It sucks when the Oscar producers decide to reject the original performer if they're willing to sing. It's different when you have actors singing in a movie but they chicken out of the live performance. So we have three Original Song performances announced, all that's left is Naatu Naatu and Gaga, or will performing as herself right now ruin her immersion as Harley Quinn... * Voting doesn't start until Thursday, but the Anonymous Ballots are already here... Remember to take these with a grain of salt: the Penélope Cruz domination of the Honest Ballots last year meant nothing in the end.

Morieris Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 When will they announce presenters? Quote I’ve watched Jamie Lee Curtis in so many movies since I was around 10 years old Oh boy, a Freebie Legacy voter 🙄 Quote . I just watched “Everything Everywhere All at Once” a second time and it was even better on repeat viewing. The ending just floored me. However ... I might watch “Tár” again before I vote Good on this person for doing their due diligence to be certain. Even if they don't vote the way I want them to, I can respect that.

It really is curious how we're less than two weeks away and they haven't any presenters yet (last year the first announcements came 24 days before the ceremony). Either they're having trouble securing people (a byproduct of the Dolby being the scene of the crime where slapgate occurred?) or they're going to announce all of them at once but who knows, maybe something is up.

grim22 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Useless trivia - this is almost certainly the first year that one of the Best Picture nominee titles is fully contained within another Best Picture nominee with Tar and Avatar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxOfficeFangrl Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I looked at last year's Oscar thread and it's like the inverse of last year, the first set of presenters were announced three weeks before the ceremony, while the Original Song performers were being confirmed with less than a week to go. Now we have four out of five musical performances and barely anything on the presenters. Interesting...

filmlover Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 "Naatu Naatu" is such a jam. I'm usually against these splashy musical openings because they typically beg for the Rob Lowe/Snow White comparisons, but if they need to have one this year, this would be the right choice to kick off the ceremony in energetic fashion.

filmlover Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 I'm mostly curious how they're going to handle the acting categories since the Best Actor winner from last year is banned (have to imagine DeBose and Kotsur are there to fulfill their "crowning the next Supporting winner" duties). Might be like five years ago when after Casey Affleck stepped down from his Best Actress duties they had two sets of previous winners presenting the Lead categories while having Emma Stone present Best Director so maybe they're planning something similar here while Chastain presents one of the two biggest prizes.

Morieris Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I wonder how they asked people -- "So you want to present at the Oscars - Can you take a hit?" Just try slapping The Rock. See where it gets you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 I at least appreciate that it seems like they're putting a lot more effort into this year's presenters after last year's completely random roster. Shawn Mendes? DJ Khalid? Tony Hawk, Kelly Slater, Shaun White for that James Bond tribute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just try slapping The Rock. See where it gets you. I still feel a bit bad for Questlove. Almost all the winners post the slap were forgotten to some degree due to people understandably being distracted but Questlove being immediately after the slap was extra forgotten, literally no one paid attention to anything he said on that night.
