Awards Season 2022

[Computer Raheem]

Finally, some fucking energy

[therewillbeblus]

Welp, every last minute change to my gut instincts to bet on Elvis failed. Hope this continues into the category that counts at least

[Computer Raheem]

You know, they made this whole song-and-dance about having only 45 seconds for speeches, and yet all these speeches have gone way over that and no one has been played off :-k

[Brian C]

Why is Jimmy Kimmel hosting this show if he hates the Oscars so much.

I mean, it's not like Hollywood doesn't have good reasons for some good self-loathing. But this is just sad.

[Apperson]

Thank God it wasn't Stranger at the Gate

Thank God it wasn't Stranger at the Gate

I haven’t seen it, but the reviews on Letterboxd make it sound horrific

Give the people what they want, Academy: Billy Crystal. Pay him what he wants, and everyone wins

*edit* Actually, get Pedro Pascal to do it; you'll get the views y'all want

I thought he genuinely believed that he was no longer capable of topping himself and wanted to bow out of it for good.

[Brian C]

Bad look for the Academy to play off the Indian lady and then let this guy ramble on aimlessly for an hour.

They also cut off an Asian-American woman who co-won in another category earlier

[Computer Raheem]

The cameraman needs to give Gaga some space

[beamish14]

I just want to be in a universe with no Melissa McCarthy or Josh Gad

[knives]

McCarthy has a life pass thanks to Gilmore Girls.

[Computer Raheem]

I just want to be in a universe with no Melissa McCarthy or Josh Gad

I will gladly join you

[soundchaser]

McCarthy has a life pass thanks to Gilmore Girls.

I maintain she was fantastic in Can You Ever Forgive Me?

He’s been so vocal about how he would’ve intervened in the slap had he been the host, I bet he took the gig just for the ego-boost that he’d be a safe host

But I like Kimmel as a host, way more than most others in the last stretch of time, and yes I know I’m an outlier

[Apperson]

Damn, they'll even spite BAFTA whilst giving an Oscar to a film BAFTA liked!

I actually do like that film quite a bit, but my goodwill towards her completely ran out

[Computer Raheem]

The Academy officially hates Elvis, we love to see it

[Kracker]

Well, Mindy Kaling is up there now, so the Academy hates us as well

[soundchaser]

The Academy officially hates Elvis, we love to see it

Also Babylon, apparently.

[Apperson]

These wins are fiiiiiiiiiiine I guess (not really, the Babylon was world-class), but if All Quiet wins Screenplay I'll be really fucking mad.

[Computer Raheem]

Look, I get that All Quiet would sweep the technicals, but if I hear those same three horn blares again, I'm gonna lose it

[Brian C]

Wow, Oscars for production designing WWI trenches and a three-note score. Truly the pinnacle of movie magic being rewarded tonight.

[Computer Raheem]

These wins are fiiiiiiiiiiine I guess (not really, the Babylon was world-class), but if All Quiet wins Screenplay I'll be really fucking mad.

Well, you can guarantee that Sarah Polley is gonna win, because they want to show that they care about female artists (and an I.O.U. for not giving her a Best Director nom)
