8:00: Misterrogers? Oookay. I like that they cut first to Tom Hanks for a reaction.
8:04: They’re going to celebrate all the women directors in a year where no women were nominated for directing? Seriously? I can guarantee you I’m not going to be the only person pointing out THAT discrepancy.
8:06: Not a bad opening, although I agree with Caroline: nothing is going to top the Neil Patrick Harris Tony opening from several years ago.
8:12: See, that was the problem with “Beautiful Day.” Misterrogers was a supporting character.
8:15: And we hit the ground running with political commentary. You know what? Screw it. If you have a pulpit, you might as well use it. I’m sick of sticking to the GOP rulers about when and how we can smack talk the government.
8:23: As a Disney employee, I have to be happy for TS4 winning. As a fan, I have to admit I was rooting for Dragon. Ah well.
8:25: I haven’t seen “Hair Love” but Kath and Caroline both saw it and loved it, so they’re happy.
8:31: Holy crap, this rendition of “Into the Unknown” may be the best song performance I’ve ever seen in the Oscars.
8:37: Why is Diane Keaton dressed like she’s waiting for a bus? what am I missing?
8:42: When Shana went to a drama camp called Usdan decades ago, there was this one girl attending that she couldn’t stand. She said, “She acts like she’s going to be a movie star!” That girl is currently standing on the stage at the Oscars.
8:46: I was rooting for Joker, but Jojo really was a terrific film.
8:50: Boy, I’m striking out. I was rooting for 1917. Nothing I’m pulling for is winning. Since I’m actively rooting against The Irishman for best film, it’s probably a lock.
8:52: Kath called it. Period pieces usually have an advantage in this category.
9:02: A song with no intro at all? What the hëll film is this from?
9:12: I’m assuming that poor woman has cancer because her eyebrow are drawn on.
9:16: Come on, Scarlet Johansson.
9:18: Son of a bìŧçh.
9:30: Right. Sure. This song is right up there with “Eye of the Tiger” and “Don’t You Forget About me.” Suuuure it is.
9:32: oooo, Scorsese does NOT look impressed.
9:43: I’m still here. I just didn’t care about any of the categories.
9:43: I honestly don’t remember this song from TS4. Not up there with “Friend Like Me,” certainly.
9:49: This guy is kind of entertaining, I guess, but I’ve no clue why he’s there or what purpose he serves.
9:51: Come on Joker.
9:52: Son of a BÍTÇH.
9:55: Well, it wasn’t the Irishman, so I’m satisfied with that.
10:00: I am Spartacus. Very nice.
10:06: So since I don’t care about this song, I just took the time to watch “Hair Love.” What a charming short animated film. It’s on Youtube. Go see it.
10;07: Hard to believe the very first Academy awards ceremony took fifteen minutes. True story.
10:12: Okay that took nerve. Brilliant. Just brilliant.
10:13: Come on Endgame1
10!:14: Son OF A BÍTÇH.
10:27: Boy it’s a hëll of a night for South Korea.
10:40: I’m wracking my brains and I can’t recall ever seeing a female conductor. Ever.
10:42: FINALLY Joker won something. Huzzah.
10:47: Well, I was rooting for “Into the Unknown” but John’s been trying to get this film made for two decades, so I can’t really begrudge him.
10:52: Jesus, maybe I should go see this film.
11:04: Dare I say it…come on Joker.
11:05: Son of a–oh. Never mind.
11:10: That was a terrific speech.
11:11: You know, I wonder if they should have best male and female director. I mean, they have actor and actress. That would solve the problem, I guess.
11:13: Well, I was rooting for Scarlett, but Rene was really terrific in Judy.
11:25: Okay, that’s it, I’m going to see Parasite.
