    They really could knock about 45 mins off the Oscars if they done away with the ad breaks.

    I'd have given Val Kilmer a supporting actor nom for his brief but important poignant role in Top Gun Maverick

    I knew what I was letting myself in for, but it really does go on and on and on and on…

    There all millionaires who could be on a boost of some sort

    I'm guessing Hollywood has a 'day off' tomorrow for hangovers etc

    Everything Everywhere All at Once looking like the clear winner tonight. Banshees will do well to take another award.

    Hope Brendan Fraser or Colin Farrell take best actor though.

    I thought the movie was good but I didn't come away from watching Everything, Everywhere... thinking it was worth all of these accolades. They seem likeable people at least so there is that.

    Delighted Everything, Everywhere... won big. Was it a perfect film? No, not even close: but it was imaginative, madcap, heartfelt, chaotically optimistic, and a bit of a mess - but in all the right ways. It wasn't a "safe" Oscar winner - that might have been The Fabelmans from the Best Picture nominees - but sometimes the Oscars really does get it right, noticing an obvious frontrunner in terms of mainstream cinema.

    Puts a lot on the shoulders of the Daniels now though; as the Blank Check podcast opines, EEaaO is now the Guarantor, the next film (presumably) the open chequebook.

    OK; I love me some sci-fi, martial arts, absurdism, and Michelle Yeoh but can someone please explain how Everything is so fantastic?

    It was alright at best and a rushed mess at worst

    Clearly the shunning of Banshee's is a continuance of the historical repression of the Irish people, and speaks to the core of the systemic racism of the Oscars.

    If we all pile onto that bandwagon we will likely get our own category next year!!

    After all the hype and praise of banshees particularly from RTÉ I watched it and for the life of me I couldn’t understand all the huge acclaim the Irish media were lavishing on it.

    a big budget episode of killinascully sums it up.

    They're pandering to China. China is a huge market for Hollywood and they use that to throw their weight around, get movies edited to their liking etc. The Communist party ordered a broadcast ban on Oscars broadcast for two years running, this years Oscars is a very obvious (and over-the-top) response to placate them.
