Gotta love it when the best picture actually wins Best Picture

OUATIH won two awards though (including an acting win). The only real "loser" of the night is The Irishman, which is now officially the biggest Oscar loser since American Hustle.

I'd say deservedly but Pacino and Pesci were great

[OncomingStorm93]

The correct decision (almost unheard of from the Academy)

Fuck all the haters? Where are the haters?

I've seen a few online. But out of all the nominees it definitely had the least haters that I could tell.

[Nerfy]

Holy shit! I'll gladly eat crow. The Oscars showed taste for once.

[WittyUsername]

I’m happy for the crew that made Parasite. This is a pretty monumental moment for foreign language films. 
 

On another note, I’m not surprised that Joaquin Phoenix’ win is apparently generating some controversy, but the guy’s never won an Oscar before, despite being one of the most acclaimed actors still working today, so it makes sense that he would get one now.

"Academy Award winner Rami Malek" made me  puke. Literally the worst Best Actor winner in years.

I didn't care much for Bohemian Rhapsody, but Malek has put out some incredible work over the years. Notably, King Tut in the Night at the Museum films. He stole those films out from under Robin Williams.

True Grit (2010) also went 0-for-10, but The Color Purple and The Turning Point went 0-for-11.

 

Not looking forward to the crowd who hates the Liberal Hollywood Oscars anyway being mad a non-English movie won Best Picture.

I had pretty much accepted that 1917 (which was great) was gonna win instead of Parasite.

 

Just made my day this win 

[kitik]

Academy did a nice job of spreading the awards around this year. Most of the big films picked up something.

 

I'm down with that.

For whatever reason people hate films like Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book and Joker so much and they project that hate on to all involved. It's an awful habit.

[FilmBuff]

My point still stands. Phoenix gave a better performance in Gladiator.

HOLY FUCK IT HAPPENED! So fucking happy for Parasite, and I didn't even have to sacrifice any predictions. This was my best year yet, 22/24 right.

[titanic2187]

I am so happy for the Parasite!!! 

 

A great collective decision by Oscar.

 

No wonder when people say Oscar is irrelevant, their claim never came true.

I think you missed the sarcasm, unless you think his performance as King Tut is incredible.

[filmlover]

Wins aside, this was not a good ceremony due to all the padding (even without a host!) and odd choices. The decision of having relatively fresh faces (George MacKay, Beanie Feldstein, Anthony Ramos, etc.) who seem poised to takeover the industry within the next few years introduce actual presenters was both a half-assed way of saying "say hello to the future A-list" and came across as a desperate attempt to address the diversity issues in the industry that have come up in recent weeks.

Well I mean...

Has there ever been another BP winner as cool as Parasite?  I don’t think so.
