I had no idea that Michelle Yeoh is married to former Ferrari F1 boss [Jean Todt](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Todt). No reason I should have known, I guess, but it was a surprise to see him with her. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > Kerry Condon, the odds on favourite to win the Oscar tonight for Best Supporting Actress. Well, I certainly hope that you didn’t put any money down on those odds. I do love it when someone is genuinely surprised at this, which happens less and less. ---

Jamie Lee Curtis Best Supporting Actress for “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” Both actors won in their first nomination. ---

I’m happy with both of those wins, as I have fond memories of their performances in previous films. ---

Also, “Pinocchio” won Best Animated Feature. This was “Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio.” as distinct from the live action “Pinocchio” which was also a 2022 film and was apparently horrible. ---

I really thought Angela Bassett was a lock. You know, for a show constantly criticized for its length, putting in self-congratulatory musical numbers with no connection to any awards category is a bit head-scratching. ---

Nobody likes them. I don’t get it at all. Maybe the people THERE enjoy them but the audience at home does not. ---

Well, I’m halfway through EEAAO. It’s interesting, but all the slapstick kung fu is just painful to sit through. ---

I think I totally missed it, what music was done it wasn’t part of a category? ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > Jamie Lee Curtis Best Supporting Actress for “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” I thought Stephanie Hsu’s performance was the more technically impressive, but I’m thrilled for JLC. That part was just so much fun, and she nailed it.
