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?

Even all the pundits were like 👀 though

He's going to be in trouble for motherfucker and his other swearing on live TV in the US....Brits won't care.

Spike ❤️

ha barton I do need another brew for sure! But I will also award you Queen Of Sleb Twaddle!
gareth can you link me the article later pls - am obsessed with the triplets' story.

Well, its detractors will be pleased that Detainment lost.

I can't believe they just replayed "the look" 🙈

I genuinely though Weird Al Yankovic was walking up then as I came in to the room with my cuppa ...I'm tired lol

My sister, I love you, my parents, Bradley

Lady Gaga really thinks she can act 🤔

Think I am behind the UK now. Pleased at Spike's win. Thought Green Book's win was a bit dodgy, given the criticisms of its veracity.
Not about the winning, Gaga?! Not what the blinds say

Oh god it gets worse...a Freudian slip to add Bradley in the I love you category. 😯

Mark Ronson however is a fantastic composer and song writer and producer so glad he got his Oscar.

My sister, I love you, my parents, Bradley 

Enough said - kudos to Irina for keeping on smiling ...

Now for the In Memoriam segment. If you’ll allow me to reuse a joke from the Bafta liveblog, here’s where we will all pay our respects to Liam Neeson’s career.

Oh Stuart

You know they say she lost the Best Actress for herself by giving an identical rehearsed speech to everyone about 99 people in a room including fake tears

There's a super cut of it online

I did like Burt Reynolds

Hahaha @ the Liam joke 😏

I'm kind of done now - roll on the important ones

I do remember hearing this.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of gaga, I think she's a bit to try hardy but each to their own.

I think Rami is going to get best actor.

I ♥️ Barbara, I really do.

Complicated relationship with Gaga

Seen her twice

First time one of my best ever concerts and the second just diabolical wanted a refund

Love her music, love her most recent album

Feel like The Fame has very much affected her

Barbra....stupid autocorrect ruining my admiration.

I thought Rami's gf was meant to be a fauxmance but he sure snogged her a lot just then!

He practically wanted to drag her on stage ❤️

What a gorgeous couple. He's itching to sit down next to her again I think!
