2016 Oscar Watch-along thread (includes nominations and show order)

I thought Chris Rock did a good job. The new order of presenting the awards is a major change, but it makes sense.

tired of the racism already

Yeah me too

I know it’s Sarah Silverman’s shtick, but her intro was a little uncomfortably raunchy for so early in the evening. There are families watching, Sarah…

Also, tired of the black jokes now.

I think we’ve covered the all white nominee situation more than enough.

Please, no more.

And Chris Rock’s opening was a bit disappointing (perhaps my expectations were too high).
mmm
ETA: Kevin Hart sure seemed to be enjoying himself.

I wish Alicia Vikander had been nominated for Ex Machina. That was an astonishing film.

SO we go to actor awards throwing the “order in which film stuff is done” concept out the window less than an hour in.

I’m so happy for Alicia! I’ve loved her for years and I’m thrilled she’s getting recognition now. And whoo, The Big Short!

Sandy Powell vs Sandy Powell?

I mean, technically, this stuff happens at the same time.

Also wouldn’t the director be close to the front of the show since they’re chosen pretty quickly?

I really get the impression that she did NOT think she was going to win.

Still, “What a lovely day!” Mad Max gets the Oscar for costume design.
… And Mad Max gets the Oscar also for Production/Set Design.

Two in a row!

Go Mad Max!

Mad Max was horrible, how it is winning?

Mad Max for Makeup too!

Other people disagree?

Three in a ROW!

Wow, Mad Max is a juggernaut!

Want to hear Margot Robbie say “Now fuck off”

Hooray for Mad Max!

Lol i guess so
