Just a reminder that Godzilla Minus One is the first Godzilla movie - Japanese or American - to win an Oscar in the exactly seventy years since the first Godzilla movie in 1954.
Jimmy Kimmel continuing to roast Robert Downey Jr over his drug addicted past, even after Downey was clearly uncomfortable with it, was just inappropriate. He's done a super job of staying clean and sober, so it felt like a slap in the face. At least he kept his composure.
As much as I think TikTok is rotting brains, the oscars needs to learn a few lessons from it. Show. More. Clips. Best Editing? Each category should a one minute montage of all the nominees, ilistrating how much work goes into perfecting the craft. Sound, editing, VFX, cinematography, production design - do every single one. It would be so much more engaging for people to actually SEE the work being done, and to see the little things they would never know goes into making a film work. I don't get why this isn't being done more, especially with the Academy trying to appease to young people.

John Mulaney was so fucking funny, and goddamn I did not like how Al Pacino announced the Best Picture, it sounds like he wandered out of the pub or a care home, negative suspence.
As a German I absolutely hated the joke about Sandra Hüllers two roles. You could literally saw she smiled through the pain 🙃 We just don’t make jokes about genocide…
I don’t understand why everyone has to guilt trip Emma Stone’s victory for this performance because the competition was strong this year. Can’t we just celebrate these women for being recognized for their acting talents?
