The audience enthusiasm is usually a good indicator of who the audience really enjoyed the most and the applause was rapturous for Yeoh.
Streep was amazing in most of those movies but not Sophie’s choice level. Eventually she would win another because it had been so long and she was nominated so many times. Maybe that will happen to Blanchett too. But it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t beehive Tar is her peak much like Sophie for MerylI'd say Streep wuzrobbed quite a few times ("Silkwood," "A Cry in the Dark," "Bridges of Madison County," "Julie and Julia" "The Devil Wears Prada") before she won her third (and probably final) Oscar for "Iron Lady," which was definitely not the greatest film, but which was 20 years(!!!) after "Sophie's Choice". I guess the Academy should have held out for her turn in "August, Osage County" where she chewed the scenery to toothpicks every bit as much as Blanchett did in "Tar?"
I believe the Academy will recognize Blanchett again, but like Streep they will probably won't be in a hurry to dole out a rare third Oscar.![]()

Frances McD didn't have to wait long to get her third Oscar. Why must Streep and Blanchett wait for 20 years for theirs?I'd say Streep wuzrobbed quite a few times ("Silkwood," "A Cry in the Dark," "Bridges of Madison County," "Julie and Julia" "The Devil Wears Prada") before she won her third (and probably final) Oscar for "Iron Lady," which was definitely not the greatest film, but which was 20 years(!!!) after "Sophie's Choice".

I didn't know she was 60. She doesn't look it at all.Sigh. Well maybe Academy voters considered that this is Yeoh's "Sophie's Choice," and, who at age 60, is not likely to get another role so powerful to exhibit her many talents in again?
To add salt to the wound, she was supposed to present Best Picture with Harrison Ford tonight but caught COVID. That would have been a moment for her.And still...Glenn Close has no Oscar.
Yes, I know.To add salt to the wound, she was supposed to present Best Picture with Harrison Ford tonight but caught COVID. That would have been a moment for her.
I guess the most we can hope for is more opportunities to see masterclasses of acting from her:Yes, I know.
I loved CTHD. It seemed like poetry to me, toward the end. I so wanted it to win the BP!I fell in love with Michelle Yeoh during Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). She made every movie/TV eps I saw her in, better. So very happy for her.
One of my favorite movies of all time still.I loved CTHD. It seemed like poetry to me, toward the end. I so wanted it to win the BP!
maybe? I found it hilarious and great, and my gf haaaaaaaaated it, which surprised me. I think you either get on board with the absurdity or don't.I have not seen EEAAO and can't really figure it out from the clips and the commercials I've seen.
I am a fan of emotional, dramatic, heroic films, so would EEAAO appeal to someone like me?
I didn't care for EEAAO at all. I couldn't focus, and all the silliness was too much for me. I am really glad I didn't pay to see it in a movie theatre.I also preferred Cate Blanchett to win tonight, but congrats to Michelle Yeoh.
Gutted for Angela Bassett though.
I just couldn't get in to EEAAO. Tbf, I watched it not long after I'd been unwell, so maybe I just wasn't in the right mood; perhaps I'll give it another go.
YesDoes this count as an Irish win for @allezfred?
I thought Frances won supporting for her second O.I put a wrong stat in my earlier post, it actually was 30 (!!!) years between Streep's two Best Actress honors.
I think Frances McDormand's 3 Oscars are all leading actress, the only other living actress with as many wins.
Nope, all three wins were for lead. Fargo; Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri; and Nomadland. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress three times though.I thought Frances won supporting for her second O.
A lot of fashion duds last night IMO, but my best dressed was Malala. That gorgeous sequinned dress with that hood? Stunning. (and a great lipstick too)
That is such a sweet picture.Close up pic with a compare and contrast with a pic of Indiana Jones and Short Round:

And to think Spielberg was nominated as well. It’s incredible.
I love this moment because it just shows you never know the impact you can have on a person when you just give them an opportunity.
IMO Cara looked fantastic. I liked Kerry's dress, but her hair looked like an afterthought (as someone else with thin, straight hair, I sympathize with the limpness, but something else could have been done). I loved the colour of Angela's but was underwhelmed by the actual design.Cara Delevigne, Angela Bassett and Kerry Condon were my best dressed. Honorable mention to Emily Blunt of the many, many white gowns this year, but I felt like she needed a banger of a statement necklace with it.
