The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[KaveDweller]

Oh, they totally cut off that other woman who was going to talk too! Oops.

[ShadowHunter]

Ugh they didn't even let the other 2 woman speak for The Whale. 

[thuganomics85]

And, of course, they start playing off the winners for the smaller categories.  Just like clockwork.

[scarynikki12]

Margot looks great. Morgan somehow became old???? Is he bald for a movie??

[Browncoat]

Margot looks great.

[dmeets]

Was a long shot but I was rooting for Wakanda Forever there.

I guess no Bollywood dance-offs :(

Jonathan Majors seems like the perfect guy in the hypothetical “who would you want to have a beer with?” question.

Jonathan Majors is what some call "civil rights sexy," as in he looks like the kind of guy who'd fix your car, carry your groceries and go on a protest march with you, and you'd screw his brains out afterwards.

Harley Quinn & Lucius Fox!

[kittykat]

Cue Women (not) Talking joke.  Come on academy!

[dmeets]

A Warner Bros. 100 years segment? Surprising Disney approved that, but good for them.

What’s up with Morgan’s voice? 

[wallflower75]

Oh no...we're not getting a commercial for Warner Brothers now, are we?

[yowsah1]

Where's Yakko, Whacko, and Dot?!

[kittykat]

I'll take a montage with the same sound bites from Braveheart, Forrest Gump and Titanic that they always do over these damn ads.

They're locked up in the tower.

The real commercial should be all about the drama going on for them right now lol.

[mojoween]

Is Warner Bros. getting a commercial because they still exist (I watched a movie today from Tri-Star, heh)?

The show wouldn’t be so long if we just gave out awards.

[thuganomics85]

"Warner Brothers!  When we're not making the D.C. franchise a mess or watching as the Harry Potter franchise provides diminishing returns, we do have some good films!"

Dammit!  I wanted a dance off!

[thuganomics85]

Man, no disrespect to Jimmy, but showing a trailer for Only Murders in the Building wants me to see Steve, Martin, and even Selena host this!

[blackwing]

Is Morgan Freeman ok?  I get that everyone ages but he looked gaunt and sounded strange.

Not only are the actual commercials really long this year, it seems we also get commercials during the actual show for things like Warner Brothers.  Is Paramount going to get their turn next?

[Browncoat]

Jenny!

[thuganomics85]

Hell yeah, Jenny!  The true breakout star of 2022!!

[dmeets]

Keep the hot dog fingers away from Jenny!

[wallflower75]

It's JENNY!!!!

[scarynikki12]

Jenny is so soft I want to hug!

[anna0852]

That poor donkey is probably terrified by the noise

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Browncoat]

Julia and Paul are cracking me up.

[dmeets]

Costume category is stacked this year.

Black Panther finally gets one!

[thuganomics85]

Someone call Batman: Nygma is so stealing those outfits!

At least Wakanda Forever gets something tonight.

Edited March 13, 2023 by thuganomics85

[Browncoat]

Hooray for Wakanda Forever!  

[scarynikki12]

Ruth Carter! She did such amazing work in Black Panther.

[MerBearHou]

Mrs Harris Goes to Paris was a delightful movie.  Nice to see this nomination.

[wallflower75]

And Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is on the board!

[yowsah1]

BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER wins the only Oscar it really had a shot at winning, sad to say.

I loved "The TriStar Pegasus" especially before they started trying to update it in the early 90's.

[scarynikki12]

We're so proud of your daughter Miss Mabel.

If Harley Quinn doesn't get 'em first! 

YAY RUTH CARTER-AGAIN!

[scarynikki12]

You know it ended up being fitting for Julia to present to Ruth as she once won an Emmy three days after her father died. 

[dmeets]

Her mother was 101, wow! 

[yowsah1]

Ruth Carter shouts out her 101-year-old mother and suddenly it's all dusty in here...

[anna0852]

Loved Julia’s shoutout to Christmas Vacation.

That’s on my to-watch list. Love Lesley Manville.

Someone got out the onions at my house again.

[scarynikki12]

I love the energy and love for RRR.

[ProudMary]

Ruth Carter for her second win! I was SO afraid they wouldn't award her a second Oscar for BP2, but her work for Talocan brought another world to life, in addition to Wakanda. I'm  delighted. 

[Browncoat]

I'm not familiar with RRR or this song, but I like the song and the dance!

[yowsah1]

When did this suddenly turn into the Tony Awards?  ;)

[CherryMalotte]

I was so hoping the donkey would pee all over Jimmy's shoes.

Love that Ruth won, she truly deserved the award.  It takes a lot of imagination and research to come up with those costumes

I am already extra emotional tonight.  For the first time ever, I am crying through the Oscars.
