Damn, Oppenheimer lost screenplay? Were people expecting that? 

• American Fiction -275
• Oppenheimer +250
• Barbie +600
• Poor Things +4000
• The Zone of Interest +8000

American Fiction was the betting favorite

Got it.

Yeah Oppenheimer was never favored for a screenplay win. So it's not some bad sign for the night if that's the fear.

What were the betting odds on Animated Feature? 

[Mojoguy]

Just arrived home in time to see Billie Eilish start singing What Was I Made For. As a Barbie fan talk about luck.

 

Did they really take 30 minutes to give out the first Oscar? lmao

Is anyone watching Shogun? Contemplating adding it to my Emmy watch list once it's over.

 they have given out 5 

[Webslinger]

Anatomy of a Fall and American Fiction both totally make sense as screenplay winners. Many of the other heavy hitters tonight feel more like "whole package" movies with capital-D directing and craftwork doing their share of the lifting, while those two films felt more like feats of writing than anything else, Triet's directing nomination notwithstanding. Not to say these two films aren't cinematic (because they absolutely are), but I think it's easier to point to their strength as compelling written pieces.

[CoolioD1]

wow i got this wrong. maestro didn't win for the jewface.

[WorkingonaName]

Maestro robbed.

[Webslinger]

Well, at least we know for sure that Poor Things won't be shutout tonight.

 

Edit: Of course, I say that and then it wins two in a row, lol.

Mark Coulier (the Poor Things 3-time winner) lives in my village. I play pool with him in the pub sometimes.

Not saying you should steal it, but I mean you could make a lot of money selling it online. 🤔

Think Emma is gonna win actress, Poor Things is overperforming and there following the BAFTA. 

[WittyUsername]

Two in a row for Poor Things. Not bad. I’m glad production design didn’t go to Barbie. 

Edited March 11 by WittyUsername

[filmlover]

Poor Things with two awards!

 

Maestro really is going home empty-handed after all of BCoop's efforts. I would chuckle, but its role in the Bomerssance that's upon us (and the fact he's here tonight in his first - but not last! - Oscar ceremony) makes it a "mission accomplished" for me.

[filmlover]

Cena was the surprise they were hinting at?

 

Oh good grief.

What’s John Cena so self-conscious about? People can’t see him.
