90th Annual Academy Awards | Live Discussion Thread | Ceremony starts now

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I wonder if the trailer for Mary Poppins Returns airs tonight.

[Ithil]

"I want Gary Oldman to finally receive recognition for his decades of wonderful performances and win an Oscar!"

 

 

Shit, he won for a Oscar baiting Churchill impression in a generic inspirational historical drama.

[Avatree]

I have a sneaking suspicion that either get out or lady bird will win BP so i placed bets on both of them.

[CJohn]

I think Get Out will win best picture. I also think there will be one or two surprises in the acting/director categories.

[commendable]

I'll be a happy man if get out wins

[Morieris]

I want SoW/Get Out/Lady Bird.

 

Only because, for the past maybe four years, I"ve watched each BP winner before they were nominated and I'd like to see the streak continue.

 

^{also I never got around to seeing 3BB}

I want it to not be Get Out so the eventual winner can be the first winner I've seen in theaters

Weird that Cinematography is being saved so late. Guess theyre really banking on a Deakins win

[CoolioD1]

at this point deakins is the only win i want to see and cinematography is soooo late in the show this year. usually it's pretty early sigh.

2 consecutive years with Actress being the penultimate award. Normally they alternate between Actor and Actress.

[Morieris]

What do you do if you even get there that early, find a spot in the back and take a nap on a sofa.

I'm going all in on Dunkirk winning nothing. It lowkey won't be surprising to me if SOW gets everything its nominated for except the acting categories and screenplay.

Switch Billboard with Get Out for Best Screenplay and I am 100% here for this.  

 

EDIT:  Wait.  The Shape of Water sweep had me gloss over Best Song.  No way.  Remember Me >>>>>>>>> everything else.

So hyped *.* Hopefully there's some surprises!

[Morieris]

So E! had some people at a podium shuffling through very large papers on the red carpet at a desk...what were they doing?

 

Also the cast of Get Out is looking fabulous.

Allison Williams dress is heinous.  Pale white women should not wear beige/nude. It does NOTHING for you.  Her hair and earrings are super gorgeous though.
