The Oscars tonight who else is watching?

[EachandEveryone]

ITV for the first time at 2230. I hope it’s a good one. I still miss Joan live on the red carpet☹️. I’m just watching Poor Thing then I think I’ve seen most of the nominations. I hope Oppenheimer doesn’t sweep the board. I liked it but I don’t like it when one film dominates.

It was the academy rather than the studio or film makers that decided it should go under adapted rather than original (most other major awards nominated it here). It's been a bit contentious and there's talk about rule clarity for next year so it doesn't happen again.

Ah right, was that what was referenced in the speech? Interesting.

Nooo, I love her! I've loved her since Sally Sparrow.

The make up woman looks nice. I like her dress.

i like her as an actress, but I don't want her to win this. She's done much better work in my opinion.

This would be so much more interesting if they plied them all with booze during...😆

Michael Keaton is looking good!

So many good looking films. I would have given the award to any of them. I agree with you @Ramalangadingdong that this has been a great year for films overall.

Like on reality TV shows! Hahaha.

Yeah, how do you choose between them?

Michael Keaton has a baby face that has stayed remarkably babyish. I was quite fascinated by it.

Who's the naked fella?

Is that John Cena?!

I totally want Bella’s yellowish transparent waterproof cloak from Poor Things — the costume designer said it was based on the colour of a 19thc French condom.

I was just about to ask the same thing. Anybody know who he is?

Ah ok, I get that.

It'd be one in the eye for Bradley "nominate me" Cooper though.

Looks awfully like him!

Well, that was weird…

Yes
Also a Ken!

Poor things has scooped all the production awards so far, which I think is deserved.

I just hope it doesn't win for best film etc.

A lot of Brits leading design teams. This Hannah Waddington is wearing a beautiful dress.

Yeah I thought it was John Cena. I don't really know who he is except that it was a meme years ago when DS was little - "And his name is John Cena!" And then he got arrested by a repressive regime.

Ahh yes. Of course.

They soon whip them off the stage after an award.... music just starts playing 🤣. Which I guess is good!

I like him. He was in Barbie, yes - that's why they cut to Margot Robbie. Was also in Trainwreck years back. Used to be engaged to Nikki Bella before they split and she ended up with Artem.

"thank you England" for a film set in Glasgow grrrrr. Annoyed me the first time, annoys me now.

It would be great if that happened in real life. At boring meetings and suchlike.
