00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to a bonus episode of Movie Mix

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Movie Podcast. If you're looking for this week's new episode,

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: just go back one in the feed. But I wanted

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: to take some time to break down the oscars from

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: last night. A lot of things happened. I got some

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: things right, I got some things wrong. There were some surprises,

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: there were some snubs. So this episode will be dedicated

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: entirely to that. So let's just get right into it.

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: So let's start first what I got right, biggest award

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: of the night. I knew without a doubt no man

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Land was going to take it home, and it proved

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: to be true. And I said, when I first watched

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: this movie, they may as well have just called this

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: movie oscar Land, Like this movie was set up in

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: so many ways and the perfect time where it came out,

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: the subject matter, the way it was shot, the director.

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: It was just tied up to win Best Picture. So

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: I felt like that was a pretty easy pick for

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: them to go with. And the thing that bugged me

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: about this is usually Best Picture is at the very

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: end of the show. That's the big award, that's the

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: one we're all waiting for, and for some reason, they

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: put it up third, second to last, so it was

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: Best Picture, Best Actors, and then Best Actor, which I

25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: thought totally threw me off and I found a little

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: bit annoying. I'll get into why I think they did

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: that and why they kind of messed up there, But

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: this is Francis McDorman and the acceptance speech for nobody Land.

29
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Please watch our movie on the largest screen possible, and

30
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: one day, very very soon, take everyone you know into

31
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: a theater, shoulder to shoulder in that dark space and

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: watch every film that's represented here. Tonight we give this

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: one to our wolf. One of I would say the

34
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: better acceptance speeches of the night had the most feeling

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: into it, a little more animated in a show that

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: otherwise is a little bit boring. And I love the Oscars.

37
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: The Oscars are basically my super Bowl, but watching these,

38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: the only reason I was excited was because I have

39
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: seen all these movies. I've talked about them, I've looked

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: up everything about him. So I found it just interesting

41
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: enough to watch everybody win and go up and talk

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: about them because I knew what they're talking about. But

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: I realized for everybody else who was just kind of

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: tuning in, like all right, Oscars, let's see what they're about.

45
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a boring show. It was

46
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: shot amazingly, like I think credit needs to go to

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: whoever directed the Oscars, because they were going for more

48
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: of a movie field, to give it that cinematic aspect,

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: and I thought they had that, But what was actually

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: happening throughout the award show was just very There was

51
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: nothing special to it. There was no comedians doing any

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: kind of bits. They did one thing later in the

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: show I'll talk about, but there was no real life

54
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: to it. So to have Francis McDorman up there howling

55
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: like she did in nomad Land, I think added a

56
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: pretty good quality to it. So that was Best Picture,

57
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: and then also got right that Best Actors went to

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: Francis McDorman. And like I said, you don't bet against

59
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: Frances big Dorman. If he is up for an award, Um,

60
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: she's gonna win it. She just has that quality to her.

61
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: And there was no kind of denying in my mind,

62
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: no man Land for that. So I got that one

63
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: right as well. When it came to Best Animated Feature Film,

64
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: I had pick Soul easy pick, because I mean, I'd

65
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: say the easiest heat of all the ones that picked

66
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: because it really had no competition, it had the critical

67
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: acclaim and it also had the success on Disney Plus

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: and the success um just of people talking about it.

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: So I thought that was an easy win. Got that

70
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: one right Back to Best Director also went to Chloe

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: Jowl for No Man Land. She became the first Chinese

72
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: woman and the first woman of color to win Best Director.

73
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: She's also only the second woman to win it. The

74
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: first one was actually the director of The hurt Locker

75
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: back in so that was pretty cool. Seeing her up

76
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: there except that award and her just kind of chilling

77
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: throughout the entire Oscars was kind of fun to watch.

78
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: She seems like somebody who doesn't really care about winning awards.

79
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: She seemed very laid back in chill and seeing her

80
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: when that was really cool. Um also got right Best

81
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Supporting Actor Daniel Khalua from Judas in The Black Messiah.

82
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: I thought, hands down he had the best performance and

83
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited that the votes weren't split on Judis in

84
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: the Black Messiah. And he also had a pretty good

85
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: acceptance speech, enjoying ourselves not because we celebrate you gotta

86
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: celebrate life. Man we're breathing with woking. It's incredible. It's incredible.

87
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: It's incredible. My mom, my dad, they had sex. It's amazing,

88
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: saying I'm here, do me, and so I'm so happy

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: to be alive. So I'm gonna celebrate that tonight. You

90
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, you're talking about he's gonna

91
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: go party after that. I hope he did. I like

92
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: that in his speech. He was like, Uh, I'm gonna

93
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: go and I'll get back to work on Tuesday. And

94
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: he gave that buffer day of Monday, so I'm sure

95
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: he went hard last night and then it's going to

96
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: get back to it on Tuesday. I thought that was

97
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: funny and also again shout out to whoever was directing

98
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: the Oscar Awards, because in that moment when he said

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: that line about his parents having sex, they immediately paid

100
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: to his mom in the crowd and got a reaction

101
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: and that was perfect. So of the top eight categories

102
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: that I predicted, I got five out of eight. Pretty good.

103
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: I felt like as long as I could get Best

104
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: Picture right director, I feel pretty solid and calling myself

105
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: your movie guy, like I just I just knew those

106
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: in my heart. But the ones that ended up winning

107
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: for the ones I got wrong were the biggest surprises

108
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: of the night. First, with Best Original Song went to

109
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: Fight for You from Judas in The Black Messiah. I

110
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: didn't think that was the best overall song in the category,

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: but once they kind of showed the visuals and put

112
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: them all against each other when they were running through

113
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: the categories, I was like, Okay, maybe that one could

114
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: have been it, and I kind of missed something there,

115
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: so got Best Original Song wrong. I think every year

116
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: that category is kind of just a toss up in

117
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: the air who is gonna win anyway, So another one

118
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: for Judas in The Black Messiah. And then Best Supporting

119
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: Actress went to Yu Jung Yon from Manari, which I

120
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: think was a big this on my part and I

121
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: just thought that they would go for the more kind

122
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: of classic feel of Olivia Coleman and her performance in

123
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: The Father, which I thought was really strong but really

124
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: glad I went to her because she got up there

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: and was starstruck by Brad Pitt, who presented the award tour,

126
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: which I think we all would be if we walked

127
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: up on stage to win an Oscar. I think I

128
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: would be more in awe of Brad Pitt standing there

129
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: with a man Bunton, So I like that she addressed that,

130
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: and I like that Minario gotta win there, which I

131
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: feel like they didn't really get a whole lot of

132
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: love at the Oscars. My favorite part was probably the

133
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: seven year old kid who played the son in the

134
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: movie went up there fully dressed up, and at one

135
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: point they panned to him and he was on his iPad,

136
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: just sitting there playing, and he like, man, you're at

137
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: the Oscars. But then you also gotta remember seven, like

138
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: what is he going to find entertaining? Even he was

139
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 1: born a little bit by the show. But the biggest

140
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: upset of the night, and the one I didn't get

141
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: right that I was upset about and talking about earlier,

142
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: how they kind of switched things around. They ended up

143
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: putting Best Picture and then Best Actress and then save

144
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: the Best Actor for the very end, which they never do.

145
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: And after they did the Best Picture and gave that away,

146
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, they have to set this up

147
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: for Chadwick Boseman to win for Best Actor, and they

148
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: close out on that and I thought that's what they

149
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: were gonna do. They did not. It went to Anthony

150
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: Hopkins for the Father, which I thought gave the strongest performance.

151
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: But I really thought they were going to honor the

152
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: life of Chadwick Boseman and that kind of be the

153
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: moment of the night. And not only did he not

154
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: get it, but it gave for the most awkward ending

155
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: ever to an award show because they'd grow up there.

156
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: It's Jakin Phoenix giving away the award. He gives it

157
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: to Anthony Hopkins. Anthony Hopkins isn't there all right? And

158
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: the show good to music and that's the ending of

159
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: the show. Took everything, any kind of breath away from

160
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: a finale of the award show completely out. But I

161
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: did think it was cool that Anthony Hopkins since came out,

162
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: gave a speech, put it up online and honor of

163
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: Chadwick Boseman. Good morning. Here I am in my homeland

164
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: in Wales under the eighty three years of age. I

165
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: did not expect to get this award. I really didn't.

166
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: Very grateful to the Academy and thank you, and I

167
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: want to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman was taken from

168
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: us far too early, and again thank you all very much.

169
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: I really did not expect this, so I feel very

170
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: privileged to known it. Thank you, And I think he

171
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: really didn't expect to win. They didn't have it set

172
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: up to where they could throw to him. He had

173
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: to put that message up later, so I think that

174
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: was the biggest surprise. But he did give a really

175
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: great performance in that movie. So if you haven't seen

176
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: that yet, I highly recommend The Father, except you can't

177
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: stream it anywhere you have to pay the fee. The

178
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: other kind of highlight of the night I think was

179
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry's speech, and I'll explain why, but here's just

180
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of a speech that he won the

181
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: Humanitarian Award and then came on and delivered this. My

182
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: mother taught me to refuse hate. She taught me to

183
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: refuse blanket judgment. And in this time, it is my

184
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: hope that all of us would teach our kids and

185
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: not only to remember, just refuse hate. I refused to

186
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: hate someone because they are Mexican, or because they are

187
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: black or white or lb G t Q. I refused

188
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: to hate someone because they are a police officer. I

189
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: refused to hate someone because they are Asian. So anyone

190
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: who wants to meet me in the middle to refuse hate,

191
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: to refuse blanket judgment. This one is for you to God,

192
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: bless you and thank you a tad and I appreciate it.

193
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: And why I love that speech is usually they get

194
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: on the oscars and they feel very preachy because they're

195
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: all Hollywood people and they're kind of living in their

196
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: own world talking about things coming from people who are

197
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: now successful and have money, and kind of in a way,

198
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: I feel like talked down to people like you and I,

199
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: and it has kind of an elitist kind of vibe

200
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: to it sometimes. And what Tyler Perry went on there

201
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: and said was kind of just everybody meet me in

202
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: the middle ground. And he never was talking like condescending

203
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: to anybody. He was never talking from a place of

204
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: like him being better than anybody. He was just straight

205
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: up saying like we all just need to come together

206
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: and not discriminate people, which I thought was a great message.

207
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: He seems like a very down to earth guy. He's

208
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: worth a billion dollars and has done a lot to

209
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: help people out over the last year, which I thought

210
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: was amazing. They gave an inside look to his whole

211
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: organization where he's just been feeding people so and helping

212
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: people out. So I really think you can't not like

213
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry as a guy. He's not a lot to

214
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: help out a lot of people. And I thought that

215
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: was a really cool moment of the show. A dumb

216
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: moment of the show though, it was Glenn Close shaking

217
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: her butt. That was really expecting it at all, which

218
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 1: you need to put it. So, this was at a

219
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: point of the show where they were trying to add

220
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: a game. They were walking around and asking people in

221
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: the audience. They'd play a song and then they'd ask

222
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: was it the Best Picture winner nominee or neither? And

223
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: I think this was there one kind of spot to

224
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: try something to get people involved and maybe create a moment.

225
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: I thought it worked. Okay, I think the game wasn't

226
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: that fun. There's really nothing fun about that game. It

227
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: was more so the interacting and just walking around with

228
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: the microphone, which I think is what this Award show lacked.

229
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: It lacked a host doing that, it lacked some comedic

230
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: element to it. And then going Close, it was great.

231
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: She was funny, but it felt a little like just

232
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: kind of placed in there at an awkward time. But

233
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: that was the one kind of if they had a

234
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: quote unquote moment of the Oscars. That was probably it.

235
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: A few other of the categories I'll run through. Best

236
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: Adapted Screenplay went to The Father. Best Original Screenplay went

237
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: to Promising Young Woman. Best Documentary went to My Octopus Teacher,

238
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: which I have seen and I agree that was a

239
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: really great documentary. It's hard to believe that watching an

240
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: octopus and somebody interacting with him could be captivating, but

241
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: that's a really good one on it looks if you

242
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: want to watch it. Best Visual Effects went to Tenant.

243
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: Best Film Editing went to Sound of Metal, and Best

244
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: Sound of course went to Sound of Metal. Then the

245
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: other one I like that i'd recommend was Best Animated

246
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: Short Film went to If Anything Happens I Love You,

247
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: which is a really short like I think it's under

248
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: ten minutes on Netflix. The animation is amazing and the

249
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: story will make you cry. So if you're looking for

250
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: something to watch on Netflix and under ten minutes to

251
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: get a quick little story and a quick little cry,

252
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: I highly recommend checking out If Anything Happens I Love

253
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: You and then Another Highlight was also. Best International Feature

254
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: went to a movie called Another Round, which is a

255
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: movie from Denmark. The director got up there and gave

256
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: this really great speech about how this movie was dedicated

257
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: to his daughter who passed away. And this is probably

258
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: the last movie I watched in preparation for the Oscars.

259
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: It is all in subtitles, but it's basically like a

260
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: reverse coming of age movie. It's about this group of

261
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: older men trying to relieve their glory days. They started

262
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: drinking heavily and going through all these problems. So if

263
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: you're looking for something in that space, I think that's

264
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: a great international movie to check out. But overall, I

265
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: thought the Oscars were a little bit predictable this year.

266
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: They weren't very entertaining. They looked amazing. I am into

267
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: what they are doing at this kind of level. I

268
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: kind of like to strip down and look. I thought

269
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: it looked amazing. I just thought they need some host

270
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: up there doing some more comedy and making it more interactive.

271
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: They need some live performances, which I guess they can't

272
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: really do during COVID and kind of keeping it locked down.

273
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, it really is that because if you're just

274
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: turning on the screen and watching somebody give random speeches

275
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: about people you don't know about, not going to be

276
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 1: really irritating, but those are the winners. Those are the

277
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: oscars for this week. If you had to go watch

278
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: one of these today, I would say still go watch

279
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: Judas in The Black Messiah on HBO Max. Thanks everybody

280
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: for listening, and until next time. Later
