Holy shit, Olivia Colman won! I love her Oscar speech. TBH to me that was the best Oscar moment. (Well, also hearing how mad Spike Lee got when Green Book won.) I haven't been this excited over an Oscar win since Mark Rylance won a couple of years ago.
She's such a great actress and she deserves that recognition.

I really enjoyed Green Book. It was a very simple story, but the screenplay was pitch perfect and the acting was phenomenal. Plus you just know it will get people mad on the internet so that's always nice as well.

I'm having a good time reading all of the angry comments and salt over the loss of Black Panther not getting a best picture award. This would have been a great salt thread, let me tell you.
 
By the way, I'm pretty sure Spike Lee was the only one who made a big speech about the 2020 election and politics. Everyone else toned it down.
 
Actually, now that I’ve actually read what Green Book is about....why is Twitter mad?

Man, did I super appreciate them keeping it toned down compared to last year. And as soon as I heard Spike Lee begin his speech, I though “oh no...”
 
Well, it ain't woke enough for this writer, folks!

The Oscars Were an Embarrassment

The hostless show was a bore with few memorable moments. ‘Green Book’ may be the worst Best Picture winner in Oscars history. This year’s telecast was a disaster.

It’s hardly unusual for bad films to win Oscars, but there is something glaring about Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody’s dominance this year.

Green Book is a buddy dramedy about race relations and a snapshot of the Civil Rights era South. It is patronizingly glib and anodyne about those complicated issues, and engages in cliches with such gleeful confidence it’s almost as if the filmmakers had a checklist. The family of Don Shirley, the musician whom Mahershala Ali won Best Supporting Actor for portraying, has been outspoken about the liberties the film takes with the facts of Shirley’s life. The optics of that are worse considering that the entire team behind the film, save for producer Octavia Spencer, is white. (It’s certainly worth noting that only Ali thanked Shirley from the stage Sunday night.)

Bohemian Rhapsody is a movie that portrays homosexuality as a predatory gateway drug. It moves with shocking lethargy, considering that this is a movie with Freddie Mercury at its center, up until its rousing Live Aid finale, which we’re assuming is all voters remember when they reward this movie. It, too, changes facts, rewriting the timeline of Mercury’s AIDS diagnosis to make it seem as if reckoning with his mortality drove him to deliver that legendary performance.

Black Panther winning is just like the time Crash won the Oscar.

More anti-Drumpf bullshit I imagine? It's funny that before the election he was bemoaning blacks who supported Hillary and called them Uncle Toms.
 
I couldn't stand it, tbh. So much woke bullshit and the only person who had any charm was Mulaney.

But yeah, despite pandering to wokes Tumblr is chimping out for Olivia Colman winning over muh precious Indian Mexican because fuck hard work and dedication, we're just gonna give awards to people due to their skin color.
 
One word: salt

Did we watch the same film? Everybody was a horrible person to varying degrees in The Favourite. Queen Anne wasn't even the worst one

Twitter wokes are angry because it apparently doesn't portray racism in a way to make the white man uncomfortable and check his white privilege. Also because of supposed historical inaccuracies, but most of the complaints seem to be related to the aforementioned reason.

Green Book was okay just too cheesy and forgettable, same with most of the nominees, outside Roma and the Favourite which were good and Bohemian Rhapsody which is bad outside Rami Malek.
Oscars rarely take a chance picking interesting movies, and if they did people would bitch that they haven't even heard of those movies.
 
I never watch these award shows ... But I am quite happy that Spider-Verse won Best Animated Movie and that Olivia Colman won Best Actress. Well-deserved, and a refreshing surprise!

People have been mentioning how good Colman's acceptance speech was, so I found it on YouTube and gave it a watch. As someone who fucking HATES awards shows, her speech put a genuine smile on my face. She comes across as a delightful, grounded person.
