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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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)
