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."

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

With Will Smith's #Oscars win last night, he now becomes the 17th actor from the 74th Oscar acting class to win an Oscar. 2001 has the highest winning percentage in at least the last 30 years.Only three nominees remain Oscarless: Tom Wilkinson, Ethan Hawke, & Ian McKellen. pic.twitter.com/AtfuTahB5v— Nicol 🌸 (@nikowl) March 28, 2022

the performances from the deaf actors elevate it more than it probably deserves to be elevated. i liked richard brody's take on it (tho i liked the movie more than him) where the characters in the film overcome obstacles so easily that it makes you think of how much harder existence can be for disabled people in the real world

xp, that's interesting, i think 2001 is probably the first year i was aware of the oscars happening. i think i can credit/blame that to my entertainment weekly subscription and the involvement of the lord of the rings.

we warched coda last night & it felt like an extended “very special episode” of Degrassi Junior Highlike, not as a takedown bc i did love Degrassi… but it was just so much more slight & clichéd than i expected. i love the scene where she sings for her dad, and sings & signs for her family, and i love marlee matlin always. but overall it was just kinda there & sort of bland. it felt more like The Fault in Our Stars or something
