Cant believe they left Tim Conway out of the memorial.

A lot of diversity this year. Of course they are already whining about who didn't get a nomination and those who did were in the wrong category. Are they never happy? LOL. The only film I saw this year that did get a nom was Mank. I do want to see Promising Young Woman.
Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.
I see this year the Oscars will be on 25th of April 2021.
Will it be in time of covid-19 free?

Last night 93rd Academy Awards on April 25th 2021
were the lowest seen ever.

Couldn't be bothered watching it in real time, but what I did see later was pretty pathetic.

Didn't catch it for the first time in years. I did see and hope Mank would win. It's also the only film I saw in that category. Guess I'll go check out who won what since I have no idea about that either.

I read they left Chadwick Boseman out of the memorial tribute.
I saw Nomadland, it seemed to jump from one scene to the next without any real structure. Sad story though. Mank was a film I really enjoyed, that would have been my choice for best picture.

and gave up on the Oscars when Crash beat Brokeback and Call Me By Your Name lost
Chris Rock is the best.(that is all)

Chris Rock handled that situation with class and style. Will Smith and his wife have issues, mostly hers.

I don't blame Will one single bit for slapping Chris Rock.....he should have "given him five across the lips", as Redd Foxx would have said on "Sanford & Son", for talking about his wife. I feel bad for Will's wife because she can't help it that she has a condition (Alopecia) that causes her hair to fall out! Goodness! Do people just not give a damn about each other anymore at all?!?!?!?

Should Chris Rock have said what he said about Jada?, No, Should Will Smith hit him, no, he should have taken him aside and said hey, that wasn't cool what you said about my wife, however Jada came out and talked about it when it was going on, showing off her head, even did a red table talk about it. SHe also laughed when Will hit Chris, not only that but Will was laughing up until he looked over at Jada and saw the look on her face that seemed to say you going to let him get away with that.
From what I saw online, a lot of people only found out she had it when this happened and unless you were a fan, it wasn't common knowledge.
I wonder if they thought initially that he would be applauded/celebrated for it because here was a man 'defending his woman' but it instead backfired. What is surprising is there hasn't been much damage control apart from the initial sorry then the longer post after it was revealed an inquiry was taking place.

Overall, I thought it ran smoothly and Jimmy Kimmel did a great job. Some things that bugged me:
Alleged singer songwriter Tems in her white gown. What I found annoying, not to mention inconsiderate as hell was all of that gd bridal-like illusion tulle encircling her head like she thought she was some vision in a cloud. I kept thinking about the poor man sitting behind her in the audience who probably couldn’t see a gd thing because of her pretentious couture. Later I saw that it was actually a little Asian lady seated behind her who was no bigger than a 12 year old trying to dodge glances around Tems’ head. Oh, and who didn’t love watching Temt just sir there posing her little ass off like she was all that and a bag of chips.
What a dumbass !
Another thing is that I’m sure every nominee is told in advance, “should you win, you will have 45 seconds to give thanks etc, no more “ so I found it very selfish of some individuals who were part of an ensemble win who then proceeded to take the entire time allotted for themselves so that once one of the others say of a trio got to the microphone it was too late and they were embarrassed in front of everyone. I mention this because I saw it happen 3 freakin times.
Lastly their ‘In Memoriam’ section: the cameraman backed away at one point so you couldn’t even see who the shit they were honoring, let alone focusing on Lenny Kravitz instead (of those who’ve passed away in the past year). Being PC as always they show an actress like Mary Alice whose majority of work was in television over say Paul Sorvino and Stella Stevens both of whom had longer careers in entertainment and in big production honest to god movies. Not right.

I think all awards shows should get rid of the "in Memoriam"
because you will always leave someone out that people love
and miss.

If newspapers and magazines can keep a list of celebs who have passed on so can the Academy. They could mention or show film clips or a collage of them all. That said, they may have left Robert Blake and others out due to their criminal or supposed criminal actions.
The whole thing is political, and being PC. It's all about diversity, and not offending anyone. So most of the wins were PC. I did see the In Memoriam and thought the same thing, a full screen for a TV actress and no mention of Paul or Stella! Mira Sorvino called them out on that. Disgraceful.

The majority of award shows are cons now with the winners not being those who actually deserved it but rather whose people got there first with the bribes/gifts. For a while a few thought the Oscars were legit but when the Weinstein stuff came out, quite a few voters commented about him 'persuading' them to vote for his films/actors instead of who they actually wanted to.
Most critics lists prior to the awards said who they thought should or deserved to win. None of their picks won. Post awards here is their breakdown.
Best Supporting Actress : Jamie Lee Curtis Sentimental Career win. Should have won Kerry Condon.
Best Supporting Actor: Key Huy Quan PC Comeback win. Should have won Brendan Gleeson
Best Actor: Brendan Fraser Sentimental Comeback win. Should Have won Bill Nighy.
Best Actress: Michelle Yeoh PC win. Should have won Cate Blanchett (they were unanimous in that).
Nothing has changed since Harvey, you can still buy, coerce and possibly threaten people to vote for the people "they" want to win.
