I think they chose to honor Jamie Lee Curtis's body of work over Angela Bassett which can often happen in the supporting category, Jack Palance anyone? And judging by Angela's salty response I think they made the right choice. Jamie Lee Curtis is very pro Hollywood and she's friends with everybody. I don't know if it was the better performance out of the two but she was in the whole movie and Angela was killed in the first third. I'm okay with it
Best oscar night ever. Period.. Simple. Classy and acting winner. ALL of them deserving it very much. BRENDAN ALWAYS MY favorite actor... And his winning somehow feels personal thriump for me too
Not too many shockers at the Oscars this year actually except maybe Jamie Lee Curtis. Pretty good broadcast though. Actually enjoyed Jimmy Kimmel's monologue and jokes overall. And God bless Ke Huy Quan. Supporting actor has been my jam the last two years. Get Ke Huy Quan and Troy Kotsur in a movie and I'm there!
Best Winners for Me : Michelle Yeoh, Brendan Fraser, Ke Huy Quan, Sarah Polley, Pinocchio, RRR, Avatar, Maverick, All Quiet On The Western Front (Cinematography) and basically Everything Everywhere in the top categories. Congrats to all the Winners 🙌
She absolutely is! She's young and this was her first major film role and nomination. She'll be nominated again. The JLC win was definitely a career win, for better or worse.
@@rebeccag8589 agreed. I was watching the movie and I was waiting for a scene in the second half where JLC earned the oscar, so to speak, a dramatic monologue or some amazing transformative acting or something... But it never came. She won an Oscar for very very little screen time... But she's JLC so deserves all the oscars.tbf. 😁🤣
I wished the original academy awards show was this concise and this entertaining. 3 hours in less than 20 minutes and nothing of import lost. Thank you.
the second you did the macarena, i lost it lol. Fun night, still kinda shocked with Curtis but i'll take it. Freaking RRR was probably the biggest highlight of the night.
Your dedication to cinema man, it's unmatched. Of all the channels I follow, you're the only one who follows it this hard. Makes me feel less nerdy for wanting these every year lol. Thanks for all you do, brotha!
The Oscars felt off to me, I don’t know what it was but something just felt off. I also found it interesting that half of the Best Picture nominees didn’t walk away with any Oscars
Exactly. I love her for all her iconic roles but this year in the Best Supporting Actress category she would have been my choice no. 4 or 5 behind Kerry Condon, Angela Basset and Stephanie Hsu.
I don't think I'm gonna get over how fantastic the live performance of "Naatu Naatu" was. I've seen it like five times and now I'm seeing it for the sixth time 😭😭😭
Imagine how it would've been if Jr NTR & Ram Charan did it, with the original background score & the sequence recreated. That would've blowed the audience mind.
I nailed all of the noms and i gotta give you props it's all nice and easy to predict when you watch the show but before it gets hard cuz we overthink basically every aspect of everything or should i say EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE. This oscar has been a W in my books.
Good show this year for the Oscars. My only gripe was that Top Gun should have WON cinematography and wasn’t even nominated?! How did they miss on that one. I really wanted The Batman to win something, but I can’t complain about too many of the selections this year. Good stuff.
Your edits are amazing! Great reaction video. Have been following you on and off for a few years around Oscar season. Your predictions were pretty on point!
Loving the reactions Austin. Thought this was one of the more fun Oscars in recent memory. I hope you do a video on the last of us. That season finale is incredible if you haven’t watched it yet.
I know... Such poor taste, I get the disappointment like Kerry's face; she looked kind of sad. I believe she knew she was the only Hope for Banshees; but Angela didn't even clap!!! That looked so bad
Understandable losing to a performance like Curtis'. She was fine with what she was given. Not a performance to give an Oscar to. It was a career award unfortunately.
I'm glad that Bassett didn't win. Regards of quality of her performance in that one scene,. which was the one being considered, J.L.C.'s and the other nominees' performances were judged over their entire films.
I was happy with all the choices. Supporting actor was a lock I think it was the only race that was not in question regardless of the ridiculous BAFTA outcome. I agree with your supporting actress flip. Cate Blanchett did not need her third Academy award denying Michelle who's performance was not as intense but certainly more multifaceted. It's like comparing oranges to grapes. And even though Austin Butler gave up 3 years of his life Brandon Fraser gave up 20 years of his life. Austin Butler became Elvis but I wasn't as emotionally affected as I was Brandon's portrayal in the whale even though it's a terribly depressing movie. I don't think anyone was robbed and I think everybody that won was deservingly so
This year's Oscar proves that narrative matters a lot. That a strange wacky movie with heart and originality can win big. That the Academy has no problem leaving half of its Best Picture nominees empty-handed. That the BAFTA love for All Quiet on the Western Front was not a BAFTA thing; heck it won 4 Oscars! Can't wait for the next season!!
Steven Spielberg is such a genius. He is one of the greatest directors ever. Not only of Hollywood but of the World Cinema. Hence, it is really sad to see that he got overlooked by the Academy in this harsh fashion even after making such a great film as 'The Fablemans'.
Let this sink in: only one of his films ever took home seven Oscars - Schindler’s List. Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Arc, Saving Private Ryan and now dozens of other remarkable films now form a creative pool that should have prompted the winners to say “we stand on the shoulders of a giant!”
Highkey think if Babylon hadn't bombed and reviewed so badly it could have taken production design, but the fact that it did made most Academy members either too unimpressed or too embarassed to vote for it.
Well, I liked Brendan Fraser. For me personally, Naatu Naatu and Jamie Lee are overrated. Was rooting for Kerry Condon and Hold My Hand. Glad you liked those moments though.
@@sharaththallapally5208 My favorite moment was seeing Banshees win nothing. It needs to stay the best kept secret in cinema. Nothing ruins a movie more than everyone loving it.
@@sharaththallapally5208 They are overrated. Movies are too subjective for awards. Kind of fun to predict and see who wins, but like reviews which I also do not pay attention to, what matters is what each individual person likes. Not awards or reviews.
To me, it’s a tie for Best Supporting Actress for both Angela Bassett- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Jamie Lee Curtis- Everything Everywhere All At Once Best Lead Actor: Tie for Austin Butler- Elvis & Brendan Fraser- The Whale
A24 contributed to 9 Oscar awards (between EEAAO and The Whale). WOW. I have never seen a movie that won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor/Actress--crazy!
I missed almost every 50/50 shout (except for Brendan Fraser) so I had an absolute stinker this year with the predictions and went from 20/23 last year to 14/23 this year… but anyways I’ll take it for the EEAO sweep, I only wish that Stephanie Hsu would’ve been the one to win for supporting actress Also the Babylon snubs hurt, should’ve easily taken score and production design AT LEAST…
I loved the Oscars this year, they still had some bad jokes but overall it felt like they appreciated movies and the art more......+animation( thank you the rock). Also nope should of been nominated for cinematography and won. I really wish the Batman would of won something... But I had fun!
I really wanted Tár for Best Cinematography! It was a gorgeous looking movie. Black Panther had the best costumes hands down! Back to back wins for Ruth!! My Year of Dicks should’ve won!! Babylon was robbed twice! The BAFTAs really changed everything with their All Quiet surge. All Quiet was nowhere until the BAFTAs! I’m in the minority but, I don’t really care for Top Gun. It was okay, glad to see it get some love though. We knew Michelle Yeoh was winning once we saw Halle Berry was announcing Best Actress. No way they have the only WOC to win announce the winner and it’s not Michelle Yeoh.
The part in the movie that I felt broke the flow of the edit for Top Gun: Maverick was that crossfading “sex” scene. It’s a superior sequel and was an overall solid action film, but I don’t think it was THE best, but that’s me. I’m happy Brenden won over Austin. There was something about him that felt disingenuous, just rubbed me the wrong way. Fraser’s gratitude and the power in his performance knocked it out of the park for me. Austin was good, but felt more gilts than guts, and more style over substance. It wasn’t until the end we got to see some substance and range, but by that point, the movie exhausted me with its super cutting through the first half that once things started to slow down in the second half, it felt like it lost steam. Also, he wasn’t able to handle his acting that he’s stuck with the accent which felt a bit much. Some of the method acting antics are too much. Brenden can emote and channel empathy through in such a way that made his performance authentic and real. It’s sad that many people took the wrong things away from it, some long before they even saw the movie. Michelle receiving the Oscar from Halle Berry was a fitting passing of the torch from the first black actress to win best lead actress/ first woman of color to win the problematic lead actress category onto the first Asian actress to win. SAG was 4 for 4 with BAFTA 0 in the acting categories. While All Quiet is a solid feat, I felt didn’t have much other than the premise and visually showing us the horrors of war. Glad Sarah Polley took home the Oscar for adapted screen play because it’s a dialogue heavy feature that was definitely it’s strong suit, and it taking something home after it’s contentious award season shutouts, it got a well deserved recognition. Jaime Lee Curtis was a bit of a surprise considering that Stephane was the stronger contender in that category between the two of them, and it hurt to see Angela lose out again. She’s such a great actress that’s been shutout of the Oscars or recognition for a long time. I thought this could have been the Academy’s chance to correct it’s wrong for Angela’s loss for her turn as Tina Turner in What’s Love Got To Do With It. Sadly, not the case. Both the same age, but I guess this is a career win for Curtis and EEAAO was that final addition to her repertoire to tip in her favor. Ke is such a big burst of genuine energy that made me so happy to see him win. Barry was okay in Banshees, but to win over Ke? Really BAFTA?? Now the ticking time clock for next year’s Academy Awards lol.
Best part of the video 5:05. And I don’t know why wakanda forever was nominated for best visual affects. It literally looked like descendants 3 at the end battle
I got the top eight right in the main contest I entered, but I missed on Makeup and a couple other craft categories (no love for "Elvis" in Production Design and Costume Design also did me in) and thereby just missed out on winning the whole shebang. I'm kicking myself now for not listening to Austin and others who correctly meshed Makeup and Lead Actor winners, and not going back and changing my Makeup pick thereafter, or at least spliting the vote for it (which also would've put me over the line in first)- lesson learned. So happy specifically for Jamie Lee and all the other "Everything" winners (making history as the first Best Picture with three acting winners), and for Brendan.
I’m internally crying that Banshees of Inisherin got NO love. EEAAO is a fantastic movie, but share one of your awards please! Congrats to the Daniels!
I liked EEAAO much better when it wasn’t loved by literally everyone. Kind of like Facebook before all the parents & grandparents got an account. This just solidifies my love for Banshees even more.
Happy that you got everything mostly right! But man I wanted some surprises. I wanted some wins for Banshees … I wanted Marcel to win. And sorry but either Paul or Colin should have had the best actor.
It’s better this way. I don’t want everyone to love Banshees. I want to be unique & the fact Banshees won nothing at all pretty much makes me an outcast. Best lead actor, best supporting actress, best cinematography, best score, best director...I don’t care what anyone else thinks lol.
Austin u got 98% accurate result, especially that flip from Angela basset to Curtis was smart move
😘
Poor Indians
I think they chose to honor Jamie Lee Curtis's body of work over Angela Bassett which can often happen in the supporting category, Jack Palance anyone?
And judging by Angela's salty response I think they made the right choice.
Jamie Lee Curtis is very pro Hollywood and she's friends with everybody.
I don't know if it was the better performance out of the two but she was in the whole movie and Angela was killed in the first third.
I'm okay with it
Uhh he got like 2 wrong my guy
This was just off🎼🦋🌻🎼Austin was on code!!!
I LOVED what Roger Deakins said about the Cinematography Award this year. "The best Cinematography hasn't been nominated this year. It's THE BATMAN".
Yepp
He said or Top Gun. It should be been top gun
The Batman for sure!
The Batman was the first movie I’ve ever walked out of and thought about the Cinematigraphy
nah All Quiet deserved it
So happy for Fraser and Ke Huy Quan those guys are legends now. Can't wait for their next journey!🙏
A24 absolutely steamrolled in the Oscars this year. What a good time for indie movies!
They always do
@@Sigmundfrued Hah, no, not really
@@SigmundfruedNo, they don’t. This big sweep is a first for them. They’ve struggled with Oscars in the past.
I was absolutely ecstatic when I heard Brendan Fraser’s name called! So well deserved for an amazing performance for such a great guy on a comeback.
I haven't even watched The Whale but I am so happy Brendan Fraser won the award!
Dude, this was more entertaining than the Oscars themselves. Thank you
Brendan Fraser Deserved it 100 percent and now he's an Oscar award winning Actor.
Literally all my favorite actors and actresses of the year got their oscars. I can't be happier.
Best oscar night ever. Period.. Simple. Classy and acting winner. ALL of them deserving it very much. BRENDAN ALWAYS MY favorite actor... And his winning somehow feels personal thriump for me too
I'm going to have to watch Everything Everywhere all at once immediately to see what the hype is all about
What'd you think?
so happy for michelle yeoh and jamie lee curtis!! and all the everything everywhere team! such a great oscars this year!
Yes love the Oscar's this year for sure!!!
Not too many shockers at the Oscars this year actually except maybe Jamie Lee Curtis. Pretty good broadcast though. Actually enjoyed Jimmy Kimmel's monologue and jokes overall. And God bless Ke Huy Quan. Supporting actor has been my jam the last two years. Get Ke Huy Quan and Troy Kotsur in a movie and I'm there!

I'm watching EEAAO right now, I have no clue why they gave the oscar to JLC and not Stephanie Hsu, Hsu is outstanding.
She absolutely is! She's young and this was her first major film role and nomination. She'll be nominated again. The JLC win was definitely a career win, for better or worse.
@@rebeccag8589 agreed.

Your videos are the best, Austin! 🤣🤣🤣 “I dropped my phone again”
I haven't see Austin this excited in a while! I love it 😂!
Is that the 4 for 4 heheheheh😂
'Never seen before footage of Austin doing the macerena😂! This is one of the best videos I have ever seen from you!
😂🙌🏻
His energy in this unmatched and affectuous lol
I wished the original academy awards show was this concise and this entertaining. 3 hours in less than 20 minutes and nothing of import lost. Thank you.
Also the biggest snub (personally) was Babylon for its score!!! I'm still shocked!
Same!!
Looks like our Best Picture prediction came true.
Sure did!
Let’s face it. 2022 was an absolute juggernaut of a year for good movies in general
Morbius was snubbed
🤣Right? No justice at all in this world.
It's one of the movies of all time, for sure, but last night, so was everything else.
Jeepers, Austin, you’ve been working! Got this one edited quickly. I really thought this was a good Oscar show overall. Thanks for the reacts!
Thank you 💪🏻
So happy for this year's winners & for you AUSTIN..this video was jusst so fakinn amazing!
Editing for Everything Everywhere is in a league of it's own.
the second you did the macarena, i lost it lol.
Fun night, still kinda shocked with Curtis but i'll take it. Freaking RRR was probably the biggest highlight of the night.
Great editing Man, nicely paced video...
Appreciate it!
Your dedication to cinema man, it's unmatched. Of all the channels I follow, you're the only one who follows it this hard. Makes me feel less nerdy for wanting these every year lol. Thanks for all you do, brotha!
Appreciate you!
All Quiet is my all time fav book
Great to see this amazing adaptation getting the love
Austin butler will definitely win in future. He was incredible in Elvis.
The Oscars felt off to me, I don’t know what it was but something just felt off.
I also found it interesting that half of the Best Picture nominees didn’t walk away with any Oscars
Dude you’re such a damn inspiration love the content
Appreciate you man
Austin!!! Your makeup paralleling WORKEEEEDDD!!
🔥🔥🔥
I really enjoyed this Oscars, the awards were really deserving. Love your content as always 🥰
Thank you 🙏🏻
Goddamn I’ve been nervous for Brendan for months and he won!!!🎉
Me too!
Also, all quiet deserved that award. Such a freakin great score
I'm so happy for all the All Quiet on the western front wins🤩🤩
Honestly, I was shocked that this was the first win for Curtis. She has been a fantastic actress since forever.
All Quiet had a really great score, but Babylon deserved it
Yeah i thought so...even i was sad sad babylon missed this one.
Jaime Lee Curtis was the surprise of the night, she was not better than her co-star Stephanie Hsu and definitely not better than Angela Bassett…
Exactly. I love her for all her iconic roles but this year in the Best Supporting Actress category she would have been my choice no. 4 or 5 behind Kerry Condon, Angela Basset and Stephanie Hsu.
I don't think I'm gonna get over how fantastic the live performance of "Naatu Naatu" was. I've seen it like five times and now I'm seeing it for the sixth time 😭😭😭

Loving the reactions Austin. Thought this was one of the more fun Oscars in recent memory. I hope you do a video on the last of us. That season finale is incredible if you haven’t watched it yet.
Angela is the epitome of class, but the way she reacted to JLC's win was not. I don't think JLC would have reacted that way if AB won.
I know... Such poor taste, I get the disappointment like Kerry's face; she looked kind of sad. I believe she knew she was the only Hope for Banshees; but Angela didn't even clap!!! That looked so bad
I noticed that too 😬
Understandable losing to a performance like Curtis'. She was fine with what she was given. Not a performance to give an Oscar to. It was a career award unfortunately.
Loved these awards. My choices, my hopes, were all realized. Awesome!!
Subscribed now!! Love you

Austin you did remarkably well, especially considering this was one of the most challenging years to predict 👍
Thank you!:)

I was throughly happy with the results at this years Oscar’s and even placed 5 bets and went 4/5 on them
Austin stop it that Chris Rock "Uh Oh" killed me 🤣
I was happy with all the choices.
Supporting actor was a lock I think it was the only race that was not in question regardless of the ridiculous BAFTA outcome.

Bafta is bias, I notice not any single nomination for RRR, because movie shows britishers cruelty in movie...😆
Lmao you had me cracking up during this
This year's Oscar proves that narrative matters a lot.
That a strange wacky movie with heart and originality can win big.

Best Lead Actor: Tie for Austin Butler- Elvis & Brendan Fraser- The Whale
Don't care who gets oscars if the movie is loved by audience and makes money those are the best oscars.
A24 won all top prizes! INSANE.
I was expecting it; I'm still sad Austin Butler didn't win Best Actor
13:48 bro your editing been getting me these days😂
So it happened, banshees and tar went home empty handed. Such a shame
Got scared a bit for EEAAO in BP when All Quiet started winning.
Here for the chaos edits. 😂😂😂
I'm glad that Michelle Yeoh got her Oscar because its a tough decision between her and Cate Blanchett.
I've got a 22 out of 24. Don't think I'm ever going to beat that again. Guess I peaked in life
A24 contributed to 9 Oscar awards (between EEAAO and The Whale). WOW.
I have never seen a movie that won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor/Actress--crazy!
Swiss army man is a masterpiece
if you don't know Jurassic Park, you don't know shit
Never second-guess Laurie strode
Austin you promised that u would dance to Naatu Naatu… now I can’t put you dancing as my wallpaper on my phone 😭
I missed almost every 50/50 shout (except for Brendan Fraser) so I had an absolute stinker this year with the predictions and went from 20/23 last year to 14/23 this year… but anyways I’ll take it for the EEAO sweep, I only wish that Stephanie Hsu would’ve been the one to win for supporting actress
Also the Babylon snubs hurt, should’ve easily taken score and production design AT LEAST…
Here to watch Austin do the naatu naatu dance
I'm happy to say I got 15/23 right this year, not bad at all
Ugh jamie, i love you but you didnt deserve that. Give it to kerry.
Every award, everywhere, all at once! What can I say? Damned good movie.
7:56 I like his face 😂😂
Phone drop 😂! Congrats to all winners and to Austin for his pretty spot-on predictions.
I can’t remember the last time the best movie of the year actually won the Best Picture. I’m glad that Everything Everywhere won.
Parasite.
Parasite
Top gun maverick is now a Oscar winner !!
I loved the Oscars this year, they still had some bad jokes but overall it felt like they appreciated movies and the art more......+animation( thank you the rock). Also nope should of been nominated for cinematography and won. I really wish the Batman would of won something... But I had fun!
If only animated films were given more respect and nominated outside of the animated feature award as well
Naatu Naatu ♡
Damn this one came out quick. This was a great experience
you awsome! 🎉
Was Jamie Lee Curtis' performance really better than Stephanie Hsu? I loved her character, but come on... REALLY?
Where is the Batman?
Protecting Gotham
Still mad The Batman was robbed of a cinematography and score nomination!
I really wanted Tár for Best Cinematography! It was a gorgeous looking movie. Black Panther had the best costumes hands down! Back to back wins for Ruth!! My Year of Dicks should’ve won!! Babylon was robbed twice! The BAFTAs really changed everything with their All Quiet surge. All Quiet was nowhere until the BAFTAs! I’m in the minority but, I don’t really care for Top Gun. It was okay, glad to see it get some love though. We knew Michelle Yeoh was winning once we saw Halle Berry was announcing Best Actress. No way they have the only WOC to win announce the winner and it’s not Michelle Yeoh.

This is my favorite video of Austin ever
Original Score maybe the most upset I've been at an Oscar win in a while
Yes. Babylon deserved more than that movie.
Happy that you got everything mostly right! But man I wanted some surprises. I wanted some wins for Banshees … I wanted Marcel to win. And sorry but either Paul or Colin should have had the best actor.
It’s better this way. I don’t want everyone to love Banshees. I want to be unique & the fact Banshees won nothing at all pretty much makes me an outcast. Best lead actor, best supporting actress, best cinematography, best score, best director...I don’t care what anyone else thinks lol.
Went 19/23, was pretty happy overall
Wow turning out that video! So happy for EEAAO!
