Results and Live Journal
I’m watching with the partner, so some Red Carpet fluff-
interesting watching Trevor Noah remove the power and authority from a
sycophant when he was being interviewed. Just hate to let YOU go, after you
tried to let me go… Great stuff.
No host hey? So we start with…?
Queen. Minus their incendiary frontman, it’s easy to see why Christian Bale is so unmoved. Still, used to be an awesome band.
Movies are great montage (“Look Bumblebee!”). THIS is why the Oscars are too long.
Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler. I was thinking those 3 ladies could function as de facto hosts- before they ran an extended bit about how they’re NOT hosting, but if they WERE hosting, it would look like THIS… Maybe the Academy will realize how badly they screwed up and have them next year.

That’s more like it!
Most electrifying thing of the night- Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga more electrifying than any of the other performances. So intimate, and based off of no historical true story. Is that the lesson? That the energy that was put into that story could have been more rewarded in the form of Oscars if it was based off actual historical figures? In the meantime we can watch the internet burn with speculation about these 2 hooking up.

The show is really starting to drag at this point. Is it possible they can keep it at, or under(!) 3 hours?

1 for 1 in his movie career, not bad! Makes me want to go
watch Mr. Robot.
…”Made a film about a gay man, an immigrant”… Did you? The film is sanitized to the point where you can’t tell. Don’t want to take away from the performance.
Not fond of how they had 1 award for that segment, way to guarantee the event runs over 3 hours.

Ouch. Just ouch. This will date poorly. Notice the lecture
about equality, similar to the perversion that is 2005’s Crash. Also- notice the lack
of thanks to Paul Shirley’s family, while Tony’s is up on the stage. Forget the
back seat- they’re in the trunk.
Is this worse than LAST year’s movie about fish fucking? Going with yes, as that was technically accomplished at least. Look, it’s my 7th ranked favourite of the 8 film lineup, so it’s tough to take. There’s always next year.

Tied for my worst of all time. Yes, the Oscars can be unpredictable. But they’re also guilty of embarrassing themselves.
