Star Afternoon. Star
I love the Oscars, always have. Haven't seen another thread yet. Posting this for red carpet/fashion/ceremony twaddle. Hopefully some of you will join me later Wine
First show without a host since the Snow White debacle. Disney sued. For those of you interested in that, articles here:

I think Glenn Close's Oscar is long-deserved. Wouldn't mind seeing Reg win for best supporting. Think Black Panther would be worthy enough for Best Film but not sure it will, it would have got a win in the best popular film until they binned the category. Interested whether the Guardian's doc will win and who wins best short. Is it Amy Adams's year finally? no And will Anita Dobson be watching Adam Lambert and Bryan May performing Bohemian Rhapsody on stage? Wine

BUT

my phone is stressing me to death with random incorrect autocorrects

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 25/02/2019 01:14

Are Amy/Tina/Maya surprise hosting? I've just seen a recap of them on the red carpet together.

I really dislike Charlize's dress! It looks good from the back but I don't like the front look at all!

I love Helen 😂

Well, I missed Brian May and Maya et al because Pro Sieben dicked me around for ten minutes, will have to watch that on the repeat at 6am.
Regina's dress was pretty.

I don't like if when they thank god overly

Mate, you acted in a film and got a prize, you didn't save orphans from a burning building, you haven't been bestowed with a halo

BartonHollow · 25/02/2019 01:16

No.

Just that one bit.

Rami was good, yes.

I liked Helen's dress but she clashed with Aquaman.

I do hope this isn't going to turn in to a "I must thank women and people of colour" acceptance speech free for all. Just thank the named people regardless of their sex, race or sexuality!

I love Helen MIreen's dress.

That was at the last woman talking, not the one thanking women of colour. Cannot believe there are adverts already.

What was that awkward but in their speech when it flashed to a sullen woman ? Confused

It looked much better on camera than the Guardian photo.

CoachBombay · 25/02/2019 01:27

This is so horrid and awkward....

CoachBombay · 25/02/2019 01:28

Fuck off the music is playing 😂😂

BartonHollow · 25/02/2019 01:28

If you'd got a fucking move on and been succinct your speech could've been 50% less cringe

That laugh.... "Ha....ha.....ha" bless her.

CoachBombay · 25/02/2019 01:32

I like the way her speech card matches her dress, superb planning bravo!!

Ah that's nice. Sandy powell (who was nominated twice) won't mind - she has 3 Oscars already! ( and 14 nominations - she is the Meryl Streep of costume) whereas I think that was Ruth's first.
Bloody adverts. Am off to make a brew.

They need to stop with this African American thing now...honestly she won because she is amazing at her job, her race shouldn't have to be mentioned it's 2019. And I say that as someone in mixed race relationship with a mixed race child.

I'd be angry if someone said "DS has won this, he's the first mixed race boy/man to do it" like it's a token....

Hi how are you watching it ...do i need sky ?
