Calling all Oscars fans - anyone going to be up at 2am?!

[RageAgainstTheVendingMachine]

Afternoon.
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
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?

The new Poppins left me a bit cold

Whereas the original is a film for the ages and all ages I did feel like I was watching a children's film

Phaoarrrr I love this man 🥰

That is Trevor Noah for anyone looking back 😂

I loved Three Billboards Barton. Saw it with DD (who I do sometimes have a barney with) and the point when the Mum remembers the last conversation with her daughter just fucking broke me.
And later with the deer when she says ''you ain't her''. I was silently sobbing. It was very well written.

I know I was heaving back tears at the same points

Fantastic acting

I wasn't expecting this win if I'm honest, I had it with Sam.

Ah fair play. Was hoping for a win for smiley Reg but never mind.

Sam Rockwell is one on my 'freebie list' alongside Woody Harrelson, Richard Osman, Brandon Flowers and Jeff Goldblum.
Have you seen The Way Way Back on Netflix? or Laggies? He is excellent in both.

He has been thought of as the dead cert for it from Day One

I personally found everything about Green Book very dated

Way, Way Back is brilliant

Also, Moon

Spiderman was really good, both I and DS enjoyed it 😂

Ah sorry, Laggies is called Grow up on Netflix. 7 Psychos is ace as well.

I would have given it to Richard E Grant having seen all the films including Vice

Sam Rockwell is barely even in Vice

Come dressed as Candy Floss

barton not only do we share a love of the Umbrella Academy but I suspect we also have similar taste in films

The 70's called it wants it lobby act back....

Snooze zzzzzzzz

I've already acquired a MN twin Rage - perhaps we're triplets like the three strangers

Frances 😍

Think someone has told Glenn to go for it...with gold dress and cape, Oscar's going to finish that look off beautifully

ooh, now Three Identical Strangers is a documentary I want to see, even though I know the 'twists'. It annoys the hell out of me that the research is locked up with a D-notice type thing on it.

Mike and Dana!

You have achieved "embarrassing" bravo....🙄

I still would have liked to have seen Sacha Baron Cohen's Freddie portayal/filthier version....

I've seen Late Afternoon, it was poignant.

Favourite dress : Kiki Layne

Elegance

Least :

Linda Cardellini, you're great, but what the fuck event are you attending it's the Oscars not an evening pool party hosted by Hugh Hefner in the 70s
