Awards Season 2020

[Brian C]

Glenn Close, hip-hop grannie.

[therewillbeblus]

K, there's no way Glenn Close's surprising knowledge isn't staged

[soundchaser]

What...is...happening

Glenn Close is singlehandedly saving this segment.

(Although I do suspect it was staged, yes.)

[Kracker]

If they give it to Chadwick, guess they can just combine the In Memoriam and Best Actor segments this year

[beamish14]

What...is...happening

The confusion and cringe is just so palpable.

Back to life...back to reality

[soundchaser]

If they give it to Chadwick, guess they can just combine the In Memoriam and Best Actor segments this year

Which may be what’s happening, as it seems we’re getting Best Picture next. (Has that ever happened before?)

[therewillbeblus]

I'll buy whatever Zendaya riding on a horse is selling

[therewillbeblus]

I like Angela Bassett, but what an excessively theatrical way to talk about loss. That bothered me way more than it should have.

[Pavel]

They are speeding through the In Memoriam.

[PfR73]

Well, they left out Oscar nominee Adam Schlesinger

[Pavel]

Am I crazy or did they leave out Kirk Douglas??

[soundchaser]

They are speeding through the In Memoriam.

Physically painful on the eyes.

I guess Monte Hellman will be in next year’s?

[Brian C]

Am I crazy or did they leave out Kirk Douglas??

Was in last year's no? Died Feb 5, 2020

[therewillbeblus]

Yeah I believe he was in last year's

[PfR73]

Am I crazy or did they leave out Kirk Douglas??

He was in last year's.

[Pavel]

Ah true

[beamish14]

I was happy to see Brenda Banks there, an animator who worked with Ralph Bakshi on several films.

No Monte Hellman? Bullshit. You could've added him to your slideshow.

There is ALWAYS a publicist there, which I think is ridiculous.

[soundchaser]

This feels wrong.

[PfR73]

What...is...happening

[therewillbeblus]

So we get single-scene clips for best pictures?!

[PfR73]

Why the F are they giving Best Picture before Actor & Actress???

[hearthesilence]

I mean, we knew this wasn't going to be a great broadcast thanks to the pandemic, but it didn't have to be THIS shitty.

[PfR73]

I should've known something was up when I saw that cat & dog living together earlier today.

[Finch]

I'd rather they give BP now to a film that almost everyone agrees deserves to win, than ending the show with a BP winner that everyone is flipping out over.

[PfR73]

But they didn't.
