She's 6 weeks from being 84 years old.

I actually love that she did that. Such raw emotion from a legend.

I still wasn’t prepared

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I always feel weird when certain people get extra highlighted (and applause) during the memorial section and others don’t. It seems disrespectful.

 

[genevieve]

Pedro Pascal! America’s Dad!

 

[TalentedButHumble]

For some reason, I had already gotten verklempt at Ryan Coogle'rs message to his kids, even before the in memoriams.

they really double downed on that this year. TCM still the champion of the death roll call.

 

[allezfred]

Am I being petty and cranky or was that Robert Redford tribute very…. Babs centered?

It wouldn’t have been Babs if it wasn’t.

 

[peibeck]

Pedro Pascal looks 20 years younger without that beard.

I thought the mandalorian commercial was a skit

 

[Jay42]

Is there a specific documentary short subject that is really popular this year? They don't usually get that much hype.

I did not get Train Dreams at all. So so slow.

Celebrating… Bridesmaids??!!! Hated it.

This show presentations feel very C list.

I didn’t hate it but it was very random choice for score presentation and seemed to be a time filler. Is it possible that this show isn’t long enough?

Best Original Score - Ludwig Göransson, Sinners

Ah so his fourth Oscar then
