No way in hell was the Flash speed force scene better than Portals or All three Spider-Man swinging together.

Apparently the moment could come from any film since the 1990s. LMAO there are probably ~200 moments more cheery worthy than that.

Spielberg for JAWS and Streisand for Prince of Tides are other examples off the top of my head where their films got best picture noms and they didn't for director.  I'm sure there's many more.

 

Scott for The Martian is another one even though it got Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and Lead Actor noms + 4 tech noms

I love a good Best Song performance with choreography but I didn't get the dancers on Dos Oruguitas. They weren't styled like the characters or anything.

 

Painful plug for the Academy Museum kicking off the "second hour" of the show.

Youn Yuh-jung is just...so wonderful.

So awesome that 3 of the greatest moments in cinema happened in the last couple years. Flash scene was cool but like really? Why was this even in the show? They're wasting time doing TWO voted by twitter awards and yet couldn't find time for actual awards. Embarrassing.

So happy for Kotsur. CODA's entire ensemble was fantastic, so thrilled they've been recognized for it.

Eugenio Derbez does not deserve to be lumped with the rest of the ensemble lol.

They had to let the superhero movies win something, I suppose.

It was just whiplash from such a great moment to "Here's our next animated movie introduced by an actor who looks like he is being held hostage and forced to say his lines"

The actor playing the dead boyfriend in The Girl from Plainview is the same dude who played the dead guy in the failed Dear Evan Hansen movie. Poor guy getting typecast to such roles lmao.
