The 97th Academy Awards

[Finn]

Is anyone else watching live?

ITV already getting on my tits by not showing enough of the red carpet. And the way the panel reacted to the one of them who'd watched every film nominated like she was some sort of novelty who'd gone above and beyond

 

[Sardonicus]

Just threw it on now after finally watching last year's winner Oppenheimer

 

[Christian]

I’m watching. I might go and do something else until midnight though, I’m not sure I can take much more of this build up. Only seen Ariana, Cynth and Zoe’s dresses so far.

 

[Art Decade]

 

[Ellie]

OMG my fav dress

 

[Finn]

Zoe's is NOT a frock worthy of winning an Oscar in, IMO

I rather like Ariana's. Goodness knows how she'll sit down in it, but it's very Plumette from Beauty & the Beast

 

[Finn]

Is Jason Isaacs wearing a LIVESTRONG BRACELET? That's commitment

 

[Lucille]

Has Karla Sofia Gascon arrived yet?

 

[Finn]

I hope she'll still be able to live tweet it

 

[Finn]

Mariella Frostrup is ghastly. I like the non-famous lady though, the one who actually has watched everything

 

[Ellie]

It always irritates me when someone slags off musicals, when they would never group any other genre into some sweeping generalisation.

 

[Christian]

I guess Ariana will be getting changed to do the opening number and then have something else to slip into when she's seated.

Do we have the running order for the awards? They've done the supporting roles first in the past to get the ball rolling.

 

[Ellie]

Let’s hope no one wears anything as obnoxious as this

 

[Art Decade]

 

[Finn]

Now she's starting on The Substance. SHUT UP MARIELLA

 

[jivafox]

Screaming at this

[Finn]

Enjoyed Ross King asking Raye how she got from the Brits so quickly, not realising she wasn't there, and her being like "....?" and then talking about last year's

 

[Ellie]

Cynthia singing HOME

Ross King actually looks like the Michael Myers mask from Halloween now.

 

[Finn]

Terrific from the Wicked huns

 

[Finn]

Right now get Michelle Yeoh on to do her song

 

[Joseph]

 

[rhythmbandit]

Well this is mortifying.

 

[Finn]

I thought Conan did v well, although there is absolutely no need for Adam Sandler (or the song after)

 

[Christian]

First half of Conan was good, I agree that Sandler and the song could have got the chop.

RDJ hollering at all the nominees wasn't a great moment either.

 

[Ellie]

SO deserved for Flow to win this!

 

[Christian]

Flow for Animated Film! More upsets please

 

[Ellie]

Come on and dance with me. YEAH. FLOW.

 

[Finn]

Flow for Animated Film! More upsets please

Gurl it's been the favourite for months

PLAY OFF THESE ANIMATED SHORT WINNERS PLEASE. Talk about wasting time

 

[Christian]

Gurl they've been the favourite for months

It was close with The Wild Robot!

Anyway, yes, bin these two.

 

[Christian]

Wicked's first (only?) award incoming?

 

[Christian]

Lily Rose Depp showing the full range of her acting abilities there.

i.e. NONE

 

[Finn]

There's a lot to be said for just reading the nominees' names off a card in a list in the space of 15-20 seconds

 

[Finn]

Connie Nielsen debuting a new face, is it

 

[Christian]

There's a lot to be said for just reading the nominees' names off a card in a list in the space of 15-20 seconds

These gushing tributes are really giving me nothing.

 

[Finn]

They're giving me RAGE

 

[Finn]

Mariella liked it though, so you know it's shit

 

[Ellie]

Wicked's first (only?) award incoming?

I presume Production Design should be in the bag, no?

 

[Christian]

I presume Production Design should be in the bag, no?

Yes, the 200 million tulips!
