WEBVTT - Were The Oscars “Kenough”? 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:06.000 This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast. 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:10.440 Chris Harrison and Laurence Ema coming to you from the 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:11.879 home office in Austin, Texas. 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:14.160 It is Oscar Monday. 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.840 We watched the Oscars on a plane leaving Los Angeles. 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.320 We were in LA to surprise a friend, our wonderful 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.720 friend for her birthday and had a great time. Caught 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.320 up with friends in Los Angeles for a couple of 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.240 days and then flew back. But hey, thanks to American 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:34.519 Airlines for the live TV. I really enjoyed watching the 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.080 Oscars on the airplane, Unlike when I was on the 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.400 airplane for the Super Bowl. Not everybody. In fact, I 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.040 saw nobody else watching it. Like when I was in 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.120 an airport for the Super Bowl. It's on TVs at 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.960 the restaurants, people are crowding around watching. That was not 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.640 happening for the Oscars. As a lover of pop culture, 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:52.720 I wish that it was. 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.440 I made mention as we were at the gate we 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.840 were about to get on and this is minutes before 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:59.840 the Oscars was about to start, and what I know, 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.160 and there was there were some people that we had 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.120 brushed into in LA were in the industry, so there 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.839 was some mention of it, but overall, I would say, 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:18.160 very little buzz, very little attention, very little care in 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:24.479 the world for the Oscars, and there just isn't any buzz. 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:28.080 And we were in Los Angeles, so you know you would. 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.280 I hope the ratings are better. I want it to 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:30.600 be good. 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.959 I was, okay, first of all, again we should talk 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:35.679 about it's a good show. We're going to talk about 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.720 our favorite moments. I really thought the Oscars were good, 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.800 but I did think about, like I remember reading the 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.720 statistic that like twenty years ago, the Oscars. I'm not 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.600 going to get these numbers right, right, but it was 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.360 something at like twice the viewership it's set now. And 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.960 then the Super Bowl was like way less, Like last 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.000 year was the biggest. This past one was the biggest 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:54.640 super Bowl ever. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.800 Right, Yes, it was one hundred and twenty two million, and. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.600 It was like the biggest all thing ever watching it 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.360 since the moon landing or something crazy. 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.080 So sports has something gone up. 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.400 The Oscars has gone down, and I do think people 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.760 are crying out for a unified experience, and the Oscars 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.760 could be that the problem is they don't spot like 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:21.200 they've spent years not spotlighting the movies that the audiences 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.880 are going to see. Like I did see a statistic yesterday. 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.800 So last night, if you missed the Oscars spoiler alert, 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:32.560 the Best Picture winner was Oppenheimer. And I saw a 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:37.680 note a fact that the Oppenheimer is the first major 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.440 box office like big box office movie to win Best 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.239 Picture since Lord of the Rings Return of the King 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.120 twenty years ago. It is the first movie since The 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.880 King Speech, which was an independent film back in twenty eleven. 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.480 I believe that has made over four hundred million in 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.160 the box office. So, long story short, this is the 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.960 first time in twenty years the Academy has awarded a 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.400 movie that its audience all went to see with the 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.359 Best Picture award. So you're not giving people the content 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.440 that they're engaging in. And I think that's a huge 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:09.160 part of the problem. 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.000 When we look back and you and I listened to 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.760 podcasts all the time, Rewatchables or whatever, and you talk 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.880 about these these crazy years when there were movies going 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:20.000 against each other. 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.639 Right, Like nineteen ninety four is this famously incredible year 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.960 for movies. It was like Forrest Gump and I want 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.359 a good Will hunting or maybe shawshank There were all 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:30.600 these amazing movies all in. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.280 One year, right, and you're talking about these movies and 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.240 you're like, how did they choose and best actor? And 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.960 it was the greatest actors of all time going against 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.680 each other. It's like, how did they choose? That's what 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.280 we all tuned in for is we saw these great 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.680 movies that we loved all year, we talked about them 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.760 all year, and then they were celebrated. Now again different time. 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.880 We actually had to go to the theater or you 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.080 had to rent them from blockbusters, so you know, the 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:53.960 actions could. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:58.360 Imagine, But imagine if over the past ten years, yeah, 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.560 superhero movies which are which largely were very good. I 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.920 mean I loved all the Ironman movies on it. What 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.920 if they'd been awarding giving the moscars. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.360 Right, Robert Donney Junior won last night. He easily could 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:10.440 have won for Iron Man one. 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:11.839 Or he's incredible in these movies. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.600 Those movies fantastic. Now again those have declined and they've 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.479 gotten bad. But for a while they were everything and 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:19.080 they were. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.119 But no matter what, blowing out the box office, flowing 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.080 out the box office. 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.680 Like luckily this past. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.080 Year we had a return to people going to the 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.599 movies with Barbie and with Oppenheimer awesome because to me, 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.400 I'm happy to watch something at home, but I like 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:33.240 going to the movies. 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:34.320 It's a date night. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:39.040 Paltro Jon Favreau couldn't have won as supporting actors and 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.560 actresses in those movies for Pepper Potts and for me. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:42.440 I mean they were great. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.000 It was the Academy's mistake. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:48.240 That is a huge, huge when when all those the 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.680 Academy and the executives go, they're scratching their heads. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.400 Yef year, what are we doing wrong? Maybe it's them. 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.839 It's always them, right, it's oh, people don't get us, 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.839 and they dive deeper and deep or into these films 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:06.320 that nobody sees. That is not to negate or crap 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.080 on independent filmmaking, small filmmaking. It is wonderful. It is 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.240 an art and those people need to be shown as well, 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.440 but not at the Oscars. The Oscars is a stage. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.960 The Oscars isn't for tech technically, it isn't for the industry. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.880 It's to promote the film industry. That's really what it's for. 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.040 It's to blow this film industry. 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.120 Up into shows. Well, the thing is, it's right light 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.159 on what everybody's doing. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.960 It's really the simple why put it on TV? 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.240 If it's not gonna be for the people who for 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.520 the people at home who are ninety nine percent of 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.920 them are not in Los Angeles in this industry, why 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.840 put it on TV then and just do your own 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.919 little awards show, which I think is how it started. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:47.080 But if you're going to put it. 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.920 On TV and you want people to watch, to me, 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.320 it's actually rude to the audience at home to not 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.480 nominate and let win the movies that they're loving to watch, 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.919 Then why would they care? And guess what they haven't cared. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.680 So this year was a return back to that, and 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.080 I hope it gets better from here. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.760 If there was a course correction at one hundred percent, 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.320 I'd say they course corrected sixty percent. 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.000 Barbie should have won some stuff. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:11.520 Barbie should have been nominated. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:12.919 Gerwig should have been nominated. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.360 Barbie should have been nominated for some stuff. We'll get 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.160 to Jimmy Kimmel, but one of the I guess few 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.159 things that Jimmy Kimmel actually was good and dead on 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.640 last night was when he mentioned Barbie off the top 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.880 in Greta Gerwig and everybody was applauding, and he said, no, no, no, no, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.480 you guys are responsible for this. Don't applaud like your 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.600 standing for Greta Gerwig when you didn't nominate her, and 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.240 that that was actually funny that Jimmy Kimmel hit. We'll 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.080 get to Jimmy in a little bit. But the fact 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:45.720 that the Barbenheimer movement was everything this year in the movies, 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:50.359 and Oppenheimer was so celebrated last night, definitely deservedly so, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.840 but Barbie largely was not other than like song and 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.240 some other things they were nominated for, and I know 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:02.160 Gosling performed, we'll talk about that. Overall, a pretty big miss. 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.920 Well, it was a layup. It's just a right. 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.159 Well, first of all, again should have been nominated for 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.200 Best Director, Margot Robbie should have been nominated, and she wasn't. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.920 And then it didn't even really win in categories. I 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.600 thought it would like set and costume, Poor Things beat 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.240 it Poor Things with Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo one 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.400 more than I thought it was going to. And I 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.560 think that's the voting of the Academy as kind of 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.040 leaning towards that artseer, you know, more different movie and 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:30.400 I haven't seen Poor Things. 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:31.200 I've heard it's great. 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.880 I'm sure it is, and you know what I will say, 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.840 at least it as a really well known star in it, 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.440 and Emma Stone Like audiences love Emma Stone. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.080 Last night and her speech was super cute. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.920 A lot of people felt Lily Gladstone should have won, 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.320 and I actually think you could see it on Ema 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.280 Stone's face when she got announced that she was like. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:48.320 Wait, I won. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.920 Leonardo DiCaprio had famously been campaigning for her so hard. 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.480 He was not nominated and did not show up last night, 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.440 but he had been campaigning for her, and a lot 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:01.000 of people thought that would really help this scorsesey as well. 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.960 Yeah, I mean I haven't seen Killers of the Flower Moon. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:05.880 I've heard she's incredible in that. 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:07.520 And would it have been? Nice? 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:08.040 Time? 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:09.520 So long? 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.120 Let's take Jim about that last night. I liked that 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:13.960 joke for Moon too. 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.240 He kind of called everybody out and said all of 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.080 your movies are too long. The average movie I'll get 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.520 it wrong, but he cited the average movie nominated was 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.760 like two hours and twenty minutes long or something. Give 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.720 me a tight ninety Yeah, what happened to the hour 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:29.120 and forty minute mon. 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.240 My loved Oppenheimer, truly loved Oppenheimer. The performances, the movie, 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:34.440 the story, everything. 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.120 It was too damn long. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.280 I mean even that movie Man, there were so I 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.199 could go in without even blinking. I could cut forty 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.720 five minutes out of that film and it would still 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:44.880 be too long. 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:46.960 Well, if you want people to go see movies in 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:48.440 the theater, I've heard a lot of people say this. 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:49.360 It is this basic. 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.120 They shouldn't have to take a bathroom break, like it 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.720 should be two hours or less if they have to 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:55.720 go pee and miss the movie. 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:57.800 Just remember going to see Gandhi when there was you know, 0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.959 you had the intermission. I was like, what is happening 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:01.920 because that was such a rare thing back in the 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.199 day to have, Yeah, a movie so long that there 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.800 was an intermission. And that's we're leaning into a Broadway 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.080 play where there are intermissions where we got to take 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:14.600 a break. But overall, as we get into the show, well, 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.760 let's talk about when I say the course correction, they 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.040 did a better job because the show seemed more modern. 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.680 We didn't have the Voice of God kind of talking, and. 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.160 Alan Greer was doing the voice which I loved. We 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:26.959 had some fun with it. 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.520 Very recognizable, but less voiceover work like it's nineteen seventy four. 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.479 The set seemed good, the graphics were tight. There were stars, 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.560 stars that we all recognize, because again, there are movies 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.320 that we actually watched this year. So it just felt 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.560 fresh and it felt good. It felt like we were 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:44.000 going to have. 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:44.480 A good time. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.760 I would give it the review of this is the 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.160 best Oscars I've seen in a couple of years in 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:49.559 a while. 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:49.960 Really. 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.400 I thought the stage was beautiful, the production was tight. 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.440 There weren't big misses, it kept moving. There weren't any 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.520 presenting moments where it was like god, this written, like really, 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.439 this is the best thing we could write. Nothing painful 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.200 like that. And I also realized in watching it, you 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.120 know it is hard. And I'll give Awards shows this, 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.240 which is a struggle in the age of social media. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.200 This used to be the only place you could see 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.040 these celebrities. It was on these awards shows, and it 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.120 was really special in the age of social media. A 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.720 lot of them have social media, but what you can 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.400 get at these awards shows and what they leaned into 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.320 a little last night, and I hope they lean into 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:31.160 better in the future is just really rare cool moments 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:36.839 of celebrities coming together, and like like watching Arnold Schwarzenegger 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.560 and Danny DeVito together last night. They were so funny together, 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.360 they were so naturally charismatic and what took it to 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.760 the next level And I thought, Okay, someone really thought 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.160 this out a little better. At first, you thought it 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:49.800 was going to be a twins reunion. I was going 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:51.480 to say the same thing, and then they cut to 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.600 Michael Keaton in the audience and you realized they were 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.000 playing off of the fact that they were both in 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.120 Batman movies. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.839 And they both got killed by by Batman who was 0:10:58.920 --> 0:10:59.960 right there. It was Genie. 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:00.880 It made it. 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:05.080 Really fun putting Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling together, you know, 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.520 listen and people need a reason those two were together 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:13.120 presenting or acknowledging the stunt community on stage because they're 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.079 doing the movie The fall Guy, about a stuntman that 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.599 comes out soon. But they were in Barbie and Oppenheimer. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.120 They made they had fun with that. 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:20.840 Like they were funny. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.160 They were funny, Yeah, and I loved I love Ryan 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.640 kind of giving a shot at Oppenheimer, you know about briding, 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.640 you know, Barbie, uh taking you know, rid and so 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:30.480 it's just brilliant. 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:31.680 It was really well done. 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.720 I thought those moments were great. I guess we're getting 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.559 into highlights. I thought the John seen a moment of 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:37.640 him coming out naked. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.319 I agree, like, I'm sorry, I don't know. 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.839 I know some people online are really been out of 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.440 shape about it, but come on, it was really no 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.360 different than what he wears in wrestling. If he'd had 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.760 a little singlet on, which is what they wear their 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.280 little briefs, it's the same. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:53.560 He had a card. I mean, it's not like you 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.640 didn't you saw anything you weren't supposed to. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:56.960 But again, here's where they were. 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:58.880 I thought it was funny and the writing took it 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.240 to the next level. At first, I thought, oh, he's 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.280 just going to come out and streak, and it wasn't 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.120 going to be that funny. But the fact that he 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.840 walks out and he says he's doing the award for 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.720 costume design, I'm. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:16.439 Like, that's costumes are important, maybe the most important thing. Yes, 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.760 and again I'll give I'll give Kimmel credit here. Good bit. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:21.319 That was a good bit. He went back and had 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:22.360 a little back and. 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.040 Forth with whatever was writing last night. I kind of 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.840 felt like, and I know, like Jimmy Kimmel and his 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:28.480 wife Molly. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:29.880 I think it's McNerney. 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.000 She actually was big in kind of the improv comedy 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.920 scene when I was first starting in LA and I 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.000 think she wrote for his show and now she produces, 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.240 so she produced the show last night. I don't know 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.680 who they brought in, but the writers they had for 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.679 last night, it was elevated. 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:45.520 It was good. 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:46.280 It was different. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.839 I'll just say about Kimmel, you know, hosting that event 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.600 is very hard. It's notoriously a very difficult thing. He's 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.400 done what four or five years I think in a row, 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.080 and he didn't do bad. I'd say I give him 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.199 a B minus. Some of his stuff off the top 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:17.600 of the monologue seemed tired, like like it's I agree, 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.679 I've seen it before, and you. 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.560 Know, I actually just thought he seemed a little tired. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.160 He seemed like a little like he just done this before. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.480 Like there were a few times when he came out 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.240 and he kept going, how are we doing? I know 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.040 it's long, and I'm like, well, if you're like, I 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.760 don't know who else they could get to do the job, 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.640 because that job is so notoriously dangerous for your career, Like, 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:36.920 think of what you know, who you. 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.800 Know first of all? Who everybody wants. 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.119 Now give us John Mullaney. 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.560 Give us John Mullaney. He was so much you let 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:48.520 him host the Oscars. Jimmy, I agree. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:49.439 And what is a. 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.800 Turnoff for the millions that are watching and there will 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.600 be millions that are watches. Don't come out and crap 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.640 on the show you're hosting. You immediately come out and say, hey, guys, 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:00.439 I know it shouldn't be but this is going to 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:00.800 be long. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:01.760 It's gonna be boring. 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.720 You're gonna all suffer through this, Like I am, let's 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.839 just strap in, like what the. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.080 Yes, it probably will be long. 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.839 And yes, even though they started an hour early, they 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.680 still went over there allotted time last night. But I 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.760 don't It's just it's such a thing to come out 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.120 and just tell everybody how your show is gonna suck 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.280 and then kind of go through and crap on some movies. 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.160 We're imm a stone now. Of course, you see on 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.360 social media where she kind of called Kimmel a prick, 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:29.320 it looks like. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.760 That's some people are saying she settled the lip readers. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.800 For kind of you know, crapping on her movie. And 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.560 then you had John mulaney come out and easily the 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:41.200 best written comedic bit of the night that celebrated movies 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:45.360 and it was funny. That's what we miss. That's the 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.560 Billy Crystal, that's the Steve Martin, Jimmy Kimmel. Again, I'm 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.400 not gonna give him a failing grade. I'll give him 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.360 a B minus because he moved the show along and 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.400 he did have some highlights, but overall, I think we 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.400 need a fresh start. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.800 Well, as you're saying, it's such good insight from you, 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.040 as someone who's hosted how many live two hour shows, 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.000 I was just thinking, what if you came out and 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.800 started after the final rows with Hey, everybody, I know 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:11.720 this is long and it's gonna be tough. 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:12.920 This this is a rough night. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:13.480 Here we go. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.040 You know, I'm contractually obligated to do this, so you know, 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.680 just just bear with me, will you. And I'm like, 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.520 what what tone are you setting? It's this is the 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:27.080 biggest night of the year, millions of are watching around 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:27.760 the world. 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.720 I think the problem is that statement he's making is 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.360 to the people in the room. But first of all, 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.720 the nominees are still excited. Like Robert Downey Junior has 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.320 been in this industry for twenty years, the ups and 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.800 downs he's had, as he alluded to last night, the 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.640 man at one point couldn't get a job, couldn't get insured, 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:45.760 he was a drug addict. 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:46.320 You know. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.840 I mean, I'm not saying anything he hasn't said. And 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.440 he's now winning an Oscar like he is Hollywood's comebackstory. Yeah, 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.320 but for so for him, he's excited to be there 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.920 and like it marks a real moment of he made it, 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.160 and he did it and he came back from the darkness. 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.800 And so you're saying to the people in the room, 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.680 this is going to be long, but you're saying to 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.400 the people at home, go ahead and turn off your 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.200 TV if you want. Like so, I think if he'd 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:15.400 cut out those comments. Overall, I thought, again, it was 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.840 well written, It moved well. I did laugh out loud 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.400 a couple of times, and that's not the case for 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.880 every award show. And you know, people looked great and like, 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.080 the packages are really nice. I really liked the Well 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.640 we'll get into that buty. Just sticking on Kimmel, I 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.520 think that I remember him saying that he came back. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.240 I think because of Barbie and that's why he decided 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.680 to do it again. And I can't imagine it's easy 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.720 to get someone to do this, Like I wonder if 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.160 they've asked John mulaney and he said no up until 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:45.520 this point. 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.280 I bet not because Kimmel's ABC. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.560 Oh yeah, And whether he will admit it or not, 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.800 it's a big gig for him and you know, to 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.640 be on that stage and to be that guy. But 0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:00.360 I think everybody's a little tired of him, and I 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.640 think he's tired. And if I think, if he was 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.520 being honest, he might say himself, if you interviewed him today, 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.280 are you into this? Are you excited? Because it seemed 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.800 like he was put out. I guess that's the best thing. 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.440 I think when he came out for the monologue, he 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.800 really seemed put out, like I can't believe you guys 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.880 are doing this and I got to be here instead 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:22.560 of I didn't feel the excitement. When Johnmulaney came out, 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:24.879 I was like, I'm in man, Let that guy do 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.280 thirty minutes, let him cook. I am into his monologue, 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:29.040 let him go. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.720 And then that presenting moment at the Oscars. I saw 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.280 a lot of people tweeting and saying, well, he just 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.000 nailed his audition for hosting the Oscars, Like now he's 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:38.760 done the Governor's Awards, they know he can do an 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:40.840 awards show. And then he did the big stage and 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:42.320 he was really funny and crushed it. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.320 And that's my twenty twenty four prediction. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.760 Yeah, I think it's I think if he wants it, 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:48.639 I think after last night it's his. 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:50.160 I don't know if he wants it. 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.280 We need him, Yeah, we need him. We need a 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.840 f and the Academy does too. It'll be huge to 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:56.680 have a fresh a change. 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.320 And he's a little younger and like he is, and 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.760 by that I just I mean younger audiences know him 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:02.639 like our kids. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.520 They love his comedy. You know what I noticed, college 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:05.479 kids love his comedy. 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:10.440 The audience responded to him. And I don't mean us 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:11.000 the viewers. 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.280 I mean the people in that theater which are hardened 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.959 and barely paying attention because look, there's a lot going on. 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:18.560 I'll tell you about you because I've been to the 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.240 Oscar several times, so have you, and it is a long, 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.600 arduous journey when you're in that audience because it's really 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.879 made for TV, so you can't hear a lot. But 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.560 what I noticed when they panned out, people were laughing, 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.680 people were into his comedy, and he was killing the room. 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.159 What a lot of people say about these hosting gigs 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.879 is you have to find the person who appeals to 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.320 the audience at home and in the room. Very rare, 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.840 like it's tough sometimes if you get like I know 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.440 Joe Coy, I mean he now infamously bombed at the 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.720 Golden Globes this year. But what I heard some industry 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:51.480 people say is no one in the industry really knows him, 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.720 Like he's a stand up comedian with an audience in America, 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.199 but he's not like well known and hasn't been in 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.520 movies and people don't know him as well in Hollywood. 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.560 I guess, well, that's why Crystal and Steve Martin did 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:04.280 so well for so long. 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:04.960 That's what I mean. 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.199 They need, They need to feel like if they're going 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.240 to get roasted, it's at least a friendly face to 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:11.040 me it because there is going to be a little 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.919 poking fun. So like, look, even Kimmel last night, he 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.800 said something and seemingly I'm a stone and love the comment. 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.680 But so I think people John Mulaney might be striking 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.359 that right note of known to audiences at this point, 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.960 even if he is isn't as famous as Jimmy Kimmel, 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:28.360 but also known to the people in the road. 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.240 So I give Kimmel a B minus and I say, 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.000 we're moving on fresh Blood. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.879 What's your grade for Kimmel. 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:40.480 Yeah, I'll give Kimmel a B plus and I'll give 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.720 the show overall an A minus. 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:44.480 I'm with you. 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.160 Yeah, No, it was the most entertaining Oscars I've watched 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.960 in quite some time, because again, I liked the addition 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.880 of when they're announcing Best Actor, Best Actress and Supporting 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.679 actor categories, they brought up five formers, so we just 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.760 were inundated with star We saw stars, and there were 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:02.800 a lot of big stars. 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:03.240 You know. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.840 I know, Margot Robbie wasn't nominated, but she's there, Greta 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.840 Gerwig was there, Emma Stone and al Pacino came out 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:14.040 in the most bizarre fashion, but he got a standing ovation. 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:18.280 And talk about an ainery, cranky old man that gives 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:19.879 zero f's in the world. 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.320 You know what, I'll push back. I don't think he's angry. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.520 I thought it was a moment. 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.160 Okay, it was an old man movement. But he wasn't cranky. 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.600 I have interviewed al Pacino a couple of times. He's 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.880 very funny, he's very nice. I don't think he's cranky. 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.399 I just think he's like I agree about the I 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:38.679 don't give enough. He didn't even read the nominees. 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.360 He walks out, Okay, best picture. 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:46.000 My eyes see Oppenheimer, and everybody's like, is that the winner? 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.840 The winner? It was so bizarre. 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:53.080 Okay, this is the pin ultimate moment, and I think 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.560 what we're gonna have to do, much like maybe you know, 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.439 for many jobs that are very important, we should have 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.800 some sort of cognitive test. You should be able to 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:08.000 read three lines. The nominees are the Oscar goes too. 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:08.840 That's it. 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.760 You have really two sentences you need to say, he 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.639 missed all of them. Out of the two sentences, he 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:17.280 said no. 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.159 I don't think that's about an ability to read. I 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:20.600 think he just didn't care to read him. I think 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.320 he doesn't have enough time. He's like, I gotta go. 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:23.840 He just stumbled out on stage. 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:25.680 This is what we've been watching three and a half 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:29.440 hours for we get out there and he's like mumbling 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:31.720 something and he's like literally. 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:32.720 And he has a newborn at home. 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.560 Must he's scariest part to think that De Niro and 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:39.480 Paccino sitting there with Okay, by the way, newborns. 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:41.119 Two good jokes from Kimmel. 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.080 One when Pacino came out, I think he said he'd 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:47.359 got a sitter for the night. And two and this 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.440 was like a joke and also just a moment of perspective. 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.720 I think he said, Jody Foster and Robert de Niro 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.280 are both here tonight. Forty years ago they were nominated 0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:59.439 for Taxi Driver and Jody Foster was old enough or 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:01.840 was the age to be Robert de Niro's daughter tonight. 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:04.280 She's twenty years older than his girlfriend. 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.200 Twenty years too old to be his gold And Jody 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.320 was like, Yep, that was that was a good That 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:09.600 was a good. 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:11.880 Berth Well and I love you just pointed out That's 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:13.879 kind of what I was talking about earlier, is the 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.800 power of these awards shows. They need to lean into 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:22.679 bringing people together for special, unforgettable moments. People who wouldn't 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:25.120 always be together. You might see them on their social media, 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:26.960 but they wouldn't be with this other group and that 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.879 was great with the bringing out the former winners to 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:33.840 kind of give a special shout out to the current 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:37.840 nominees in the acting categories, like to see on stage 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:42.720 like Lupine and Yogo with like like Jamie Lee Curtis 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:44.560 and and with you know, or to see like Sally 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:46.359 Field along with like rig. 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:50.879 It was great to see Oh j Low we have 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:51.600 seen her in a while. 0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:52.520 J Lobby. 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:57.160 Yeah, these groups of women together, that was really cool. 0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:59.639 You're like, whoa, there's a lot of talent on this stage. 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:00.399 It was good. 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.280 It was just good to see stars. What'd you think 0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:04.600 of the Ryan gosling Ken song? 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:05.600 I thought it was great. 0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:10.080 Yeah, I mean I died that. You know what I 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.399 loved about it? The breaking character that was maybe my 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:17.399 favorite part. He starts in the audience. Billie Eilish is 0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:20.359 barely holding it together. Margot Robbie isn't holding it together. 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:22.040 She's laughing, and he. 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:25.200 Was just not taking it too seriously and having fun 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:26.000 with it like. 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:29.000 He knows he's On the one hand, he was playing it. 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.520 As seriously as he should have, like giving it as all, 0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:34.040 but you could tell he was almost laughing. 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:37.600 I wish ABC executives hadn't over hyped it. I wish 0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:41.040 they had just they had really been hanging their hat 0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:43.440 on this because I think they realized they failed miserably 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.280 by not giving Barbie its due this year, so they 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:48.480 really over I wish they had just said, you know, 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:53.080 yes he's performing, or you'll but I was expecting something. 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:54.040 They were ceasing to it. 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.160 They were teasing it, they kept saying, and next up 0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:59.080 the performance you've been waiting for Ryan Gosling is ket So. 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.479 ABC I think did a massive injustice to that. But 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:06.399 with that said, give Ryan Gosling so much credit to 0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:09.159 He's not a singer. He's not a singer at all. 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:11.120 Did he even sing in La La Land at all? 0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:11.560 Oh? 0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:15.000 Well, this was interesting because so okay, he started in 0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.280 The Mickey Mouse Club, right, so he actually sang as. 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:19.480 A kid, so did I. But we all go through period. 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:23.399 And then and he said that being Ken kind of 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:26.560 brought him back to those days, those like teenage performance days. 0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:31.679 But he infamously didn't perform when La La Land a 0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.440 couple of years ago was nominated for Best Song he 0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:37.159 sang in the movie, but he did not sing. I 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:41.320 think John Legend sang City of Stars at the Oscars, 0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:43.439 and it was kind of like, wait, why isn't Gosling 0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:44.160 singing the song? 0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:45.879 So I sort of loved that he came back and 0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:46.520 really did sing. 0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:47.440 Okay, So to. 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:49.640 Do that and to not be in a studio where 0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:51.440 you know you're going to have mixing and maybe a 0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:54.000 little help on your voice, this is live in front 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:58.160 of millions but also your peers, and he wasn't just singing. 0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:01.720 He then did this the performance where you know, the 0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:04.159 cowboy had to start and the whole thing where he 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:07.080 was in character. I give him so much credit because 0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:10.359 that's not just you know, a film performance that is 0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:14.320 raw live TV. You are, in the words of John Cena, 0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:16.879 bearing it all. I mean, you're really going for it. 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:18.280 So I give him a hell of a lot of 0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:20.560 credit because he went for it and he nailed it. 0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:21.960 I thought that was a great performance. 0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:26.000 He was doing an ode to gentlemen prefer blondes, the 0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:29.800 Marilyn Monroe pink dress scene. I thought that was with 0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:32.280 all dudes, and yeah, that was a great nod to 0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:33.440 movies past too. 0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:34.840 I thought it was. 0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:36.600 Great, Not like at the end when he jumped back 0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:39.760 down in the audience and Greta Gerwig was singing Emma 0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:40.440 Stone got out. 0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:42.119 I was so smart of him to give a nod 0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:44.119 to those women and to kind of shake hands with 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.960 Emma his La La land co star. I think he did. 0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:50.119 He hit all the right notes of who to nod to. 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:52.919 And you know what, everybody, I was seeing people some 0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:54.960 of like our friends who are reporters, who were in 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:57.800 the room that night saying the whole theater was on 0:25:57.840 --> 0:26:00.879 its feet for that, Like he really speaking of working 0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:04.639 the crowd, like the Hollywood people were up and singing 0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:06.240 with him and actually having fun. 0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:08.280 And I think you felt that at home. 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:11.440 Like if I was gonna nitpick, the only thing I 0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:13.280 would have done was thrown in a couple more like 0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:16.720 fun silly cameos of some kind, like he had Slash 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:18.440 playing with him at the end, which I didn't see 0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:21.240 coming and didn't like totally understand, but great, But I 0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.560 kind of would have. I don't know exactly who it 0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:25.800 would have been. Maybe if you just picked another like 0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:27.320 I would have liked it. If maybe they cut to 0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:30.000 the audience and a few more other very like ken 0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:32.800 like stars like a Chris Emmons or something.

Don't don't show 0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:13.080 me how the magician's doing the trick. I wish they 0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:15.160 would ban that, but you know, that's that's the world 0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:16.840 we live in where all these reporters are up there, 0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:20.159 everyone's recording everything.

I know Jimmy Kimmel was 0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:04.639 making fun of it, and he probably shouldn't have, but 0:28:04.720 --> 0:28:06.879 it is long. And in the middle there is a 0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:10.440 long stretch of awards that you're just you're not you've 0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:12.640 never heard of. And so you go out to the bar. 0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:14.800 And when you go to the bar, you should know, 0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:17.880 or the bathroom they lock the doors. You cannot come 0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:20.119 back in. So if Emma Stone is out there and 0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:23.400 the show starts again, even Emma Stone is locked out. 0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:25.199 She can't just walk back in and try and make 0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:26.760 it back to that award. You have to wait for 0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:30.399 the entire next block to go another commercial break, and 0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:32.600 then you can go back in, you know, so that happens. 0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:34.680 I don't know if this is going to be controversial 0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:37.399 to say Hollywood doesn't like it when you start to. 0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.240 But there are a few awards we could lose. This 0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:43.720 is no shade to these people. Best Animated Short. I 0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:46.480 don't even know where to see these. These aren't in theaters. 0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:50.560 No one watching at home, like really knows, like as 0:28:50.640 --> 0:28:53.520 heard of or even Ken's like, how would you see? 0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:55.920 I mean, you'd have to find it. The Best Animated Short, 0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:56.600 where do I get that? 0:28:56.840 --> 0:28:59.400 Let's look at the Emmys. 0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.560 Are Best Documentary Short. I'll say that too. 0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:06.840 Best even best Documentary, Like here's the thing, here's the thing. 0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:07.360 I love a doction. 0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:09.480 Well here's well, here's the thing, and I do too. 0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:16.840 And but the Oscars, the telecast is to please the masses. 0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:20.240 Look at what you're trying to do, so stop trying 0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:24.560 to please industry insiders by having them on your telecast. 0:29:24.800 --> 0:29:26.680 The Emmys are a good good point of this. There's 0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:29.440 some great awards that are handed out at the Creative 0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:31.840 Arts Emmys. The night before they hand out a ton 0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:34.840 of Emmys. I'm not saying, don't celebrate these people. Don't 0:29:34.840 --> 0:29:37.920 decorate them and tell them how great they are. Do 0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:39.800 we need to see it over three and a half hours. 0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:44.040 You could lose five awards and tighten that thing up 0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:45.800 and make it a great award show. 0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:48.400 I just think, know your audience and these people can't 0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:50.480 even find this content, so how would this so. 0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:52.800 Give them oscars. I'm not saying don't celebrate them, just 0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:54.280 do it the night before. If you guys are so 0:29:54.360 --> 0:29:57.440 impressed with each other and yourselves, that's fine. 0:29:57.520 --> 0:29:59.440 I mean last night there was a little bit where, 0:29:59.800 --> 0:30:02.040 like we said, Emily Blent and Ryan Goslin kind of 0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:05.040 gave a nod to the stunt community, and I thought, 0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:07.200 you know what, that's an award. I would actually rather 0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:12.440 see his best stunt oscar. Think about Tom Cruise jumping 0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:15.040 off the Clibb would have won it right with the 0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:18.880 motorcycle this year in Mission Impossible, like you know fast, 0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:22.240 like there's an incredible stunt work and people at home 0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:35.440 actually see that in movies and theaters. 0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:40.600 Last thing, I wanted a question for you has has 0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:43.920 something changed in that award season has gotten so arduous 0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:47.000 and so long, and maybe so much social media or something. 0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:51.480 A lot of people seem tired last night. Christopher Nolan 0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:54.560 has been so charismatic and just crushing it all year. 0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:56.840 When he got up for Oppenheimer, It's not like he 0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.040 was bad, but it wasn't like the guy I've been 0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:00.520 seeing at the bath and all. 0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:01.200 These other speeches. 0:31:01.280 --> 0:31:01.480 I know. 0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:04.360 Same thing with Robert Downey Junior. He has been on fire, 0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:06.720 and I still think he did great last night. 0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:08.120 He was fun, and he was. 0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:10.800 Jus naturally charismatic person. 0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.680 Well just he's so easy to like, he's so likable. 0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:18.560 But I just noticed everybody seemed a little lethargic last night. 0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:19.760 There's a little fatigue. 0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:22.800 I just think, infamously, the Oscars is the end and 0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:24.600 people are tired. I mean, when I was at et, 0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:26.840 we would always be like, I hate to say it, 0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:29.880 because the Oscars is the big one, but we'd be like, 0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:32.200 it's the hardest carpet to do because you get there 0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:35.560 and nope, everybody's like, there's no more promoting left for 0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:37.240 them to be done. The votes are locked in, so 0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:40.680 they don't really want to do interviews because they're tired, 0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:43.520 they're burnt out, they're nervous, and like the interview doesn't 0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:45.320 really get them anything anymore because. 0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:47.120 The campaigning is over, the votes are locked. 0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:50.600 Right, And yeah, they've been doing interviews and making speeches 0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:54.320 and getting dressed like all for months now and people 0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:57.640 are tired. Yes, absolutely, Like you've also kind of you know, 0:31:57.640 --> 0:31:59.680 if you're on a winning streak, like Robert Donney Junior, 0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:01.960 you've probably made your best jokes, like you're a little 0:32:02.000 --> 0:32:03.719 what else am I going to say in this speech? 0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:06.160 So yeah, I think that the fatigue is very real. 0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:09.080 I wish Christopher Nolan had mentioned Barbie. 0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:10.520 You made that point last night. You're so right. 0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:12.720 I just thought he had a moment to say something 0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:15.240 about Greta Gerwig It, even even if he didn't mention 0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:19.080 grete for not being nominated. Just Barbenheimer, right, just just 0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:21.400 mentioned this phenomenon that he was a part of and 0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:22.520 his movie was a part of. 0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:23.840 And look, I get it. 0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:25.920 It was his moment, so he thinked his people and 0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:29.280 it was all self indulgent, which I totally understand. He deserved, 0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:31.120 you know, he earned that, But I just thought, what 0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:34.600 a great moment to Margot Robbie sitting there, Greta Gerwig 0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:39.360 sitting there. Obviously, Oppenheimer A rising tide definitely lifted that 0:32:39.440 --> 0:32:40.200 boat as well. 0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:41.920 Why not in that moment, I. 0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:43.640 Thought you were so right. I thought it was a 0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:49.240 miss to not like, to not speak to people at home. 0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:52.200 Yeah, and as like, like a lot of people pointed out, 0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:54.960 I mean the turned out the person giving him that 0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.920 award last night because it was the anniversary. 0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:00.840 Of was the list, Yes, Steven Spielberg. 0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:04.400 I mean, let's talk about that moment, Steven Spielberg giving 0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:08.000 Christopher Nolan his first Best Director Oscar. A lot of 0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:10.840 people were saying, Wow, this is kind of a passing 0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:11.240 of the. 0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:12.680 Torch moment in the industry. 0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:18.120 And I thought Christopher Nolan in that moment had an 0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:22.480 opportunity to say something about, like just to the people 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.520 at home, like thank you for coming to see this movie, 0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:29.120 for coming back to the theaters, for having you know, 0:33:29.160 --> 0:33:31.959 for making this movie a huge box office hit, and 0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:34.760 like and yeah, and to acknowledge Barbenheimer and like the 0:33:34.760 --> 0:33:37.400 fun and joy of the movies. He said something like 0:33:37.760 --> 0:33:39.840 we're one hundred years into this business. Who knows where 0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:42.120 it'll go from here, But I wanted something like a 0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:46.840 bit happier and like like positive and hopeful, And I 0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:48.640 agree it would have been It would have been a 0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:52.560 cool thing to do because really the gals from Barbie, 0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:55.280 they were the ones who like, like remember they went 0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:58.000 and bought tickets to Oppenheimer, like they sort of started 0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.480 the lets support each other thing, and it would have 0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:02.400 been nice for him to put a button on that. 0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:03.640 In a full circle way. 0:34:03.760 --> 0:34:08.520 Before we wrap this up, any significant misses. You know, 0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:11.760 everyone goes back in history. It's like, Okay, here's here's missus, 0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:15.040 here's what IFFs. As I as I look at the 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:18.359 categories last night, do you think there were any significant 0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:19.040 miss I. 0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:20.759 Would have liked Lily Gladstone to have won. 0:34:20.880 --> 0:34:23.120 I mean, like I said, I haven't seen either movie, 0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.920 but I just you know, for a Native American woman 0:34:26.960 --> 0:34:30.920 to finally win, especially after the Academy's history, Like it 0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:33.360 was really beautiful to see that song from Killers of 0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:33.960 the Flower Moon. 0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:36.279 P over All the movie was pretty ignored as far 0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:37.680 as far as winning last Night. 0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:40.799 Yeah, but that movie in Maes show really didn't win 0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:42.600 anything nominations wise. 0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:44.520 Or Bradley Cooper Man, he really tried to give it 0:34:44.600 --> 0:34:47.960 up in the press and tried to earn and then 0:34:48.000 --> 0:34:50.120 all he did was get baked by taking his mom 0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:52.200 to another show. 0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:55.080 Yeah, so I thought, you know, I thought that was 0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:58.239 a miss. What about you? 0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:01.560 I liked Oppenheim again. I think the biggest miss was 0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:03.800 just in Greta Gerwig not being nominated. 0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:04.560 Would she have won? 0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:07.680 I think still, Christopher Nolan, that was such an epic 0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:10.040 movie and it was so brilliant. You can't argue with 0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:14.279 Oppenheimer and Christopher Nolan. I just wish Greta Gerwig had 0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:15.960 gotten that recognition. 0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:16.800 She definitely should have. 0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:18.959 And I think Margot Robbie should have been nominated as well, 0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:21.160 and you know, should I think Emma Stone is a 0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.080 very popular champion. I think she's a wonderful star to 0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:30.600 have up and great, you know, I think critically acclaim performance. Yeah, 0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:33.280 supporting actor, supporting actress. 0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:38.400 Robert Donny Junior, and Davine. Yeah, I mean, I think. 0:35:40.080 --> 0:35:42.160 Maybe the easiest lay up for all of us. We 0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:44.600 all wanted it, we all needed it, and the Academy 0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:46.840 actually gave it to us. So, you know what, kudos 0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:49.200 to the Academy for just giving us what we wanted 0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:51.759 for once. Yeah, we all wanted to see Robert Donny 0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:52.760 Junior on stage. 0:35:52.840 --> 0:35:54.279 I think we all right. 0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:57.440 Greta not being nominated was the miss Everybody kind of 0:35:57.440 --> 0:35:59.400 felt like this was Christopher Nolan getting a bit of 0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:01.719 a career Oscar moment, and so it was going to 0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:02.120 be his. 0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:05.200 And Killian Murphy very deserving as well. You could have 0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.040 gone to and you know, a couple of different directions. 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:09.880 I think some people thought Paul Giamani was going to 0:36:09.880 --> 0:36:12.359 get the career Oscar for the Holdovers because he got 0:36:12.360 --> 0:36:14.960 missed in Sideways and his speech would have been great. 0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:17.879 But no one's complaining about Killian Murphy right. A couple 0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:20.640 other little wins. I did like seeing them. The writer 0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:26.200 for American Fiction Coor Jefferson, what a great Hollywood story, 0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:28.680 Like he was a TV writer. This is like the 0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:30.160 first feature film he's written. 0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:32.080 And I thought he made such a good point. 0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:34.200 He got up there and said, look, he kind of 0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:36.440 spoke to the industry and said, you know, just so 0:36:36.440 --> 0:36:39.279 everybody knows, like the next Corsees he's out there, the 0:36:39.280 --> 0:36:42.200 next two Ever's out there, instead of making one two 0:36:42.239 --> 0:36:45.920 hundred million dollar movie because movies have gotten so expensive. 0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:47.759 It is crazy to me, like if you. 0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:50.160 Think about it, I mean anyone, but you got some 0:36:50.239 --> 0:36:53.319 attention this year because it only costs like twenty million 0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:55.080 dollars to make, Like movies didn't. 0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:55.600 Used to cost. 0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:57.040 That's normal, that was normal. 0:36:57.280 --> 0:36:58.640 Yes, they're so expensive now. 0:36:58.640 --> 0:37:00.759 And he said, instead of making one two hundred million 0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:04.560 dollar movie, make ten twenty million dollar movies. And you 0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:07.160 might be surprised how it goes because this was a 0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:11.440 little movie that became nominated at the Oscars. And I 0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:13.080 loved that he said that, and it was such a 0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:17.040 good point. So that was a nice little moment and 0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:19.720 I hope people listen to him. And then I also 0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:22.680 loved like kind of speaking like Ryan Gosling, I'm not 0:37:22.719 --> 0:37:26.160 taking himself too seriously. The moment where Kate McKinnon and 0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:30.799 America Frera presented Best Documentary and they just did a 0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:33.840 silly bit about Kate McKinnon thinking that Jurassic Park movies 0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:37.800 were documentaries, and then cut to Stephen Spielberg in the audience, 0:37:38.440 --> 0:37:41.560 and Kate McKinnon made a joke where she said, like, 0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:45.040 it's go watch it because it's funny, But she ultimately 0:37:45.040 --> 0:37:47.319 made a joke of wait, but to whom have I 0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:49.239 been sending my tasteful. 0:37:48.800 --> 0:37:50.240 Nudes and Steve. 0:37:50.360 --> 0:37:53.640 They cut to Stephen Spielberg and he pointed himself, and 0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:56.360 I just thought, I love this man for like just 0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:57.000 have fun. 0:37:57.080 --> 0:37:59.360 You know, that's what it's about. The movies are supposed 0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:00.520 to be about fun. 0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:04.440 Entertainment, yes, connection, yes, statement making, but like a little 0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:04.879 fun too. 0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:09.160 And I loved the audience was set perfectly. And this 0:38:09.280 --> 0:38:12.719 is silly, but the director whoever directed last Night, had 0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:18.320 everybody staged perfectly. You had Scorsese, Spielberg, and Christopher Nolan 0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:21.479 all lined up. When you took a shot of one, 0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:25.520 you saw three geniuses, three legends. When you went over 0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:27.880 to Margot Robbie who was sitting behind, but you know, 0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:31.799 there was Emily Blunt and there was Ryan Gosling. So 0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:34.719 up front was Robert Downey Junior, and then you saw 0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:37.439 Bradley Cooper. They stacked the seat, they stacked the seats well, 0:38:37.480 --> 0:38:39.360 and they were there and it was maybe it was 0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:41.719 lit better, but I felt like I saw stars last 0:38:41.840 --> 0:38:44.279 night when we went to the audience shots, and that 0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:45.239 was well done. 0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:48.080 It wasn't the Golden globes where you were like, or 0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:50.879 was it the maybe I remember thinking. 0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:53.400 Actually Lobs was a Disaster of Us story the Globes 0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:53.960 in the Emmys. 0:38:54.000 --> 0:38:56.840 The Globes was like the tightest they've ever packed that 0:38:56.920 --> 0:38:59.200 room this year with the tables, no one could walk 0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:02.080 around them. And then at the Emmys the audience kept 0:39:02.080 --> 0:39:04.759 being empty, Like I was like, where is everyone? So 0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:08.080 you're right the Oscars, maybe they took note. They stacked 0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:10.359 that room. There was never an empty seat and all 0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:11.400 the stars were together. 0:39:11.920 --> 0:39:13.000 I really thought, yeah, maybe. 0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:14.319 I don't know if they had a new director this 0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:16.640 year or anew but like just production wise, it was 0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:17.680 very well done. 0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:21.520 It felt fresh, it felt good. It felt good because 0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:23.520 we went back to the movies this year and then 0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:27.799 we celebrated movies we saw, so overall, I give it 0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:28.520 high marks. 0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:29.000 Again. 0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:32.000 When the ratings come out today, my guess is they're 0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:34.640 going to be up ten to twenty percent, as they 0:39:34.640 --> 0:39:37.400 should be because the movies were up ten to twenty percent. 0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:41.360 Well, and because the Big Barbie and Oppenheimer. I mean truly, 0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:44.600 I think it's Barbenheimer came to a close at the 0:39:44.600 --> 0:39:48.040 Oscars last night. I'll see it again. Oppenheimer was the 0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:52.560 first box office hit in twenty years to win Best Picture. Academy. 0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:55.080 Take note, if the ratings are up. People want to 0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:58.480 watch a show about the movies they went to see. 0:39:58.760 --> 0:40:03.319 We in this episode with question, oh, who won the night? 0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:07.640 Who won the night? Oh, I wish you'd prepped me 0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:09.760 for this. You have an answer going thinking. 0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:13.520 Award season obviously, Oppenheimer at Christopher Nolan. But I'm gonna 0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:15.560 go bizarrely, I think Ryan Gosling. 0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:16.160 Yeah. 0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:18.799 I know he's a megastar, but he's just so. He's 0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:21.120 he's shown another side of himself, and I think he's 0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:25.000 endeared himself to not only industry, but also to us, 0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:27.080 the fans and the viewers as a just a real 0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:29.960 guy and a funny guy that'll poke fun at himself. 0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:32.839 And I think Ryan Gosling won. 0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:36.400 It was a big career booster moment for him. This 0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:39.359 this whole thing. Yeah, I mean I don't. By the way, 0:40:39.360 --> 0:40:43.400 a lot of people were like, where's his wife, Ava Mendez? 0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:45.120 I don't know. 0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:47.600 Did you see the tweets she sent out immediately it 0:40:47.640 --> 0:40:49.640 was great about get home and put the kids to bed. 0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:51.480 Well, okay, so did you think it was great? 0:40:51.760 --> 0:40:53.319 Well? I thought it was cute that she said that 0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:53.600 it was. 0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:56.560 It reminded me of what was the last oh, when 0:40:56.600 --> 0:41:00.360 Ryan Reynolds was on and Blake Lively, yes, you know, 0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:02.920 tweeted at him about like, you know, when he was, 0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:04.640 you know, off doing his thing, and I think I 0:41:04.640 --> 0:41:05.319 thought that was cute. 0:41:05.520 --> 0:41:08.040 Well, she's getting on a backlash for it because people 0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:10.360 are like, wow, well, first of all, a lot of 0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:13.040 people are saying she's trying to do Ryan Reynolds Blake 0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:16.000 Lively but not succeeding. And then a lot of people 0:41:16.040 --> 0:41:17.440 are like, well, why weren't you just there. 0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:18.040 I don't know. 0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:20.399 They've never been a couple to even though they met 0:41:20.440 --> 0:41:22.799 on a movie set, they've never been a couple to 0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:25.759 do red carpets together. I think she's just pulled back, 0:41:25.800 --> 0:41:29.520 and that's her personal choice. I will admit, maybe selfishly, 0:41:30.239 --> 0:41:31.880 I would have liked to see her there last night. 0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:34.560 I don't know how often your partner performs at the Oscars, 0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:37.560 but it would have I would have gone. I would 0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:39.320 have all. I mean, I felt like it would have 0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:40.800 been cool to see her there last night. And I 0:41:40.840 --> 0:41:42.359 don't know why she wasn't. 0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:44.279 I know, I guess in the industry, I also see 0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:47.080 this as a work night, and you know, especially for Ryan, 0:41:47.440 --> 0:41:49.160 like you're not going to be hanging with him. It's 0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:50.719 not going to be, you know, so I guess I 0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:52.080 give her a little grace and I know that she's 0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:54.959 home watching the kids or whatever. So I don't know. Yeah, 0:41:55.080 --> 0:41:57.319 I could see it both ways, but it didn't bother me. 0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:59.960 I didn't think, oh, but yeah, thank you. By the way, 0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:01.839 if I ever perform at the Oscars, you'll be I'll 0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:03.560 be there, and vice versa. 0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:06.640 So you think Ryan Gosling won the night? 0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:08.640 Yeah, I think Ryan Gosling wins the night. Even though 0:42:08.680 --> 0:42:11.759 he didn't win an oscar. No he didn't, but I 0:42:11.800 --> 0:42:13.000 still think he won the night. 0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:18.800 You know what I'm going to say that Gosh, I 0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:21.520 think you know, I think movies won the night. I 0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:23.319 think that for the first time in a while, like 0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:24.920 I've said, yeah. 0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:25.719 The industry actually won. 0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:32.960 The movies were actually the memorable from the Night before Tonight. 0:42:33.080 --> 0:42:35.640 The last ten years, I can't really name that many 0:42:36.160 --> 0:42:38.880 of the Best Picture winners, but I will remember that 0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:41.319 you're Oppenheimer won and that Barbie was up for a lot, 0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:44.080 and I'll remember Barbenheimer, and I hope that next year 0:42:44.080 --> 0:42:45.040 the Oscars do the same. 0:42:45.800 --> 0:42:48.759 With a new host, John Mullane. Maline is hosting Thank 0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:51.080 you for tuning in and hopefully you watch the oscars 0:42:51.120 --> 0:42:52.839 and if not, well, I think we just gave you 0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:56.400 a solid recap. We will talk to you again next 0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:58.440 time because we have a lot more to talk about. 0:42:58.760 --> 0:42:59.600 Thanks for listening. 0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:02.399 Hellow us on Instagram at the most dramatic pod ever, 0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:04.600 and make sure to write us a review and leave 0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:05.520 us five stars. 0:43:06.000 --> 0:43:07.040 I'll talk to you next time.
