    Who's stayin up to watch the Oscars ?

    I hope la la, la la, la la, la la Land doesn't land as many Oscars as is predicted. I love films but I abhor all musicals without exception. It couldn't possibly be as good as ppl are sayin, someone is lying. I think the academy figured that since they didn't have a huge movie blockbuster this year they would just pretend they had knowing that most folk wouldn't know whether LLL was any good or not.

    I'm not too sure about that Kimmy Kimmel presenter but I suppose he couldn't be mush worse than Seth Mac Farlane.

    How can you judge La La Land if you haven't seen it in all fairness?

    My wife and daughter went to see it and said it was way over hyped in promotions, nothing new in todays world. Have you seen it?

    The fact that it's a musical and called 'La La Land', is enough to keep me well away from it.

    Looking forward to seeing the A-list placard wavers giving away their '$100k Oscar swag bags' to the many good causes and new arrivals.

    Stopped having any interest in the Academy Awards about 35 years ago.

    How can anyone hate musicals? They've given us some timeless cinema, from Mary Poppins to The Wizard of Oz, to West Side Story or Grease or The Sound of Music!

    When I was a baba my favourite movie (apart from Who Framed Roger Rabbit) was Singin' In The Rain!

    Jodi Foster and Michael J Fox spent the day yesterday moaning about Trump, who cares? Even though Jodi wasn't a bad looking woman in her day :)

    I like walk the line but that wasn't a musical. Maybe with one exception Cat Ballou :)

    A night of political speeches and multimillionaires patting each other on the back. I think I will go to bed this year.

    So you hope a movie you haven't seen doesn't win because you don't like musicals, which means it's a bad movie?

    I'm hoping Manchester By The Sea or Moonlight win Oscars tonight. Both are far better movies than La La Land.

    Sky news presenter just now: Stars are making their way to the Oscars ceremony. The awards are expected to be dominated by la la land swipes at president Trump !

    Should be fun.

    Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. :(

    Didn't the Beatles make a musical?
