I think they chose to honor Jamie Lee Curtis's body of work over Angela Bassett which can often happen in the supporting category, Jack Palance anyone? And judging by Angela's salty response I think they made the right choice. Jamie Lee Curtis is very pro Hollywood and she's friends with everybody. I don't know if it was the better performance out of the two but she was in the whole movie and Angela was killed in the first third. I'm okay with it
Best oscar night ever. Period.. Simple. Classy and acting winner. ALL of them deserving it very much. BRENDAN ALWAYS MY favorite actor... And his winning somehow feels personal thriump for me too
Not too many shockers at the Oscars this year actually except maybe Jamie Lee Curtis. Pretty good broadcast though. Actually enjoyed Jimmy Kimmel's monologue and jokes overall. And God bless Ke Huy Quan. Supporting actor has been my jam the last two years. Get Ke Huy Quan and Troy Kotsur in a movie and I'm there!
Best Winners for Me : Michelle Yeoh, Brendan Fraser, Ke Huy Quan, Sarah Polley, Pinocchio, RRR, Avatar, Maverick, All Quiet On The Western Front (Cinematography) and basically Everything Everywhere in the top categories. Congrats to all the Winners 🙌
She absolutely is! She's young and this was her first major film role and nomination. She'll be nominated again. The JLC win was definitely a career win, for better or worse.
@@rebeccag8589 agreed. I was watching the movie and I was waiting for a scene in the second half where JLC earned the oscar, so to speak, a dramatic monologue or some amazing transformative acting or something... But it never came. She won an Oscar for very very little screen time... But she's JLC so deserves all the oscars.tbf. 😁🤣
I wished the original academy awards show was this concise and this entertaining. 3 hours in less than 20 minutes and nothing of import lost. Thank you.
Your edits are amazing! Great reaction video. Have been following you on and off for a few years around Oscar season. Your predictions were pretty on point!
the second you did the macarena, i lost it lol. Fun night, still kinda shocked with Curtis but i'll take it. Freaking RRR was probably the biggest highlight of the night.
The Oscars felt off to me, I don’t know what it was but something just felt off. I also found it interesting that half of the Best Picture nominees didn’t walk away with any Oscars
Your dedication to cinema man, it's unmatched. Of all the channels I follow, you're the only one who follows it this hard. Makes me feel less nerdy for wanting these every year lol. Thanks for all you do, brotha!
I nailed all of the noms and i gotta give you props it's all nice and easy to predict when you watch the show but before it gets hard cuz we overthink basically every aspect of everything or should i say EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE. This oscar has been a W in my books.
Loving the reactions Austin. Thought this was one of the more fun Oscars in recent memory. I hope you do a video on the last of us. That season finale is incredible if you haven’t watched it yet.
I don't think I'm gonna get over how fantastic the live performance of "Naatu Naatu" was. I've seen it like five times and now I'm seeing it for the sixth time 😭😭😭
Imagine how it would've been if Jr NTR & Ram Charan did it, with the original background score & the sequence recreated. That would've blowed the audience mind.
I was happy with all the choices. Supporting actor was a lock I think it was the only race that was not in question regardless of the ridiculous BAFTA outcome. I agree with your supporting actress flip. Cate Blanchett did not need her third Academy award denying Michelle who's performance was not as intense but certainly more multifaceted. It's like comparing oranges to grapes. And even though Austin Butler gave up 3 years of his life Brandon Fraser gave up 20 years of his life. Austin Butler became Elvis but I wasn't as emotionally affected as I was Brandon's portrayal in the whale even though it's a terribly depressing movie. I don't think anyone was robbed and I think everybody that won was deservingly so
Good show this year for the Oscars. My only gripe was that Top Gun should have WON cinematography and wasn’t even nominated?! How did they miss on that one. I really wanted The Batman to win something, but I can’t complain about too many of the selections this year. Good stuff.
This year's Oscar proves that narrative matters a lot. That a strange wacky movie with heart and originality can win big. That the Academy has no problem leaving half of its Best Picture nominees empty-handed. That the BAFTA love for All Quiet on the Western Front was not a BAFTA thing; heck it won 4 Oscars! Can't wait for the next season!!
I'm glad that Bassett didn't win. Regards of quality of her performance in that one scene,. which was the one being considered, J.L.C.'s and the other nominees' performances were judged over their entire films.
Highkey think if Babylon hadn't bombed and reviewed so badly it could have taken production design, but the fact that it did made most Academy members either too unimpressed or too embarassed to vote for it.
Exactly. I love her for all her iconic roles but this year in the Best Supporting Actress category she would have been my choice no. 4 or 5 behind Kerry Condon, Angela Basset and Stephanie Hsu.
I know... Such poor taste, I get the disappointment like Kerry's face; she looked kind of sad. I believe she knew she was the only Hope for Banshees; but Angela didn't even clap!!! That looked so bad
Understandable losing to a performance like Curtis'. She was fine with what she was given. Not a performance to give an Oscar to. It was a career award unfortunately.
Well, I liked Brendan Fraser. For me personally, Naatu Naatu and Jamie Lee are overrated. Was rooting for Kerry Condon and Hold My Hand. Glad you liked those moments though.
@@sharaththallapally5208 My favorite moment was seeing Banshees win nothing. It needs to stay the best kept secret in cinema. Nothing ruins a movie more than everyone loving it.
@@sharaththallapally5208 They are overrated. Movies are too subjective for awards. Kind of fun to predict and see who wins, but like reviews which I also do not pay attention to, what matters is what each individual person likes. Not awards or reviews.
Steven Spielberg is such a genius. He is one of the greatest directors ever. Not only of Hollywood but of the World Cinema. Hence, it is really sad to see that he got overlooked by the Academy in this harsh fashion even after making such a great film as 'The Fablemans'.
Let this sink in: only one of his films ever took home seven Oscars - Schindler’s List. Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Arc, Saving Private Ryan and now dozens of other remarkable films now form a creative pool that should have prompted the winners to say “we stand on the shoulders of a giant!”
I missed almost every 50/50 shout (except for Brendan Fraser) so I had an absolute stinker this year with the predictions and went from 20/23 last year to 14/23 this year… but anyways I’ll take it for the EEAO sweep, I only wish that Stephanie Hsu would’ve been the one to win for supporting actress Also the Babylon snubs hurt, should’ve easily taken score and production design AT LEAST…
To me, it’s a tie for Best Supporting Actress for both Angela Bassett- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Jamie Lee Curtis- Everything Everywhere All At Once Best Lead Actor: Tie for Austin Butler- Elvis & Brendan Fraser- The Whale
A24 contributed to 9 Oscar awards (between EEAAO and The Whale). WOW. I have never seen a movie that won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor/Actress--crazy!
Best part of the video 5:05. And I don’t know why wakanda forever was nominated for best visual affects. It literally looked like descendants 3 at the end battle
I really wanted Tár for Best Cinematography! It was a gorgeous looking movie. Black Panther had the best costumes hands down! Back to back wins for Ruth!! My Year of Dicks should’ve won!! Babylon was robbed twice! The BAFTAs really changed everything with their All Quiet surge. All Quiet was nowhere until the BAFTAs! I’m in the minority but, I don’t really care for Top Gun. It was okay, glad to see it get some love though. We knew Michelle Yeoh was winning once we saw Halle Berry was announcing Best Actress. No way they have the only WOC to win announce the winner and it’s not Michelle Yeoh.
I got the top eight right in the main contest I entered, but I missed on Makeup and a couple other craft categories (no love for "Elvis" in Production Design and Costume Design also did me in) and thereby just missed out on winning the whole shebang. I'm kicking myself now for not listening to Austin and others who correctly meshed Makeup and Lead Actor winners, and not going back and changing my Makeup pick thereafter, or at least spliting the vote for it (which also would've put me over the line in first)- lesson learned. So happy specifically for Jamie Lee and all the other "Everything" winners (making history as the first Best Picture with three acting winners), and for Brendan.
Happy that you got everything mostly right! But man I wanted some surprises. I wanted some wins for Banshees … I wanted Marcel to win. And sorry but either Paul or Colin should have had the best actor.
It’s better this way. I don’t want everyone to love Banshees. I want to be unique & the fact Banshees won nothing at all pretty much makes me an outcast. Best lead actor, best supporting actress, best cinematography, best score, best director...I don’t care what anyone else thinks lol.
The part in the movie that I felt broke the flow of the edit for Top Gun: Maverick was that crossfading “sex” scene. It’s a superior sequel and was an overall solid action film, but I don’t think it was THE best, but that’s me. I’m happy Brenden won over Austin. There was something about him that felt disingenuous, just rubbed me the wrong way. Fraser’s gratitude and the power in his performance knocked it out of the park for me. Austin was good, but felt more gilts than guts, and more style over substance. It wasn’t until the end we got to see some substance and range, but by that point, the movie exhausted me with its super cutting through the first half that once things started to slow down in the second half, it felt like it lost steam. Also, he wasn’t able to handle his acting that he’s stuck with the accent which felt a bit much. Some of the method acting antics are too much. Brenden can emote and channel empathy through in such a way that made his performance authentic and real. It’s sad that many people took the wrong things away from it, some long before they even saw the movie. Michelle receiving the Oscar from Halle Berry was a fitting passing of the torch from the first black actress to win best lead actress/ first woman of color to win the problematic lead actress category onto the first Asian actress to win. SAG was 4 for 4 with BAFTA 0 in the acting categories. While All Quiet is a solid feat, I felt didn’t have much other than the premise and visually showing us the horrors of war. Glad Sarah Polley took home the Oscar for adapted screen play because it’s a dialogue heavy feature that was definitely it’s strong suit, and it taking something home after it’s contentious award season shutouts, it got a well deserved recognition. Jaime Lee Curtis was a bit of a surprise considering that Stephane was the stronger contender in that category between the two of them, and it hurt to see Angela lose out again. She’s such a great actress that’s been shutout of the Oscars or recognition for a long time. I thought this could have been the Academy’s chance to correct it’s wrong for Angela’s loss for her turn as Tina Turner in What’s Love Got To Do With It. Sadly, not the case. Both the same age, but I guess this is a career win for Curtis and EEAAO was that final addition to her repertoire to tip in her favor. Ke is such a big burst of genuine energy that made me so happy to see him win. Barry was okay in Banshees, but to win over Ke? Really BAFTA?? Now the ticking time clock for next year’s Academy Awards lol.
i don't know why ppl were thinking austin butler could give tough competition to brendan fraser..one can tell by the end of the whale movie that he will win oscar. in elvis you get 2/3rd feeling of what brendan performed.. his performance sat well in that movie compared to elvis. hardwork wise i think both did exceptionally well.. its just that elvis movie didn't gave much charge to butler's acting. and yes just like you said RRR could have definetly won best international feature film if it was in the nomination.. sadly indian film selection members didn't pick it and instead selected an art film.. they didn't believe in the commercial movie.. just by craze and word of mouth it could have dominated all quiet on the western front as that movie was already winning in few other categories. end of the day india got 1st oscar only through commercial cinema and selection members should take a not of it atleast now.
