I meant one director making three movies that got 10+ Oscar nominee but went winless.

You may have seen his wife before... probably the only member of the Fast & Furious crew that will remain dead.

She wasn’t waiting to speak, so her face didn’t collapse. The speaker was the film’s director and visual effects supervisor. She was his co-visual effects supervisor (she worked on the effects in nearly all of his movies). His speech, as written, was actually short, but doing it in English slowed him down and led to some rough pronunciations (he would’ve been faster with a translator, but at least he tried). She was just there beside him to hold up the photo of Shuji Abe, one of the film’s producers, who died in December. Yamazaki actually mentioned him at the end of his speech, albeit as the music played. The music made it awkward because he was literally wrapping it up and the conductor clearly misjudged.

the show was ok. not bad, not great. kinda ho hum. JK was playing it very safe. no real surprises. wish Lily Gladstone had won though. other than that was happy for the winners who won. is Stone the youngest ever to win 2 Oscars?

rocket1312

Stone's not even close to being the youngest. Billie Eilish actually set the record last night at age 22. But if you're just talking best actress, then there are multiple who were younger. Remember, Stone's 35 and there was a time not that long ago in Hollywood when that was considered old.

I'm pretty sure there is another one that will remain dead...though I guess the character's not dead.

Yeah that was cringeworthy, like none of the other crew on stage could speak English?

The In Memorium segment really sucked for reasons already mentioned but also on their choices on who gets featured and who doesn't. Burt Young, who was nominated for best supporting actor and is in some classic films, is thrown onto the last card with 50 others, (which you had 3 seconds to read), while Richard Lewis gets featured who is more known for his TV work.

All of their interviews have been in Japanese or with an interpreter. All the excitement and nervousness just made it really hard to focus on something he probably tried to rehearse a few times. I give him credit for trying to address everyone in English because he seems like a really nice and humble guy.

I only watched the VFX category, so I was a little disappointed with Schwarzenegger and DeVito. When Danny addresses Keaton, I was hoping Arnold would have asked "Who the fuck is this?"

GoldenJCJ

^ Yeah, a simple “He looks a little different” from Arnold would have sufficed.

I loved seeing Al Pacino but it seems like the Academy is TRYING to create another “Moonlight” moment by continually bringing out actors who seem to have mentally checked out years ago to announce BP.

cultshock

I think he would be fantastic.

They didn't need an interpreter, they just needed someone to read the damn paper he was holding...

JeffTheAlpaca

I wished Gladstone won and Scorsese films for the most part get screwed at the Oscars

JeffTheAlpaca

And they show everything from a distance and why not just show the photos of the people in full screen or something close to it?

The songs were super short except for the Ken song and what was up with that?

JeffTheAlpaca

He was ok but it is getting boring with him hosting every year and go for Mulaney if he wants the job or a actor or actress or a combo of a man and a woman

Next year do the show in February and before DST happens please!

In the 90's they could get away with that since DST was in April.

Daytripper

Same. I did not like "Poor Things" at all. I'm not a fan of any of Yorgos Lanthimos' films. I love weird, but he's too weird even for me.

Yeah, that was insane. I had to pause and back up just to see who was on the screen because it was so far away.

Jason Bovberg

If the performance had been in the correct category (supporting), she probably would have beaten Randolph.

Stone was in that entire movie, totally dynamic, great character arc. Amazing performance, IMO.

etching

And that's with the show starting five minutes late because of the protests?

Count Dooku

I liked the joke, but that's what I was thinking!!

Count Dooku

I am reticent to break this news to the people on this forum, but the vast majority of people watching both at home and in the theater do not give a shit about all these old people they have never heard of, who have died. They want to be reminded of the famous people who have passed, so they can feel some fleeting fondness for their memory. They do not try to concentrate people's attention on a full screen montage of the over 100 people who died because people would not watch it, and they don't want to waste the valuable TV time.

Goldberg74

Would have been funny if Clooney was sitting next to Keaton.

TomOpus

Jimmy only has a few more host jobs to break Bob Hopes record of 19.

Before Eilish and O’Connell’s record-setting victory, only three people had won two Oscars by the age of 30, all of which came from the Best Actress category. Luise Rainer won back-to-back Oscars in 1937 and 1938 for her performances in “The Great Zigfield” and “The Good Earth,” achieving her second win at age 28. Jodie Foster won for “The Accused” in 1989 at age 26 and “The Silence of the Lambs” in 1992 at age 29. Hilary Swank won her Oscars for “Boys Don’t Cry” in 2000 and “Million Dollar Baby” in 2005, winning her second at age 30.

I see one person gave the broadcast 1 star. It must have taken away valuable time from his reality dating shows and thousands of hours of DVR backlog.

Overall, I thought it was a solid, but unspectacular broadcast. I don't know what it means "play to safe" which some people are referring to here. I mean this is The Oscars, why does it need to be edgy or take risks? I mean maybe you can say the John Cena bit was a little edgy? But, overall it was a pretty good broadcast except for some minor fumbles (Pacino) and a segment they just can't get right (In Memoriam)

and it actually finished on time despite starting late.

One of the low-key best jokes of the night was when Kimmel told a stage hand to rip up the envelope after Stone won Best Actress and only BP Award remained. It was an extra Best Actress - Emma Stone envelope handed to Warren Beatty that caused the La La Land - Moonlight flub.
