2019 Oscars Red Carpet & Ceremony - All Awards Lead To Roma

[VGThuy]

If "Roma" ends up winning Best Picture tomorrow Trump will be declaring a national emergency on Netflix.

He'll be joined by a few industry peeps and theater chain owners.

I hope that the Netflix CEO's phone doesn't get hacked.

love the set for Bette Midler's song and her dress.

 

[Allskate]

Emily Blunt is there, and Bette Midler is singing the song that Emily sang in the movie. It must be so odd for Emily. But maybe Emily prefers not to sing it on live tv?

I couldn't decide about the dress at first, but I ended up really liking it.

 

[peibeck]

Bette has never been the greatest singer, but she knows how to interpret and get to the heart of a song like nobody's business.

I heard Emily didn't want to do it.

 

[chantilly]

Hated Bette’s dress.
I believe Emily Blunt opted not to perform.
Don’t blame her. Singing live is NOT the same as recording.
It wasn’t going to win, so why bother taking the risk.

Apparently, both Emily Blunt and John K decided to skip the Oscars. They're probably sore about A Quiet Place's snubs and her own snub for that film and Mary Poppins Returns.

Emily Blunt didn't want to do it. IIRC she didn't even think she could really sing until she did Into The Woods

This. I just listened to Emily’s version of the song and I liked Bette’s version way better. All soul.

 

[chantilly]

By the way, did anyone hear Richard E Grant mention being excited to see Barbara Streisand at the Oscars in the red carpet pre show?
Can’t find anything about it.

I saw someone talk about it on Twitter

Third Oscar for BR

 

[Vash01]

The intros to BP nominees are really good.

 

[Allskate]

Apparently, both Emily Blunt and John K decided to skip the Oscars. They're probably sore about A Quiet Place's snubs and her own snub for that film and Mary Poppins Returns.

Oh, I though I saw her in the audience earlier. If I weren't nominated, I probably wouldn't bother to go, either, even if I were invited to present. Allison Janney said she decided she would not go to the Oscars until she was nominated.

 

[peibeck]

BR is 3 for 3. Considering all the controversy, and that it wasn't really all that great, I'm stunned.

 

[chantilly]

I’m cut a....if BR wins BP. It does NOT deserve it.
But I think it’ll win the technical awards and I’m now guessing best actor but not BP.

 

[VGThuy]

Bohemian Rhapsody is going to win at least 4 out of its 5 nominations. Not bad for a movie that directed itself.

 

[once_upon]

What is with those shoulder pads? Are we back in the 80's

 

[VGThuy]

BR is 3 for 3. Considering all the controversy, and that it wasn't really all that great, I'm stunned.

Agreed, but I've already come to terms with it. Hollywood loves the movie for making nearly a billion dollars worldwide, Queen is super popular among the populace, and even Bryan Singer is getting support as he has another job lined up and with a producer going public with his full-fledged support.

 

[ballettmaus]

What is with those shoulder pads? Are we back in the 80's

I think so. Unfortunately.

 

[snoopy]

I love Sam Rockwell.

 

[chantilly]

That dress is a lovely colour and I get what the designer was trying to do, but it gets low PCS for me and it doesn’t fit Charlize.

 

[Amy L]

I haven't seen the movies he's won Oscars for, but I remember Mahershala Ali from the 4400. (sci-fi nerd)

 

[VGThuy]

I was hoping for Richard E. Grant.

 

[Vash01]

Ali won back to back Oscars, right? Soon he will compete with Nicholson and Streep for the number of Oscars won.

He was very good in that movie but I have already expressed my feelings about this award. I wanted Grant to win.

 

[Allskate]

Putting Bryan Singer aside, I still can't see BR winning Best Picture.

All the nominees who don't win for Best Lead Actor probably are going to think that maybe next time they should be submitted in the Best Supporting Actor category.

 

[peibeck]

Mahershala Ali was great, the best thing about "Green Book," but this was hardly a supporting role. Consequently, I am wuzrobbing Richard E. Grant.

Not back-to-back, but close. He won two years ago for Moonlight.
