I said all I needed to say on the Oscars yesterday at this link when I shared my ranking of the Best Picture nominees -- now I'm just saying goodbye for the Oscar Weekend, saying "See you on the other side." One of the above two fellows will probably be cradling a golden man in their strong arms come Sunday night -- y'all know who I'm rooting for but whatever will be will be. And so be it! That said my hypocrisy keeps on keeping on because have no doubt I'll be posting about the show on Bluesky as it happens, so if you do want to see me get disgruntled in real time make sure to follow me there. For some people watching me get annoyed is the real entertainment! I'll take it. Have a good weekend, stay safe and stay as sane as is possible in the year 2026. And in summation... I can't say I'd be furious if Wagner sneaked in and pulled it out (so to speak, ahem)...
Remember that time, a few years ago, when designers were slapping harnesses on everyone? WTF was that?
ReplyDeleteI love that while the Oscars broadcast is on, TCM will be showing “The Oscar” and “The Bad and the Beautiful”!
ReplyDeleteHistory is made: "Sinners" lost 12 Oscars, beating the 11 noms/11 losses for "The Colour Purple"! Speaking of losers, did anyone read the NYT guest essay today, headlined: "Wasn’t Timothée Chalamet Supposed to Be a New Kind of Leading Man"?
ReplyDeleteOnce again, a ceremony for virtue signaling at its most predictable and boring. Here is to Amy Madigan, though.
