Placehoder for further commentary, and more last minute change ... But first, the predix, with my friend Griz's in purple. Winners in red.
Prior to the show comments: you know what, I'm all about the worm of the desert, but that's not what the Oscar's gonna be about, so we're gonna settle in for whatever wins the least amount of outrage.
Show comments:
- Wow I'm so glad Dune wins all the technical stuff, but it also means they're not going up that stage often. What a shame! But could this also mean not that much for Dog?
- Ariana DeBose's red jumpsuit is glorious!
- Oscars is about Dune, after all, even if it's just in the technical categories!
- Best presenter/winner speech combo: Yuh-Jung Youn/Troy Kotsur - she even attempted to sign his name!
- Academy's so rude to Drive My Car's director, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, playing him off after like 10 seconds up there. This was a major category!
- Wow it's not that much of a dog's world after all!
- Who are putting together the fan favourite list? What crap-ola is this?
- WTF HAPPENED. WILL SMITH. SLAPPING. CHRIS ROCK. ON STAGE. JAWS DROPPED.
- You tried, Puff Daddy. You tried. Can the rest of the show recover?
- The show is zippy but, man, it's not doing a good job of highlighting the film nominees.
- Oh Billie, thanks for bringing the show back!
- Jane Campion to Kevin Costner "that was very dramatic" after he tried his darndest to imitate Obama's way of breaking a sentence into ten. I mean, it was pretty sincere and he tried, but yes, that was.
- This Will Smith moment. What did they just censor on my TV when switching to the Williams' sisters? "At your peak, the devil comes for you." Oh, you're so wise, Danzel (or so Will Smith said Danzel said).
-WOW. What a night of a shocker. CODA unseated front runner The Power of the Dog. I guess it's time for the Power of the Nap! To the dog house!
Winners: Dune, CODA, Oscar's relevance
Not winners: Craftspeople that make the movies (thanks to pre-taped, edited down version of their wins), The power of the dog went from front runner to losing everything except Director, Chris Rock (no matter the fall out, the Will Smith moment was not great for him), nominated couples
