I have not held an Oscar.  A Grammy, yes, but not an Oscar.  I was joking.  I can only imagine the neck pain as well as the damage to your chest with an Oscar bouncing off of it. 

I'm sorry - didn't mean to sound like a scold.  I knew you were joking.  I was trying to type fast since the thread was moving so fast and I don't do that very well  😀

No chemistry between them at all. The chemistry between Cruise and McGillis in the original was much hotter.

I’ve always kind of resented Jennifer Connelly for her Oscar win.  Both Dame Helen and Dame Maggie in “Gosford Park” were far superior to her that year. But she benefitted from them presumably splitting the vote.  
 

And I agree about her Top Gun Maverick character.  Completely extraneous and boring.  I much would have rather seen Kelly McGillis brought back.  But I guess they thought she was too old and out of shape?  Shame.

Is it Memoriam time?  Are they going to ruin it again?

It wouldn't be the Oscars if they didn't fuck that up

have to say, not as badly as in years past. not sure about the alternating in focus/out of focus. but at least you could read the damn names. 

but plunking angela lansbury in the middle. and waiting until 11pm… but still, all in all, not awful.

I never for a moment expected Maverick and Charlie to still be together, so I didn't mind her absence, but Penny was an absolutely pointless character that a bland performance to match certainly didn't help, so why couldn't he just be unattached?

Because Tom Cruise probably wants to pretend he's still some irresistible stud?

Charlie was always too good for him.

Well, since THE FABLEMANS has no chance of winning Best Picture, bringing out Harrison Ford to give the award is clearly for the big moment when he and Ke get to share a big hug.

Gonna be awkward if ALL QUIET takes it instead.

Oh no oh no oh no...I'm having flashbacks to the last time Harrison was expected to give an award to a friend and....and then...oh no oh no...
