I consider myself a way bigger cinephile than the average person, and I've seen 6/10 BP nominees this year.

---

Saw 8 (didn't watch Dune 2 or Wicked)

Would rank them: Emilia Perez, I'm Still Here, Anora, A Complete Unknown, The Brutalist, Conclave, Nickel Boys, The Substance

What was the purpose for crawling out of Demi Moore? Pathetic.

Typical Sunday night when Entertainment is newsworthy.

It's been a quiet few weeks since SNL50

It's not that hard to figure. It's like people who root for chaos in college football or the Joker just wanting to watch the world burn.

I'm glad Kieran threw Jeremy some love cause you know that stung. Very classy.

35 minutes and surprisingly not too preachy or political. I know, a lot of show left to go…

Loving the vibes so far…

#Oscars2025 is already one of the best in years. Feels modern, of the now, and still classy.

Montage.
Huge musical medley.
Host appears in a nominated movie parody.
A+ monologue.
Adam Sandler.
Insane host-sung musical number.

I'm pleased to announce that we are back.

What does that mean?

All of the animated shorts were quite good. This was my 2nd favorite of the 5.

Shout out to the orchestra for playing Barry White & The Love Unlimited Orchestra's "Love's Theme" when going to break. I love that tune.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't immediately catch onto an industry specific acronym.

And lol at your Facebook link. lol. Facebook! Come on!

I didn't watch Wicked admittedly, but Nosferatu had amazing costumes. Rooting for it to at least get Cinematography.

That was really cool.

Well that about wraps up Best Picture.

Lololol "industry specific acronym".

It's a known thing.

And It's a pretty short list.

But now that you know, you can go back to F16 and rant about how Whoopi Goldberg from The View is one of the few that has one.

Late 80's, Sheena Easton said "I want to win a Tony, Emmy, Oscar, and Grammy and have a baby all in the same year."

She didn't get there but a lot of guys wanted to help with part of that.

Would that make it a BEGOT?

I want to thank the sex worker community

I know it's a long shot, but I wouldn't mind Ariana Grande winning. Freak show trash movie Emilia Perez can go winless for all I care.

Did you actually see the movie you hate?

What did that adapter joke mean? Twitter doesn't have it but I gather it may be a joke about Emilia Perez?

The joke was: journeys around the world ... because we all know how hard it is to find the right adapter.

I took it as electrical outlet adapter trouble for world travelers.

A bad joke told in a way that was funny

Wow, the Broccolis made Bezos pay for an entire Oscar's segment for their sendoff. Impressive.
