The Best Picture nominees were highlighted all night. The Best Song nominees weren’t read before announcing the winner either. Pacino did come off a little awkward when he stepped out on stage, and I think he could have put a little more showmanship into announcing Oppenheimer as the winner (“And the Oscar goes to…”),…

Sir, this is an entertainment blog, not Emma Keates’ diary.

You can disagree with a theory without calling it stupid. First of all, no one brought up Napoleon. Second, no one is alleging a “grand conspiracy. Third, the Academy Awards are political, and voters are on record voting for certain nominees for the silliest of reasons (someone told the Hollywood Reporter that they vo…

Still feels like it should be done by now.

I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the elephant in the room: streaming companies. Streaming companies owned by tech giants have been pouring money into award campaigns for years now, mostly successfully. I got the sense with this years Oscar’s that there was a backlash, and a concerted effort to reward traditional…

I was genuinely surprised that Gladstone didn’t win, but I saw both movies and if I’m honest with myself, it’s almost not even fair for them to compete in the same category. Emma Stone is in almost every single scene, and did such a phenomenal job. She absolutely earned her win, and it’s only because of “optics” that…

This 100%.

With KOTFM he made more than one poor choice with the source material. Having read the book—twice—Scorsese’s adaptation was fine, but not stellar.

I thought Mark Ruffalo was hamming it up waaaay too much.

Also, thank fucking goodness they dialed way back on the montages!

Very happy to see Christopher Nolan get his long overdue award. Classy acceptance speech too.

Let’s goooooooooo

It was one of only two “that movie was bad!” jokes, the other one unfairly targeted at the great Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts.

The actual Three Body Problem is a pretty famous problem in physics

The writing for most of the sketches was weak as usual but wow was it fun to watch Josh Brolin just have fun. I wonder why he doesn’t do more comedic movies.

OppenHYPEr was right there tho

This is weirdly passive-aggressive. TV has evolved in response to new developments in the media landscape and viewing habits. TiVo and streaming enabled binge-watching, which allowed serialized storytelling to eclipse episodic storytelling as the norm for TV. Now in 2024, the streaming money spigot is being turned…

In this analogy though, Nintendo would be the studio, and the developer would be the production company. And to the OP’s point, most people really don’t care which production company produced a movie. 

Don’t be ridiculous.

My uncle is working on it.
