[@thefilmeffect6089]

[@tofucourier]

If that's the case, studios would be more encouraged to do crazier and more dangerous stunts. But that's not a good thing since then its putting peoples lives at a much higher risk for an award. Its been a topic for a very long time, you'll find multiple articles on the subject and their reasoning.

As much as I think TikTok is rotting brains, the oscars needs to learn a few lessons from it. Show. More. Clips. Best Editing? Each category should a one minute montage of all the nominees, ilistrating how much work goes into perfecting the craft. Sound, editing, VFX, cinematography, production design - do every single one. It would be so much more engaging for people to actually SEE the work being done, and to see the little things they would never know goes into making a film work. I don't get why this isn't being done more, especially with the Academy trying to appease to young people.

[@dasmysteryman12]

I have to agree that, even though not showing the clips made for a smoother ceremony this year, it would add more to the celebration of the crafts.

Godzilla Minus One winning for visual effects was my favorite win of the night.

[@Orcaluv26]

They deserved it. A film with that budget making visuals that absolutely shame most of the ones produced by movies with ten times the budget at least is unreal. Then there is the seventy year history of the franchise and this was their first win!

[@eliasfigarzon9813]

Indeed it is, but the movie should have been nominated for another 8 or 9 categories and objectively speaking win in 6 of these including best picture. But we all know how Hollywood, the academy and these awards tend to work, this movie along with the most recent dune part 2 are what the future of cinema should be or rather is if you know what you want to make.

yes, the speeches themselves were mixed and often unsubstantial BUT I love the recognition given to all the nominees, and it seemed like the nominees enjoyed getting attention and appreciation. I think there should be more of this going forward actually a place to shine for all the nominees for their work. For example, appreciation for Lily and Emma could be given while still having a winner.

[@mellow3995]

John Mulaney was so fucking funny, and goddamn I did not like how Al Pacino announced the Best Picture, it sounds like he wandered out of the pub or a care home, negative suspence.

At that point I was tired and ready to go to sleep, plus they had been showing clips from the Best Picture nominees all night so it doesn’t bother me. What does bother me is Kimmel’s opening monologue being near 30 minutes long, his treatment of RDJ, and his stupid Trump joke at the end. Like can we just keep politics out of these ceremonies? It’s a celebration of film, I don’t care what some two-bit politician has to say on social media.

[@eliasfigarzon9813]

Agreed, that is the category where kotfm should had won. Many movies got subbed by the academy this year and really showed its bias towards Oppenheimer, that while it is a good movie it shouldn't have won in all of these categories. Godzilla minus one is the best example what I'm saying, the movie should have been nominated for another 8 or 9 categories and objectively speaking win in 6 of these, including best picture just because of how much of an achievement it is. But we all know how Hollywood, the academy and these awards tend to work, so yeah lol.

[@Angers98]

I was genuinely susprised how many of these were first time winners (Nolan, Downey Jr). I thought so many of these people would have won over the years, but just goes to show that amazing actors & directors can often be overlooked despite how well liked they are! As a Ukrainian, I wept after 20 Days in Mariupol won and that speech was an incredibly powerful moment that was much needed halfway through the Oscars.

[@OddOneOut665]

Kimmel was more Jaded this year than he was before. I dont know if its cuz hes getting older, but he's the kind of person who tells you he enjoys something, only to straight up lie to you in front of other people about it. They need to either beg for Seth MacFarlane back or get John Mulaney as Host, like you said. Also, no comment on Godzilla Minus One winning Best VFX????

[@mhawang8204]

The year MacFarlane hosted was not good. His sense of humour is too juvenile and I don’t see him actually enjoying the movies. The reason hosts like Billy Crystal or Whoopi Goldberg did so well was they are actually movie fans. You’ve got to roast the thing with love to engage the audience, who tune in because they care about the art of filmmaking.

i am so sad that asteroid city didn’t get any nominations at all it felt like a snub since that movie is highly underrated and one of my favorite wes anderson movies but the wonderful story of henry sugar winning was great.

[@thrawncaedusl717]

Part of me does wonder if that has anything to do with Wes not being there. I know some fans think the Short nomination was beneath him (I’ve heard it described as more for up-and-coming talent), and if he felt the same way he might have thought the speech would be awkward.

[@earthtohannah.]

@@thrawncaedusl717 true maybe. i feel in a way that Wes releasing 4 shorts in one year is in a way honouring Roald but also bringing attention to the short film side of the industry which makes me feel as though he wouldn’t see the award as necessary beneath him. i am probably completely wrong but that’s what i was thinking. i do think he is a bit disappointed that asteroid city was not nominated and that’s why he didn’t go to the show.

Former winners doing the mini speeches to the nominees for acting categories should be something they start doing at the sag awards instead since it’s already sort of like actors gassing up other actors. It makes more sense for the Oscar’s to show clips from the films if the academy is so set on viewership and staying relevant. It was still very wholesome to watch though.

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

I am sooo happy! Pretty much every single thing went how I wanted it to go, even the categories which were up in the air (which I think is a first?) Was routing for Boy and the Heron, Emma Stone, Godzilla, Zone of Interest sound, and Poor Things to win the technical categories. I would’ve been happy if just one of these happened but they literally all did. So yeah, best Oscar picks in years, and Oppenheimer is easily the best best picture win since Parasite

Oppenheimer still is a very good movie and I'm happy for my boys Cillian and Nolan, but there are areas where other movies like godzilla or the zone of interest were a lot better, and they didn't get nominated or got subbed. I'm making special emphasis on these 2 films : godzilla minus one and the most recent dune part 2 are what the future of cinema should be when you know what you are doing.

Aside from Jimmy Kimmel doing his traditional kind of lame jokes and going on with them for way too long, this was a pretty good Oscars.

I agree with you completely my friend. Many movies got snubbed this year by the academy's favoritism towards Oppenheimer, or better said. Themselves lol. Oppenheimer is a very good movie and I'm happy for my boys Cillian and Nolan, but it should have won on many of the categories it was nominated. Godzilla minus one is the best example of what you are saying, along past lies. Godzilla should have been nominated for another 8 or 9 categories and objectively speaking win in 6 of these, including best picture for just how much it changes the modern perception of cinema in so many areas. But we all know how Hollywood, the academy and these awards tend to work on these days, they have too much ego to admit where others do better than them.

[@coletrainhetrick]

@@eliasfigarzon9813 get over yourself. It would discredit the entire oscars if godzilla were to get nominated beyond technical. It would be a joke focused on the whims of nerds who don't enjoy cinema. Past Lives would definitely not be nominated, nor Anatomy of a Fall, nor a lot of these kinds of films if we listened to your popularity contest logic. And this is coming from someone whose favorite film of last year is godzilla Minus one

[@eliasfigarzon9813]

@@coletrainhetrick nasty fucking asshole, please I don't want to talk, anymore about this because youtube will delete these comments to "protect" idiots like you. But just let me tell you that you really should watch your own movies and not the ones made by others like fucker bitch. Seriously, calling it a popularity contest, then I guess the lord of the rings or any other movie with different e elements won because of this. Nice logic, people like you are the reason of why the movie industry is in such a bad state today asshole, and since when these awards matter? I'm only saying this because it is the truth, whether you like it or not. The academy isn't what they used to be, but still doesn't they can't grow a pair and do the right thing with godzilla minus one and many others. These awards just show the bias of the academy towards itself, Oppenheimer is good and I'm happy for my boys Cillian and Nolan but the other movies are better in different aspects. Anyway hope you get destroyed soon little bitch

[@milasyakila8247]

upsetting; lily gladstone snubbed highlight; anatomy of a fall winning better highlight; jonathan glazer talking about on going genocide in palestine

[@denisefreitas6727]

Great review! I loved that Wes Anderson and The Boy and the Heron won!

[@yammerrryeet511]

Easily one of the most stacked years for the Oscar’s. So many great films came out that if any one of them won an award it’d be deserved

[@OfficialCinematicTrash]

I'm surprised your video didn't mention Godzilla Minus One taking home Best Visual Effects.

[@eliasfigarzon9813]

It really shouldn't bother you, however godzilla minus one should have been nominated for another 8 or 9 categories and objectively speaking win in 6 of these, including best picture. But this is Hollywood, the academy and these are their awards so we all know how they work lol.

[@sbrocoli6950]

​@@eliasfigarzon9813Bro you've been copy pasting the same comments that mentions godzilla💀

[@STYLIX_]

Godzilla Minus One winning just left me awestruck; congrats to Takashi Yamazaki and his team.

[@Dementia-pt5uz]

Godzilla getting his first Academy Award is the true win of the ceremony. Everything else comes second to me

[@svetanguyen4378]

20 days in Mariupol was totally deserved. So many people don't even know how hard it was to take the footage out of occupied Mariupol. The director and the operator, accompanied by a local policeman, all drove together in a car through 15 russian checkpoints (100 km of russian-occupied territory), while the cameras and hard drives with materials were hidden under the seats of the car - something for which they could all be killed if the russians found out. You can't even imagine what they felt.

[@channingbloom7125]

Boy and the heron getting the win over spider verse shook me to my core. Absolutely did not expect it to win but I’m all the more happier because of it.

[@ThatXavier]

I am EXTREMELY happy to see Godzilla Minus One win Best VFX, it was my personal choice that should win. I was expecting The Creator to take home the award with the technical side of it. But when Godzilla was announces I literally jumped out of my chair seeing it, I couldn't stop cheering.

[@eliasfigarzon9813]

It is good but I should have been better. Godzilla minus one should have been nominated for another 8 or 9 categories and objectively speaking win in 6 of these including best picture. But we all know how Hollywood, the academy and these awards tend to work, so yeah lol.

[@sbrocoli6950]

​@@eliasfigarzon9813Best picture nah... The acting and the dialogue in godzilla minus one is so ridiculous. It felt like anime turned into a live action imo

[@getmario64]

1:54 Emma deserved to win another award-winning actress for Poor Things and I'm glad that the classic act “Jules” (sorry but she's from Superbad) got a great performance since La La Land's first time. Sorry Lily, I love your native performance and it will be sweep so you got good enough awards this year. Only for Golden Globe and SAG awards winning.

[@christianwise637]

I must say I'm really happy with the majority of the winners - Oppenheimer sweeping, Poor Things in the technical awards, Godzilla winning visual effects, Zone of Interest winning sound, Anatomy of a Fall for screenplay, Wes Anderson finally winning an Oscar, and Miyazaki becoming a two-time winner. Only real disappointment was Lily Gladstone losing, and by extension KOTFM going home empty-handed, but it was a really stacked category and Emma Stone was genuinely fantastic, so it wasn't a total WTF upset like say Jamie Lee Curtis taking supporting actress last year

[@eliasfigarzon9813]

It wasn't so bad, it was definitely good for the most part. But some movies were subbed in many categories where they should be nominated and win. Godzilla minus one is the best example of this, the movie should have been nominated for another 8 or 9 categories and objectively speaking win in 6 of these including best picture. But we all know how Hollywood, the academy and these awards tend to work, so yeah lol.

[@GameGambling]

I feel like this was one of the better Oscars ceremony in recent times

[@wwaxwork]

Emma Stones performance was Oscar catnip. They love that shit. Not saying she's a bad actress but , Lilly did the harder performance though, to be quiet and stoic and strong and not fade into the background against great actors like DiCaprio and De Niro that's talent. RDJs often quoted bit in Tropic Thunder summed up the situation here. Over the top performances are easier to say hey look they're "acting". Than the quiet gentle ones and it's just sad.

[@thrawncaedusl717]

About as good of a night as I could reasonably hope for Poor Things. Would have been nice if it took Best Picture or Adapted Screenplay, but I knew those were unlikely. I feel like having actors win major awards is actually more important for a director’s career anyways; it ensures that great actors continue to want to work with them. I do wonder how The Academy will respond to Kinds of Kindness (Lanthimos’s next film, with much of the same cast). Lanthimos has been on a tear recently, so I expect it will deserve many of the same nominations, but would not be surprised if it misses some due to voter fatigue (unless Stone’s performance is undeniably GOAT tier, I know they won’t give her another Lead Actress win). But on the other hand, maybe he will start to develop the “due” narrative for Director or Picture?

[@joshfactor1]

i knew past lives wouldn't get any recognition but it doesn't detract from the film itself

the karstman… just the person I was waiting for

[@sudevsen]

>not posting Glazer's acceptance speech Gee I wonder why

[@BarrettPfeifferBB]

you’re so right about showing clips from the movies, it feels so empty without them

[@Busha69]

The Boy and the Heron upset made my day! I mean, just look at Miyazaki's filmography and tell me how this guy only had one Oscar until yesterday? Japanese animation just kept getting snubbed (and well, the others who aren't Ghibli still getting this treatment) even though everyone knows Japan is the master of animation.

[@CAPTAINMIIDGET]

I thought the past winners talking about the nominees was quite sweet

[@Bayuuk]

KOTFM not winning anything is akin to Banshees not winning anything last year. Great film that arguably should’ve had at least 1 win, but ultimately other competitors beat them (Kerry condon should’ve won best supp over JLC tho)

[@eliasfigarzon9813]

Honestly while I'm happy for my boys Cillian and Nolan we can't deny the bias and favoritism of Hollywood and the academy to Oppenheimer. The movie is very good, but the others are just as good and better in some aspects, and they didn't get nominated or got subbed by Oppenheimer. The academy has too much ego to recognize when the others are better lmao.

[@howlett1137]

enjoyed the two speeches you mentioned but obviously Glazer's was the best and the most courageous one we've heard in countless years

[@CataRDJ]

This year's ceremony was pretty great imo! Really entertaining when Jimmy Kimmel wasn't involved. He's not bad, but he isn't great. John Mulaney should definitely host next year, he would actually make funny jokes about movies. But overall, pretty great night

[@TheGatita990]

These Oscars were super chill and enjoyable, like there was no drama, just vibes

[@bully2681]

I think Poor things should have gotten the award for either best picture or best director. That movie was exceptional in many many ways. Oppenheimer was great as well but I didn’t find it as enjoyable and it lacked the creativity Poor Things was going for. Yet again both films were fantastic but I still recall almost every scene from Poor Things. Cannot say the same for Oppenheimer. Sure, Nolan deserves an Oscar all together but I think he did a better job at Interstellar for example and even Memento

[@getmario64]

6:02 Ryan nailed it for this appreciation for singing “I'm Just Ken” and he wears his classic Pink Panther tux and he sang amazingly. Ryan Gosling is the pretty boy man right here and can't wait to see him in “The Fall Guy” more than Reynolds did. Waiting for “Deadpool & Wolverine” or “IF”? …come on Ryan R.? Billie did win again for her song “What Was I Made For?” since winning her first time Oscar song, “No Time to Die.” The Fire Inside is not a bad song like you and Adam from YMS just had a bad taste of this fictional Flaming Hot Cheetos movie.

[@SuPeRNinJaRed]

Speaking of callout about 4:17 making more $10 million instead of $100 million films, I totally thought you were gonna mention the Godzilla Minus One win after that perfect segue ;) It was the surprise highlight of the night imo

[@jonathanisrael439]

Would have loved to hear you talk about the importance of Jonathan Glazers speech. You mention it and hint at the academy silencing him by not posting it but tell us directly what you think! You have a platform and you clearly love the movie for a reason, so you must (at least) acknowledge and address his condemnation of the occupation. I am sure it is intentional to avoid politics and to remain as widely respected as possible, but when art is so clearly a statement on (and a product of) the times we live in, it is only right for you, a film reviewer and critic, to call it as you see it. Much love and respect for your content. Free Palestine and Free Gaza #notinourname

if conan obrian hosted, i would acc watch the oscars instead of recaps and reels

Gee I wonder why they didn’t post the Zone of Interest acceptance speech..

[@starrystudy00]

the animation joke by jimmy kimmel ("did my kid fill out this ballot?") literally had me seeing red!!!! i'm so glad miyazaki and team were not there to be disrespected like that. because WTF!!! I stepped away to eat dinner and missed the John Cena bit, I'm crushed. i rolled over laughing so hard at john mulaney bringing up madame web. truly iconic. plz let him host. so happy for the Godzilla minus one team, their joy was infectious and i LOVE how they brought mini Godzillas to celebrate. It was great to see Lupita Nyong'o, Michelle Yeoh, and J Law (and Zendaya ofc) but I totally agree with you, I think the clips of the performances vs. praise from previous winners would be way better.

"[Jimmy Kimmel] is never bad" Wow, you lost me in the first ten seconds 😂
