SO glad the Irishman got all that it deserved.
So much better than the Irishman. Better than Ford v Ferrari and A Marriage Story too. It was darn near a masterpiece imo. Everyone in my family- with vastly disparate taste in movies- loved it. It’s the first foreign language film my husband has ever managed to sit through and the first to ever win best picture.
I really enjoyed the Oscar’s tonight overall. Got some movies to see.
Little tibit. I went to school with Jerry Bass that cowrote and produced emminan song and his first few albums… He was the kid in high school that had the band that played at dances… Lol…
Joaquin Phoenix - didn’t realize he is anxiety strung… Read about it after. Nice to bring a quote in from his deceased brother River…
Loved the performance of the singer from Stand Up. Loved the speech from the director from Parasite. Very touching and classy talking about the other directors.
I actually loved the opening number and thought Will Farrel and JLDreyfus were funny.
Billie Ellish killed it… Will be interesting what her next album will be
^Billie is doing the theme song for the next James Bond film. Can’t wait to hear it. She says she and her brother have already written it.
Just read that… Should be interesting…
I did think it was a good Oscar night. They kept it entertaining and moving along.
I still don’t get why “Parasite” is good enough to win both the Best International Feature Film and The Best Picture. As a Korean-American, I cannot be happier and prouder by the fact that the film shattered the Oscar’s 92 year history tonight. Even more astounding is that fact that – as far as I know – no Korean film has ever even been nominated for any Oscars before this. I’m thrilled and happy tonight, no doubt. But what is it that I’m not seeing in spite of watching the film twice? I thought “Parasite” was original, unique and interesting, but I liked some of Bong’s other films much better, such as “Mother” and “Memories of Murder.” His “The Host” was entertaining, but his “Okja” and “Snowpiercer” made me fall asleep so I never got to finish watching them. In recent weeks, I even read several film critics’ analytical articles that attempted to explain why “Parasite” is such a great film, but none of them really explained the magic to me. I spoke to all of my fellow Korean-American friends about the film, and they all, too, just shrug their shoulders with not a single person in favor of the film.
I read somewhere that “Parasite” is a “directors’ film,” that is, something that other directors and film experts could really appreciate. For non-Koreans who are not familiar with other Korean films and dramas, it perhaps brings novelty to their senses. For Koreans who are used to watching Korean dramas each evening with the same old theme of the class warfare between the haves and the have nots running through just about 90% of them over the past several decades of the Korean drama productions, we just yawn. To be fair, some of these are excellent classics and not necessarily a mindless thematic regurgitation. Still, the same old theme has been beaten to death already over the past several decades for the Korean audiences. Perhaps this is the reason why the film doesn’t really excite me and my fellow Korean friends as much as it does to others. But while I’m not going to drink tonight until tomorrow morning, I’m still thrilled and happy that a Korean film garnered so much honor and recognition tonight for the first time in the Oscars history.
I didn’t see all the other actresses’ performances, so take this with a grain of salt…
I thought Renee’s performance was so affected, it drove me nuts. I was aware every minute that “okay, she’s going for the Oscar for this.” In my opinion, you are supposed to forget that you are watching a movie and instead feel you are watching real life in the moment. If I’m aware every second that I’m watching an actress perform, than I feel it’s a failure.
Her performance annoyed me so much that I ended up turning the movie off before it finished. I just couldn’t stand one more minute of her. Honestly, I thought the majority of the credit for this “authentic portrayal” should go not to Renee, but to the hair/makeup/costume team.
But clearly I must be in the minority, lol…
I didn’t even watch the movie, because I had heard the above from many people…I just don’t like Renee enough to want to sit thru that.
I just can’t watch any more of Renee’s movies after all the cosmetic surgery she had. It makes me sad. 
Renee’s eyes don’t seem to open…
Luke Perry and Cameron Boyce got left off the Memorial. Also Allee Willis, but she was a songwriter, so was remembered elsewhere.
No plastic surgery https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2019/09/03/renee-zellweger-reveals-why-she-took-years-long-break-acting/2197619001/
Couldn’t find anything to confirm it. I thought her performance was wonderful. The acting alone is hard to do but nailing Judy Garland and not and not trying to do an impression of her per se takes skill. Watch a Judy Garland movie or clips and you might have a better view of what she really pulled off.
It’s funny… Years ago when Mouline Rouge won I watch it but didn’t get it. Nothing about it clicked with me. My wife and the rest of the world seemed to love it… Lol…
After @Nrdsb4 's comment, there is no way I’m going to watch the Judy Garland movie. I can tell I would be so irritated! Glad 1917 didn’t get best picture, because it was a very linear, predictable plot, with no character development, felt like I was watching a video game. Then again, I haven’t seen Parasite or Marriage Story, but they sound worth watching.
I don’t know, I just don’t buy it. Renee’s appearance changed SO radically. I don’t see any explanation given for that.
Could it just be that she aged and lost weight? She used to be very round faced, but losing weight and aging can really change the look of your face. She also looks like she got very fit.
Her face is just so PINCHED. I can’t imagine losing weight would be responsible for that. Oh, well, I shouldn’t judge - not my business.
With Marriage Story I started to watch with my wife. I lasted 30 minutes. I really wanted to watch it but the acting was so dry and most likely on purpose. I just wasn’t in the mood for it and I rarely don’t watch a full movie. Others loved the acting and movie
We saw Renée Zellweger in Judy, and her performance was painful to watch. If we had not been sitting in a movie theater, we would have turned it off. Agree with all the comments above, especially about the plastic surgery.
Aging is cruel - some ages gracefully, some not. Be gentle.
I saw Brat Pitt interview right before the show and he didn’t look that great either, the sloppy hair cut didn’t help. His speech was a little slurred… Then Leonardo came on, you can see the lines under his eyes but he looked good. But his speech was clear, and the clean look really helped. IDK my heart ached just a little, for them and for all of us.
