Academy Awards 2024 - 96th ceremony - Watch Along Thread

Iron Man has a gold man! Woohoo!

Anyone notice that the Poor Things costume designer lady had POCKETS in her gown? Give her a retail fashion contract! Normalize pockets for women!

Danny and Ahnuld were damn funny as well.

OMG! The 12-year-old-girl beaming on stage for “The Last Repair Shop” is priceless.

You could see she was thrilled she was there. She will never forget that moment.

Random thought…I’ve been wanting to watch The Holdovers, waiting for it to come on streaming, only to find out it just came on Peacock. One of the few services I don’t have :frowning: Gonna have to rent…

Yeah, I think we rented it on YouTube.

Meanwhile, if anyone wants to watch Godzilla Minus One, good luck…you can’t. Unless you’re one of those illegal movie stealers, anyway.

‘Godzilla Minus One’ Isn’t Streaming or in Theaters: Here’s Why (indiewire.com)

You might still be able to watch The Holdovers on Peacock. I don’t pay for the service (though Xfinity is my cable provider and I may get a free low-end subscription?) and have watched several movies there. They start with several minutes of commercials and then run uninterrupted.

I’ll never understand this. Everyone is leaving money on the table. Now is the time to cash in.

Instead they will all mess around asking for too much or other things and it never happens. And then none of them make money and none of us get to see the movie (I did in the theaters…I mean for those at home).

If there is sense to be made of this I don’t see it.

“I’m Just Ken” was fucking magnificent.

If the votes weren’t already in that would have to win fer sure.

He got screwed out of his award, but Ryan Gosling had the best Oscar moment of the night.

I can hardly imagine a film more worthy of “Best Cinematography” than Christopher Nolan’s IMAX blockbuster!

I’m not watching the Oscars but getting updates from CNN. Happy to see that Poor Things is on a roll with three Oscars so far. Oppenheimer is doing well, too, but it’s a favourite in so many categories.

No surprise that Zone of Interest won Best International Feature and also Best Sound – sound was such a crucial element of that film.

I’m impressed they got those other Kens to show up. They are all very famous dudes!

Good tip! I just checked and I need a subscription. I can catch Kung Fu Panda (the original) for free tho!

I’m not disappointed at all. I walked out of the theater feeling he was deserved lock. Krumholtz was good but his character was pretty much one note. Downey’s character was close to a leading role and was a journey.

John Mulaney is a treasure.

So far there hasn’t been any big upsets indicating potential momentum for Poor Things or Oppenheimer for the Big Four. Score had Oppenheimer as the heavy favorite, so no surprise there.

I am faaaar from a person who comments on people’s dress but…Ariana Grande’s dress was a bit much.

I was wondering if it’s even possible to sit down in that thing. (And I really hope she used the bathroom before wearing it.)

I was hoping for a posthumous Oscar for Robbie Robertson but I knew it wasn’t going to happen.
