have loved both of PTA's speeches. loved Lionel Richie. hated them playing off future Criterion members K-Pop Demon Hunters

actor is definitely weak though. I know Timmy blew it big time but Wagner Moura would've been a great pick

At least people will remember it in 25 years, unlike apparently Moulin Rouge! based on the crickets (who thought that was a landmark film for anyone?)

Is there reason to believe voters actually blew Chalamet / Marty Supreme off for his comments about ballet and opera? So dumb if so. Was easily the best of this year's crop of Best Picture contenders I thought.

No, the ballots were in well before that

The Rob Reiner tribute skipping North was kind of darkly humorous. Would’ve been nice to see Elijah Wood up there with Daphne Zuniga (!)

I guess the real question now is who here tallied up the most correct predictions?

The show itself seemed shoddy, under-rehearsed, and cheap, but a lot of the right people won. Huge night for Pamela Abdy and Michael de Luca, studio heads at Warner Bros. It's gonna be very interesting to see where they land after Paramount takes over. And huge night for Netflix, too, even though they're still the whipping boy of the show's writers. Between the two of them, there wasn't much left for anyone else.

Theater kids love it, but even with me knowing that I had to Google just to figure out why the two of them were up there.

I just want to take a moment to razz Vogue.com for their terrible fashion reporting tonight. They still have Anne Hathaway's dress credited to two different design houses (it's Alessandro Michele for Valentino, not Dior). Like, isn't this the one thing they should be doing right?

Having Melissa McCarthy's mike fuzzing out during the presentation of Best Sound was pretty goddamn funny. The sound for the entire broadcast seemed very off and muddled.

I don’t know what the hell happened with Streisand, but I’m happy whenever I can mute Melissa McCarthy

Streisand had both a handheld singing mic and a fixed stage mic. Either she was getting feedback from one of the mics or they forgot to turn the stage mic on until after she was speaking for a while.

McCarthy's lavalier mic was attached to the top of her turtleneck, basically pressing against her neck.

As soon as Chalamet is next nominated, he should just go in hiding. His presence during the campaigning period is just counterproductive for him.

I guess Jessie Buckley benefited because the outrage over Chalamet's comments overshadowed the outrage over her comments about cats. Chalamet was robbed, I liked Sinners, but it's much more of an ensemble film than Marty Supreme. His red carpet look on the other hand was deeply unflattering.
As I'm not a fan of One Battle After Another, the only major win I'm really behind is Amy Madigan, who has not only given us a horror icon for the ages, but has also been nothing but delightful throughout awards season.

As mentioned above, voting was closed before anyone heard a whisper about ballet/opera. The performance and/or film just didn't land with enough voters.

The opera comments came too late but he’d spent the last year doing this kind of stuff

You won't hear me arguing that the guy isn't annoying as hell, that's for sure.

Many actors are but that's not what we should judge them on. In German we have a word for it: "Rampensau" (Limelight hog)
