Wikipedia does too but you have to refresh after each one and then find the award on the list. ---

Man, they screwed up sound more than once in this show. Who is directing this live show? Pay attention, make fixes. ---

Best documentary short goes to All the Empty Rooms. There are short documentaries? And that’s even a category? ---

Best documentary feature film goes to Mr Nobody Against Putin. Jimmy Kimmel made a really funny joke by the way, about “he’s going to be mad that his wife wasn’t up for this award.” ---

Just to clarify, there used to be sound mixing and sound editing, they combined them a few years ago into just ‘sound’. ---

I was wondering why editing was not part of it anymore, I thought they were just shortening it, thank you for clarifying. ---

So far, there haven’t been many upsets, and in those, the winner has been the second on the odds sites. F1 was a heavy favorite in Sound. ---

I’ve only gotten 2 and a 1/2 wrong, because I picked Two People Exchanging Saliva. So I guess I get a half point! 😁 ---
