although i also admire the commitment of sci fi master steven spielberg in actually casting an almost-fully-functioning android as tony in WSS. once they finish downloading all his patches and updates it should be a good performance.

Finally saw all the movies (finished Drive My Car) last night. Enjoyed The Lost Daughter more than any of them.

Brutally Honest Oscar voter returns!
You know, like the classic movies of the past? And this year, the answer was none. I didn’t even rank six of them. I hated the [The Power of the] Dog movie, except for its cinematography. It was so predictable and not subtle — you knew right away that Benedict Cumberbatch was a latent homosexual, the brother was a wimp, and the son was a little demented — unlike Brokeback Mountain, where the characters were so finely developed and interesting. In a way, I understood what Sam Elliott meant. I didn’t like West Side Story, which I call “Woke Side Story.” Individual pieces of the puzzle worked — I don’t think there was a bad performance — but the puzzle pieces don’t connect together.

Really hope the last-minute Penelope Cruz buzz (which I've heard the VF crew also talk about) comes true.

KIng Richard is basically the same shit as CODA, but at least CODA isn't a hagiography that expects the audience to applaud every reckless and irresponsible decision its hero makes on behalf of his family, secure in the knowledge that it all works out in the end.

this telecast is a fucking shitshow, so bad, and it's aboslutely the fault of the direction. The sound is beyond bad, there is so much ambient noise you can barely hear anyone on stage. the set is awful. deciding to cut out Elaine May and Sam Jackson and do that on Friday, give some awards off screen then edit them into the livecast, but make us suffer through some of the idiotic shit they are doing....wtf.

this didn't appear to be staged, it wasn't a hard hit, but it was inexcusable and if Smith wins an award later they should frankly withhold it. Will Smith and his wife are fucking nutsos

I recall when Sasha BC fell on Eminem that one time at the MTV awards it looked plenty real. Turned out not to be. Tbf this looked much more real but.. weird gags aren’t unheard of at these things.

The people who hated last years show sure got what they wanted this year - an extremely long nonsensical show that was somehow both boring and a chaotic trainwreck

this was kind of a disaster. they cut out 8 awards and still ended up with a 3h45m show. 3 hosts and every celebrity ever as presenters, why did they think that would work?

Honestly even with the Will Smith bit, the Liza bit might actually have been the lowest point for me. Hearing her moan “I don’t understand” while shuffling her notecards obviously stressed, upset, and panicking was heartbreaking and excruciating to watch, appallingly poor taste imho.

Yeah, reminded me a bit of Kirk Douglas' final appearance. I understand why they want to pay tribute to living legends, but live TV is a tough setting.

Hilarious to me that with the multiple somber references to "all the violence going on in the world today", the only references to the actual unhinged violence that took place were a couple winking little 'aint he a stinker' headpats. "We cannot allow a madman to perpetrate acts of irrational aggression and be allowed to get away with it just because he's wealthy and powerful, therefore the world turns a blind eye. And also, congratulations to my friend Will for his radical act of love tonight."
