Can you legally call someone a streaker if they’re wearing pants? Along those lines, is the bandanna disqualifying?

Wow, does the AVClub practice selective outrage or what?

Yes, the fragile sensibilities of those who don’t want physical violence at an awards show they’re attending. How dare they...

“...while hosting the 96th Oscars.”

I’ll add on to this by pointing out that by virtue of the fact that they are a reflection of the movie industry, the Oscars really have no responsibility to reflect the tastes of, or resonate with “audiences.” 

Who is this article for? The people who use ratings to set prices for ad sales for the broadcast?

Man I hate these takes.

Nah, you know what? EEAAO absolutely WAS a blockbuster, by the standards of its budget and release. With a $100 million take it was easily A24's highest-grossing film ever, and it pulled that off with a relatively tiny budget and minimal advertising. Top Gun and Avatar both had gigantic advertising blitzes which

Yeah, hate to break it to you, but Disney using the Oscars to promote itself “caught on” a while ago. Remember last year when they just didn’t have room for eight categories yet were able to devote an entire segment to performing a song that wasn’t even submitted, much less nominated, complete with cringeworthy Megan

I think the magnitude of EEAAO’s sweep is actually being understated today. It’s now one of only three films to ever win three acting awards (the others being Network and Streetcar Named Desire) and it’s the only one of those to also win Best Picture. On top of that when a film wins seven awards its tally is usually

That RRR acceptance speech for Best Song was delightful...

Loved Kimmel’s teasing about Nicole Kidman’s AMC campaign.

I typically enjoy Kimmel’s hosting. He’s the next Billy Crystal in my eyes: amusing, the right balance of cutting when needed, not above goofy skits or videos, never too cringy. Not perfect by any means, but out of any hosts in recent memory, I think he fits

Is it supposed to be darker than the Battle of Winterfell on purpose?

Cartoon Sebastian : Cute, expressive, hilarious. All-timer great character design.

Live action Sebastian : I DO NOT LIKE THE CRAB TALKING TO ME.

I get that it was an honest mistake, but it’s not a great look that the article indicates the stars of RRR performed the big song from the movie, when the embedded video has the names of the actual performers.

Photorealism ruined fun sequences like “Can’t Wait to Be King,” and I imagine it will do the same for “Under the Sea.”

might be a littel misguided

MAYBE she’s Junior Scream Queen, but the official Scream Queen is the one and only Jamie Lee Curtis - who finally got an Oscar tonight!

100 years of Disney, and this is what they do, an add? They could have/should have done a montage (where are all my montages!!!!) to celebrate instead.

If this is an A then the bar is set pretty low.  There were some decent skits but overall it wasn’t anything crazy funny.
