oscarrrrrrssss

 Sup blog I was accidentally watching the red carpet instead of the live broadcast of The Oscars. Also I think my A key is a little sticky. Yikes. Anyways I'm going to follow along and type up some live reactions. I'll never get to experience the joys of a live Twitter type thing (#permanentlybanneddontknowwhy), so this is the best I can do. If anyone happens to be reading this please sound off in the comments I love talking about movies xoxo. 

Conan's doing his whole monologue thing. I started about 6 minutes and 30 seconds in. Let me get this out of the way quickly- I did NOT care for One Battle After Another, and don't think it should win any awards, with the BIG exception of Teyana Taylor for Best Actress.

Michael B. Jordan 6 7???

I'm so over the Leo DiCaprio of it all.

This (Conan) is a Harvard trained comedian btw.

Oh my god Josh Groban????? This is great. Giving Monty Python?? Pause that was a crazy ending to his monologue. 

I LOVE Zoe's necklace. Also thinking about the stage design- I think SAG Awards had a better stage design, the screens were exceptionally integrated, and the whole thing was super clean and bright. 

Wait wasn't super expecting that. Is Amy Madigan married to Ed Harris? I LOVE how fast Teyana jumped up. I'm glad we're moving towards more proper horror representation. That IS Ed Harris! has he ever won an Oscar?like supporting or something for Truman Show maybe? Preditions: 0/1

Oh! Conan that Trump-theatre-naming joke was nice. WOW Jane Lynch! I bet she's selling the same product that Larry from Night at The Museum sold at the beginning of the sequel. 

Will Arnett and Channing Tatum is lowkey a horrible combination. I would NOT want to be stuck at a youth football game between these guys. I'd like Arco to win. Nice story- I've seen people compare it to a French Ghibli or something? Ok word KPop Demon Hunters- orchestral/rock version of Golden is lowk fire though. Wait I like the guy on the far right's coat. Okay Arnett we get it- I'm all with ya lets not freak out the audio engineers pls. I don't have any clue for animated short. I guessed 'Retirement Plan' because I liked its poster the best. Predictions: 0/3 Colm Feore! Canada!

Obviously 'I Lied to You' was going to be amazing. BRITNEY HOWARD OKAY!!!!! This feels just like the movie omg. MISTY COPELAND WOW! Honestly the live performance was more overwhelming than the film version(s)- whooooooo directed this stage performance? How many people are in the orchestra behind the stage omg

If this duo isn't presenting costumes... My guess is Frankenstein. Wouldn't be shocked if it was Sinners, it's Ruth E. Carter of course. !!!! Predictions: 1/4 THE LITTLE EDIE TO MY BIG EDIE HAHAHAHA Omg I was about to say that these costumes were super similar to 'Crimson Peak' and it was ALSO HER! Frankenstein again is my guess. I have absolutely no eye for hair and makeup. Ok word 2/5. 

Paul- that is not a blazer that is a cardigan at BEST. Also Anna wants to know why your hair is grey but you look young. I think Marty Supreme has GOT to win for casting. I'd love to be a casting agent someday- how do people even get started in that job?? Didn't love that speech... omg PTA can't believe I got an Oscar before you! Hope you get one tonight xoxo! 2/6

'It's a tie we're going to get through this together' Kumail thank you for handling this so well. I guessed 'Two People Exchanging'! Does that count for half? A whole point? I'll say 3/7 I guess. TIMMY SHADE!!

Kieran babe tuck in your wallet chain. I'm very passionate about Stellan winning this. Anna thinks that Jacob Elordi as Frankenstein looks like Gotye- specifically this pic:

Well Sean Penn really phoned that one in. Hope that isn't indicitive of a OBAA sweep. At least they're making up on time? 3/8

I bet Pedro Pascal told Chris Evans to try glasses when they were in Materialists together. They're working. It better not be OBAA. Did RDJ just say 'Tanning Chatum'. 3/9  Sentimental Value for the win on this one. Welp. Happy to be wrong on this one though- first win of the night for Sinners! Woo! 3/10. I have a lot of complicated feelings about OBAA winning for adaptation- too big of a fan of postmodern literature to let this one slide unfortunately. 

Rest in peace Tom Stoppard (thank you for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and also Brazil) and the woman who did the costumes for the original Tron, and also Diane Keaton. And also Robert Redford. I'm sorry about what's happening to Sundance. 

So I think I'm going to quickly have to come to terms with the idea of a OBAA sweep. This is difficult. The one thing that could possibly explain this is that there is just too much swag coming out of the Bay Area (looking at you, Alysa Liu). 

Pedro's glasses are distracting from the awkwardness of this bit. I think I first knew Sigourney Weaver from her role as Sigourney Weaver in 'Finding Dory'. Production Design should be Frankenstein. Finally- some normalcy. 4/11. Avatar was an easy guess. 5/12.

Honestly all of the documentaries are great choices- I'd like All the Empty Rooms. Big tears if it wins. Aw man. 6/13. I'd like to see Mr. Nobody win. That would be an interesting speech I think. Ok nice here we go 7/14.

Original Score! Should be Sinners- win #3 for Ludwig? BOOM!! 8/15. F1 or Sirat for Sound. Why not. Let's all just get crazy there's only an hour left. That was a deserved win! Cars make lots of sounds. My car sure does. 9/16.

Editing! Come on Marty Supreme. Well. Not a horrible loss. 9/17.

Cinemetography! I think Train Dreams. Still very happy with this!! This is an AWESOME!!!! OUTFIT!

BOOM BOOM BOOM JAVIER BARDEM!!!!!! THANK UUUUUUUU! I think The Secret Agent. I'd be exceptionally happy with Sentimental Value or Voice of Hind Rajab though. Excellent!! 9/18 Neon is in a solid place to become the new indie darling (a la A24) production company. Hopefully they don't get too commercial. Boots Riley's upcoming release 'We Love Boosters' will be a test of this! Very excited to watch that full campaign that Neon has promised, as well as the movie itself. Yay!

So Golden totally has to win Best Original Song, but I Lied To You was EASILY the best live performance. 10/18.

How much do you think A24 had to pay to get Zendaya and Rob to present the award for BEST FREAKIN DIRECTOR?? I would like for Joachim Trier to win this- it'll be PTA I fear. Okay fine deserved. But I think it has to be a little bit of a career Oscar you know- this certainly was nawwwwt his best. Did Fiona Apple ever date PTA? I know that there's the whole Tarantino story but I feel like there could be a similar one for him too. 

NOT in the mood for this Adrian Brody. Michael B. come on!!!!!! YAY!! Well deserved omg. 11/19. 

This is Jessie's award duhhhhhhhhh. 

Moulin Rouge reunion <3 So happy you divorced Keith Urban Nicole. Okay so my official guess is Bugonia but it could literally be anything at this point. I HOPE its not OBAA. I think I'd be happiest if it was Sentimental Value or Sinners though. 

Wow. Revisiting this after a long contemplative night. I see you, and I appreciate you PTA, but in all honestly this Oscar should've been for Magnolia. A little scared to see how the film bros take this win. Also, how did Mickey 17 or No Other Choice not get nominated for literally anything. Quite upset about that! 

I do have Boots Riley's upcoming 'I Love Boosters' to look forward to though. This is Neon's chance to prove itself!!

Ok cya later. This Oscars was interesting!
