    So I woke up to find tons of comments (and some conspiracy theories?) about not mentioning the John Cena bit. I thought it was fine, just not one of my favorite bits of the night. I actually did record something about it but I was so "eh" on it that I didn't even think it was interesting enough to include. I'm glad lots of you enjoyed it, just wasn't my cup of tea. But yes, I did, in fact, see John Cena.

    I am Japanese 日本人です
    We celebrate 2 wins for the first time in 15 years (since "Departures" and "The House of Small Cubes" in 2008)
    Most of you must be wondering why "Godzilla Minus One" was not the Japanese submition of International film.
    "Godzilla Minus One" was not that successful in Japan for a Godzilla film, and director Takashi Yamazaki is like Japanese Michael Bay, who started his career as a VFX guy. On the other hand, everyone thought famous Wim Wender's film was more Oscar-like especially after it won Cannes for the best actor.
    This is why it was a huge surprise that "Godzilla Minus One" was very successful both commercially and critically overseas.
    At Japanese Academy awards of the last week, which nobody even in Japan cares, "Godzilla" sweeped 8 categories including the best picture, while "Perfect Days" got 2 wins for the best director and best actor.
    But it was of course too late for the Oscar international film.
    In Japan, every one predicted "Godzilla" and "The Boy and the Heron" win
    Producer Toshio Suzuki just revealed at a press conference that even though Hayao Miyazaki was pretending he did not care about the awards, he was waiting at his atelier the good news, Ghibli staff was watching the show and started to clap as soon as they heard the "The" of "The Boy and the Heron", And Suzuki ordered 3 Oscar statue for himself, Miyazaki, and to show off.
    Also, everyone, do not forget that today is March 11th, 13 years after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

      This was fascinating to read, thank you so much for your breakdown and insight! I loved Godzilla and how it balanced the creature and its time period, while I was (sadly) disappointed in Boy and the Heron; it just felt like Studio Ghibli was going through the motions on it :/
      I do hope this leads to seeing more Japanese features here- we do get a lot but you still have to hunt around and drive out of the major city area to find outside programming for foreign films.
      My theatre area is featuring more Indian and Nigerian films which is great, but I also loved Japanese, Korean, and Pacific Islander storytelling the most 💜

It was really annoying. I also completely agree with your assessment with the RDJ joke from Jimmy Kimmel. I couldn't quite put my finger on why it bugged me and you really nailed it for me. What on earth was the point? It's such a lazy joke, and most damning, it wasn't funny. And Al Pacino made me cringe, what on earth was that?? Overall though I thought it was a pretty good Oscars.

    The In Memoriam this year was probably the worst I have ever seen and there have been some bad ones. Showing the screens from far away so you could barely see them and constantly moving the screens to a different area on the stage was stupid. Then having dancers in front of the screens distract from what this segment was. It was like the actors that passed away were an afterthought and the performance in the foreground was the main attraction. It was beyond terrible and disrespectful.

    Dan had it absolutely right here. In Memoriam should be somber, not flashy. The dancing honestly came across as a parody. I'm old enough that I remember "The Running Man" with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and in that film - a satire of our media consumption more than 35 years ago now - they had a dance number to remember their fallen Stalkers.
    The In Memoriam needs to go back to what it was when I was a kid: A black screen with white text names and a photo. Maybe - MAYBE - a short snippet of an iconic performance (Like Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, for example). But stop making it a show-within-a-show.

    If I had one recommendation to the producers of the Academy award ceremonies, it would be this… Your main audience is the television audience. Not the in-house audience in the auditorium. That’s why I think all focus should be given to clips of the movie, snippets of individual performances, a little bit of cinematic background, as to why these particular technical categories are so important to the filmmaking process. In other words, use the ceremony as a way of reach out to a captive audience, and bring them into the process by showing them the cinema elements that are being celebrated instead of the onstage elements that don’t have the same impact as they would to those in the auditorium

      Actually, is that assumption true? No offence intended to you or others mentioning points like that, but when a showrunner is appointed, who is their priority audience: the people in the room or the millions watching from afar?
      This is something that kinda comes up in many facets of Oscars discussions, because I don't think the answer is weighted towards the latter as much as people initially think: at the end of the day these are just astoundingly promoted inner-industry awards, voted by industry members for industry members, so why should the priority for framing inherently not be on those industry members sitting in the room? IDK, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it myself, and suspect it's a tightrope the Academy struggles with.

    The biggest oddity was "Zone of Interest". For the first time, UK won "Best International Feature Film" with ... a German-language movie.

    What the Director of American fiction said during his acceptance speech is the strategy that every early stage of venture capitalist and Angel investor uses. But those smaller movies don’t sell toys so, they’re gonna keep making $200M flops.

    I personally love the previous winners announcing all the acting nominees. If they go back to clips then they should devote as much time as they did this year for them. I’m just happy that they figured out the timing without cutting too many speeches short.

    Omg the stunt performers.... I had the exact same thought while watching the video

    Is it just me or the show is actually a bit faster? And I mean that as a good thing because it didn't feel rushed nor it did feel dragged either, all the winners have given a solid time for their acceptance speech. It's like a perfectly paced movie. It was probably the only time where I didn't check my watch to see how long the show has been going. This year is easily a great ceremony especially giving back the traditions of five actors introducing each of the nominees 🙌

      giving it a 3 and a half hour timeslot instead of a three hour timeslot probably helped.
