Think you mean Kimmel. Agree that he’s really good at this gig, but it will forever tilt me when they cut off a speech to have the host immediately go to a bit. They clearly don’t care that the show goes long, so let everyone have their time ffs
derp
No major complaints about the winners, which is something I rarely say.
My biggest objection would be that Argentina, 1985 should have won best International Film over All Quiet, but I knew that was hopeless.
Happy for all the acting winners.

I can’t remember the last time a movie came out in early spring and cleaned up this much at the Oscars.
I always forget the “TURN YOUR KEY SIR!” guy in WarGames was Michael Madsen.
I once partied all night with Dabney Coleman at an underground speakeasy in LA. He was hilarious and over 70 at the time. National Treasure.
1983 was so fucking fun. $5 and I could entertain myself for hours in the arcade.
Most underrated snippet: Dad butters the hell out of a piece of bread then uses it to butter his corn on the cob. 10 million Americans go “Why didn’t I think of that?”
Matthew Broderick just got his ship killed in Galaga and then they acted like the game was over. BUT HE HAD THREE GUYS LEFT! Now I’m mad.

Ticket to Paris - $1,235. That hasn’t changed much.
When I saw it in theaters, I thought: that actually my be good for an Oscar nod but there is no way it holds through the entire awards season push.
This dude was fantastic in the couple of Columbo episodes he was in. It’s hard to find more good things to say about Columbo, but they really gave some space to terrific character actors.
Question, so the smoking Indian woman who introduced this song stated something like it was either the first Indian song or the first song from an Indian production to be nominated for an Oscar.
Did they just memory hole Slumdog Millionaire? AR Rachman won for Best Original Song and Best Score. Or is that not actually an “Indian” picture because Danny Boyle directed it?
Also when did they combine Sound Mixing and Sound Editing into “Best Sound?” I have been thinking it should have been one category for a long time since it seems like the same films always get nominated for both, but OTOH when that doesn’t happen, it seems like having one category kinda screws some people out of a chance that they used to have at a statue.
Slumdog Millionaire was a 100% British production.
This was the third Oscars since the change.

I am beyond excited imagining whatever he chooses as his next role. His ability to shift between completely different identities IN THE SAME SHOT was unparalleled in EEAAO. Get him back on stage next year. Have Disney put him into ten seasons of Short Round Secretly Saves Indy.
