There's nothing like the Oscars thread to bring me out of my mostly work-induced posting hiatus! 

 

Like the last few years, I have seen basically all the movies (though it took a while to round out the Picture lineup with The Zone of Interest since it didn't play in my area) but have only taken cursory looks at precursors and predictions. Weirdly kinda makes the season more fun and less exhausting.

I don't think I've ever live posted in an Oscars thread before.  2023 was a great year for film or at least films that I personally enjoyed.  Good luck to everyone.  

[filmlover]

And here we go! Have a great night everyone (I already know I am ).

Shout out to putting Zone of Interest in the movie magic montage. 

[filmlover]

I need a gif of Spielberg's reaction right now.

[Webslinger]

The monologue was solid - some laughs, relatively few groaners, and a few stellar points made. I've come to enjoy Kimmel as a host in his gigs thus far.

[WorkingonaName]

First time half of this room has seen working class people. 

[lorddemaxus]

This is the first time since I started following the Oscars that my favourite film of the year is going to sweep the ceremony (I guess Mad Max Fury Road kinda counts too) but I still don't give a shit about watching this lol. 

[filmlover]

Even though it adds to the show, I do love this idea of bringing back previous winners.

[MysteryMovieMogul]

I absolutely hate this new Big Six Awards format. 

[CoolioD1]

oh noooo they're doing that thing where they give a little monologue for all the nominees instead of just showing a clip. 

[Morieris]

Oh lord we do not need individual people giving monologues about the above line nominees. Smaller pictures that wouldn't get the attention I get but not this.

 

We're gonna be here all damn night.

[WorkingonaName]

This gimmick is stupid, actors don't need more ego boosting. 

[filmlover]

So happy for Randolph.

[Avatree]

This is cringe. 

[Webslinger]

I get why some viewers like the format, but I'll always prefer seeing clips that actually showcase the strengths of these performances instead of other people just talking about them.

 

Da'Vine Joy Randolph's speech was beautiful. A predictable but wholly deserved win with how great she was in The Holdovers.

[filmlover]

Phenomenal speech. I hope she continues to get great offers after this as she deserves.

[Johnny Tran]

I didn't mind the intros but I'd prefer to watch a clip from the damn movies. 

[The Wild Eric]

Did Da’Vine say thank you to Barbara Broccoli?
