1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: Yes the Oscars yesterday. I remember when I was at

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: school it was the most exciting day because we'd all

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: be wondering what's happening with the Oscars, and we'd watch

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: it on TV at night because we'd seen all the movies.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: It was just the most glamorous thing. And now I

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: think also because with COVID a lot of the movies

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: weren't seen, I don't know who's who and what's what anymore,

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: So getting emotional, I'll talk you through what happened. This

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: is a big turn up for the books. Apparently, normally

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: the Oscars end with the presentation the Big denu more

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: Foreign Film. No, the big denuement is the announcement of

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: the Best Picture. This year they decided they would end

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: with the Best Actor award because apparently they thought it

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: would be Chadwick Boseman, who has passed away, star of

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: Black Panther, and mar Rainey's Black Bottom. It was the

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: film you Pulling your Face. That's the name of the film,

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: Rainey's Black Bottom. Yeah, any passed. He marries the bottom.

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: Of course, three men in a black Bottom.

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty sure that would be on the internet.

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: That's already done.

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: So the speculation was that they would have a simple

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: situation of the one they had. It might have been

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: at the Golden Globes where Chadwick Boseman's widow makes a

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: very incredible speech and it's a big emotional moment. Speculation

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: is that that's what they thought they'd get. So they

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: saved all the awards. They announced Best Picture, but they

28
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: announced Best Actor. It didn't go to Chadwick Boseman. It

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: went to Anthony Hopkins, who wasn't there. Oh no, so

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: he was over in England and it's like four am

31
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: in the morning. Whatever fo a morning. I've got messages

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: on my phone. Who's calling? I'm looking for Little men

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: and a lady? But four when's my agent calling? So

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: it was a bit of a fizzer. But the and

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: also it wasn't fair because the director of the film,

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: the film that won Best Film was No Madland, apparently

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: an incredible film, and the best director she also one

38
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: for Best Director, was a Chinese woman. First time a

39
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: person I think a person I'm a non American person,

40
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: I think is one a non white person. That's right.

41
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: And also only the second time a woman has won

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: her name is Chowi Zoo and she made a beautiful speech.

43
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: When I was growing up in China, my dad and

44
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: I used to play this game. We would memorize classic

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: Chinese poems and tacks, and there's one that I remember

46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: so the early and the first phrase goes yngju chu

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: sing bensha people at birth are inherently good and sorry

48
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: to have to.

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: Chop her off. But it's also significant because the oscars

50
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: weren't shown in China or in Hong Kong because of her.

51
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: The Chinese wouldn't like her. She gave an interview in

52
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen when she spoke of the hardship of growing

53
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: up in China, and so she's persona non grata in China.

54
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: So it was a historic moment, and in a way

55
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: it was almost overlooked because they ended with her now

56
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: the Best Actor Award. A couple of speeches caught my

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: eye on the way through. This is a seventy three

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: year old oscar in a Yun Yun Yun. She won

59
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Manari.

60
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: Mister brad Pitt finally nice to meet you or you?

61
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: Where were you? What we were? Finnerman in Kosa stvery

62
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: honored to beat.

63
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: You, trying to hit on Brad Peat, Brad Pitt. And

64
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: here's Daniel Kaluja, who well he was. He thanked his

65
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: parents in an unusual way.

66
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: My mom, my dad, they had sex. It's amazing, I said,

67
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm here, I mean and.

68
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: They crossed to his mother's face in the audience going.

69
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: Oh good, there's three minute a black potpot when you

70
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: need it. Jonesy and Amanda's generation
