The Cats have seen us! Run! Someone get a laser pointer! 

[thuganomics85 25.8k]

The Avengers might have defeated Thanos, but I guess they're no match for the trenches of World War 1!

[tennisgurl 91.2k]

Glad to see everyone having a sense of humor about the massive unholy abomination that was Cats. I mean...they had hands!!!!!! Human hands!!!!

[bmoore4026 7.2k]

And Marvel loses another Oscar.

(And I liked the playing with the microphone bit)

[yowsah1 4.5k]

Drat.  I wanted AVENGERS: ENDGAME to win at least ONE Oscar...

[freddi 3.3k]

I am loving the flagellation (by the industry) of CATS!!!

[batting the foam of the microphone -- yup, got it right]

I was really hoping that Endgame would take one home. Then the camera pans over to Marty...

What makes her so obnoxious?

Okay this is a few years ago but she led a social media campaign to get Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet closed for being "racist" when the show replaced an African American lead. It later came out that the actor showed up not knowing the part. But she wouldn't back down, and blocked a bunch of people who respectfully pointed out to her that there was way more backstage drama behind the firing and the musical had an extremely diverse cast.

Ummm...I love Sandra Oh, but I hate that dress.

[mojoween 38.2k]

I love The Avengers music.  It makes me feel some kind of way.

[Browncoat 25.4k]

I did like them batting at the microphone.

And I still don't like Sandra Oh's dress.

[Misslindsey 16.1k]

Anne  of Green Gables would love Sandra Oh's puffed sleeves.

[bmoore4026 7.2k]

'cause when I think of Ray Ramano, I think of Live and Let Die

[wallflower75 5.2k]

Wait, wait, what did Pesci say???  Curse you, person with your finger on the "no cursing" button!!!

[freddi 3.3k]

Okay, the producers must be holding the puppies of all the nominees hostage, because they are ALL talking as briefly as possible and running off the stage.  

Whoa, they bleeped Ray Romano?! 

[Frost 5.9k]

If a dress has a ton of ruffles on the top, it needs to be streamlined everywhere else.

[tennisgurl 91.2k]

Them batting at the microphone is still making me giggle.

[Neeners 5.1k]

If that dress didn't have the loofah element it would be quite pretty.

[mojoween 38.2k]

Bombshell is an Oscar winner.  Fuck me.

[scarynikki12 24.6k]

Alright what did they bleep?

[AimingforYoko 22.0k]

So basically Bombshell won for the job they did on Charlize.

[MVFrostsMyPie 11.9k]

My cats have now requested a microphone for their next toy. 

[thuganomics85 25.8k]

To be fair, I suspect any time you quote Joe Pesci, at least five cuss words will be included.

Bombshell wasn't as great as it could have been, but deserved win, because it was freaky as hell how much Charlize Theron looked like Megyn Kelly

That Roger Ailes make up did look pretty dang good.

Hated Sandra's dress, but she and Ray were charning.

Pretty sure he said, "Then Pesci would come in and say, "Get the fuck out of my chair,"" - or something very close to that.

[kittykat 2.6k]

Pretty sure visual effects was the Irishman's last real chance to get on the board.  Shutout pending...

I had Joker for makeup but Bombshell makes sense as well.

I think something about Joe Pesci telling him to get out of his fucking chair?

My favorite podcast had a moment when the ‘caster’s cat was rubbing against her microphone.

[Neeners 5.1k]

That was really sweet and I think she was actually touched.

[Frost 5.9k]

The reason this show is so damn long is they're putting in several commercials after every award now.

[shoregirl 3.6k]

That intro was cute.

"I'm 87 years old."

"And I'm Charlize Thereon"

Hee!

I didnt see Bombshell but when I saw the trailer I did a double take on how much they made Charlize look like Meaghan Kelly

There's an art to the first person speaking and drawing the second one over to get a word in. But when the first speaker just recites a list like this guy did, and he also kept saying "our" and "we," he (1) made it seem like he was speaking for both of them and (2) made the producer less patient about letting a second person speak, in my opinion. 

[bmoore4026 7.2k]

Now, for Best Foreign Film, which will go to Parasite.

Agree, I just can’t imagine how frustrating it was for his colleague 😞

When Scorcese made his remarks about superhero films not being "real cinema", I had to wonder how many people besides just other directors and actors.  I mean, superhero films hire small country's worth of people, not just in artistic but tech.  How many of those people took out their anger in their Oscar vote?

[thuganomics85 25.8k]

Here's a toast to all the non-Parasite films!  I'm sure they're all good too, but well...

Be careful, there's an industry nickname for furry microphone wind screens.

Penelope's Chanel dress with POCKETS is dress goals. 

[AimingforYoko 22.0k]

That was the biggest lock of the night.

[Misslindsey 16.1k]

Yessssssssss Parasite!

[Toodleoo 8.9k]

Penelope, girl, you look like Breakfast at Tiffany’s had a baby with 1987.
