Anyone watching the Oscars?

[Doctor Phibes]

I've seen Elvis, and I'm going to watch All Quiet on the Western Front.

Elvis didn't really warrant an Oscar nomination IMHO.

I thought I was the only person not to watch Top Gun Maverick.

I never watch the Oscars. I might if they had Ricky Gervais present it, but that's about it.

[Renauda]

No, not a one.

Anyone watching the Oscars?

What are those?

[George K]

My poporn overflowed with Top Gun. It was fun as hell.

But...Oscar-worthy? Perhaps not.

I tried to get through Elvis, but I couldn't.

I'm intrigued by Tar - because I love Cate Blanchett and Mahler.

[Mik]

Elvis and All Quiet. We will see Avatar, Fabelmans, Banshees and Wverything Everywhere eventually.

[George K]

All Quiet was amazing.

[Axtremus]

Top Gun: Maverick is one my the movies that many here said they watched, no?

I have not watch Top Gun: Maverick.
I have watched Everything, Everywhere, All At Once and The Triangle of Sadness (but did not finish), Avatar: Way of the Water, Living, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ...

[George K]

OK...that Indian shit was DA BOMB!

Love it.

Eva Longoria's boobs are asymmetrical.

Right lower than left.

I noticed.

Yes it was. The two leads danced with not only exceptional skill, but unbridled joy.

No idea what it was from.

I didn't know it was today until I just saw this thread.

It is a shame they have to do it with a day that only has 23 hours.

I love movies. Love. Haven’t had much time recently to watch but did see Top Gun. Very fun, worthy if there was an Oscar for “reminding folks why going to the movies is worth it” but otherwise not really an award worthy movie.

Used to watch the Oscar’s religiously. Last few years I’ve stopped (didn’t even know it was on today) because of the politicization and holier than thou statements.

[Mik]

No, TGII was just the original literally remade. Its vacuousness reminded me of parts of Picard and Discovery.

Still a fun movie to see on the big screen.

So far, not too much of that (though I didn't hear Kimmel's monologue).

The most popular "in word" seems to be "diverse," FWIW.

All Quiet on the Western Front is fantastic. I also saw Top Gun.

First I ever heard of the winning movie was this morning

[George K]

I never saw the 1st "Avatar" movie. Is it any good?

[jon-nyc]

Damn. John Williams received his 53rd Oscar nomination this year.

53!

[Jolly]

Yep. But best seen in the theater and it's one of the few 3D movies I ever saw, that kinda worked.
