There's nothing embarrassing about that Jack Palance acceptance, it's great

They didn’t, too niche i expect.
Faulty memory. I looked at the clip, and not nearly as incendiary as my 45-year-old memory of it. I thought there was loud booing, like with Michael Moore. Not at all; the crowd sounds quite on their side. I think, later, there may have been someone speak disparagingly from the stage about Schneider--Bob Hope or John Wayne?--but I'm not sure.

Canned laughter?? taking a cue from the Brits there.
Isn't best supporting actor usually first?

this was always going to be awkward and boring but they've really outdone themselves!

That 'talking to the nominees from the stage' thing sucked ten years ago, God knows who thought they should revive it.

Those introductions from Laura Dern to the supporting actors! Is that what you are referring to? Every acceptance speech other than Zhao's has been ridiculously long too.
― Cocteau Twinks (jed_), Monday, 26 April 2021 01:11 (three years ago) link
Sorry, I'm only half watching but thanks for the link-up, piscesx.
― Cocteau Twinks (jed_), Monday, 26 April 2021 01:12 (three years ago) link
I liked that they presented the best director award so close to the beginning, Chloe Zhao totally deserved it and she gave an admirably short acceptance speech

i started this half and hour or so late so i could ffwd through commercials and endless sanctimony and boring shit i'm already out of buffer

Denzel Washington and Laura Dern don't either.

Laura looked gorgeous. Have we had best supporting actress?
― Cocteau Twinks (jed_), Monday, 26 April 2021 01:24 (three years ago) link
i don't think so

Woah that Octopus film looks great. That's a sentence i never thought i'd write.
xp No Supporting Actress yet.

If Glenn Close doesn't win she makes history as the most nominated actor *ever* to not win.

Peter O'Toole will join her for a drink.

re Octopus it's nice, I liked it a lot and there is a lot of beautiful underwater photography but the anthropomorphizing is kind over the top

they should let youn yuh-jong do the rest of the speeches

Love that Harrison Ford read the blade runner notes

Anyone else think Sound of Metal will win best picture?
― Cocteau Twinks (jed_), Monday, 26 April 2021 02:20 (three years ago) link
Blade runner was one of the first movies where ford didn't even try to act and just read off his lines. It needed different cuts to work around his shit performance.

Didn't need a speech about tolerance from the gay homophobe. Especially not one decrying intolerance towards cops.

Glenn Close's monologue on "Da Butt" is her most moving screen performance since 1988.

Just imagine, if we hadn't had the Questlove music quiz come of these dead people may have got more than a fraction of a second of commemoration. Some of them disappeared so fast you didn't have the chance to read the name.

what? best picture now?

who's the 'gay homophobe'?
― piscesx, Monday, 26 April 2021 03:09 (three years ago) link
Tyler Perry, allegedly.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 26 April 2021 03:10 (three years ago) link
this is a fucking mess of a production. the sound is terrible. no clips? what was that ten minute torturous guess if the song won an oscar game? Questlove's DJing is bad, bad, bad, utterly context-free songs from 'movies' disconnected from everything...
― akm, Monday, 26 April 2021 03:11 (three years ago) link
in memorium rushed through with an upbeat stevie wonder song, with only Boseman and Connery getting more than a fraction of a second

Glen Close dropping knowledge about da butt was the highlight of the show, fuiud
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Monday, 26 April 2021 03:19 (three years ago) link
they ended it with actress and actor just because they thought boseman was a lock. good moment nonetheless.
― wasdnuos (abanana), Monday, 26 April 2021 03:20 (three years ago) link
So...Boseman doesn't get the tribute he deserves, Hopkins doesn't get the kudos that courtesy demands, and the ceremony just wilts
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 26 April 2021 03:25 (three years ago) link
pitiful. apparently steven soderbergh was the mastermind behind this.
― Cocteau Twinks (jed_), Monday, 26 April 2021 03:29 (three years ago) link
thought the surprises in best actress and best actor at the end were worth hsnging around for though. and Frances McDormands' howl. don't remember a year like this
― Dan S, Monday, 26 April 2021 03:34 (three years ago) link
boseman is dead, hopkins wasn't interested in attending, and the voters voted. having it last was a mistake but otherwise what are you gonna do.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 26 April 2021 03:35 (three years ago) link
i think soderbergh made a valiant attempt to sort of human scale the ceremony and i certainly didn't miss the endless clips, prerecorded bits, comedians, and song performances. i think he wanted to make it about people talking about movies, and have the presenters be in dialog with the nominees in some capacity. i'm not going to tell you it worked but at the same time this show is subjected to withering criticism every single year and i don't have the slightest idea what people actually want it to be.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 26 April 2021 03:42 (three years ago) link
idk the specific reasons Hopkins chose not to attend but an 83y/o choosing not to attend a 4hr indoor event with hundreds of maskless attendees & crew is not unreasonable imo. Not his fault he actually won.

Those introductions from Laura Dern to the supporting actors!
no clips
The reasoning of "weird year, we all related to movies differently, let's tell you how moviemakers relate to movies with actual personal anecdotes" was a good move. it is a weird year! (TWO years!) clips rarely tell you jack shit and are especially selected by a tone-deaf Oscar computer that's been left on too long!
Oscar trivia game was a GREAT idea, terribly executed (except for Close) (#justice4DaButt)
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Monday, 26 April 2021 03:47 (three years ago) link
Yeah I don’t see how this was a debacle. No songs, no pointless bullshit, only one brief comedy bit, felt very lean and mean to me, wouldn’t mind if it was like this every year.
