could have politely clapped.

[slowpoked]

Wow!! EEAAO is cleaning up early! JLC is my 3rd pick, after Kerry and Angela, but obvi she’s the sentimental pick here. Congrats to JLC!

They were in my house, too. I knew he was a lock, but I wanted him to win so badly, so I was so nervous. It was so moving to see the love in the room and to see his reaction.

Did they know each other before, or is that what happened - he made so many friends on the circuit? I wondered when he and Austin Butler had a long hug when he won the SAG award. DeBose's reaction was so emotional - and great!

I didn’t see how she reacted — was she just stone-faced?

[mariah23]

Somewhere Janet Leigh is smiling.

 

 I guess Tony Curtis is too but Janet stayed.

Especially when we saw how happy Stephanie Hsu looked for her costar, while not winning it herself.

Kerry's performance was my favorite in Banshees, and I thought maybe she had a chance, but when Jamie Lee won the SAG, I had a feeling that was going to wrap it up for her.

I’m watching on YouTube tv with no problem. It’s under “live” at the top - far right option after “library“ and “home”. Maybe you have to set up your local stations? It’s on abc.

I have a feeling Ms Warren's streak will continue.

Yeah she is going to end up on those videos of people who were upset they didn't win lol.
