Academy wondering why Oscars viewership is down while entertainment industry has removed films as the central focal point of pop culture and replaced it with a weird mix of social media and reality TV...

Just give me Malignant fan favourite win and then I'm done.

I hope Shawn Mendes being here means that Cinderella is winning it. The reactions from everyone in the crowd would be the only worthy thing of the night at the rate we're going.

Poor Kirsten Dunst, this felt like "now or never" moment. We'll see what the future holds, though.

Not really? She was never in contention for the win. DeBose became the obvious frontrunner a while back.

Jacob Eloridi should be nominated next year for his obvious fake piano playing in Deep Water.

Dune is just gonna sweep all the technical awards, isn’t it?

First movie with 6 wins since Mad Max Fury Road

Future Superman Jacob Elordi presenting an Oscar and towering over everyone. Can we just get this casting out of the way?

Had no idea the Kissing Booth guy was Australian (refuse to call him the "Euphoria guy")

Just call him Future Superman. Most obvious choice for the role since young Josh Hartnett. WB beyond overthinking this.

We're getting ROTK level in two years. Maybe there will be acting nominations this time!

Insane that Villeneuve didn't even get nominated. In the past decade Gravity, La La Land, and Fury Road got 6 wins. The former two won Best Director and the Fury Road was quite easily 2nd place.

That Bond tribute was so weird. No one remotely associated with the franchise actually recognized. Wondering about the thinking there.

He’ll probably get his time in two years.

We're almost an hour into this and I can already see the pans coming from the trades in a few hours.

I'm still not sure Don't Look Up is a real movie. And I watched the whole thing!

And then theyll have little excuse to not nominate Timothee honestly
