The Academy Awards

[Wenders]

Off-screen, they gave Hans Zimmer the Oscar for Best Score for Dune.

Now I wonder how the fork this is only Hans Zimmer's second Academy Award. (First since The Lion King.) I think half of my Scores spotify playlist is his work. He's done a lot of scores for Christopher Nolan.

Also, I have the same quibble about us getting a great movie about the Williams' sisters...dad.

Ariana DuBose of West Side Story is Best Supporting Actress
Same role Rita Moreno won it for

Ariana is amazing. She might be one of the biggest stars to come out of Hamilton.

Get every little girl between the ages of 3 and 12 to the TV ... they're going to do "We Don't Talk About Bruno" live.

 

[Wenders]

I volunteer to help Regina Hall with those, ahem, backstage COVID tests.

 

[JakeandElwood]

I could've gone for some longer clips of the sound and cinematography nominees instead of the stupid COVID test sketch.

 

[Wenders]

Encanto was beautiful and the music really blew me away. Apparently, though, a lot of people thought their nominated song was We Don't Talk About Bruno.

That's literally what they promoed going into commercial ... !

 

[Wenders]

Three of the "Top 5 Cheers" are from superhero movies?!

Y'all fired. GTFO. I agree with the Avengers: Endgame clip but come on. No Star Wars? No Lord of the Rings? Simba ascending Pride Rock in the OG Lion King?

That's literally what they promoed going into commercial ... !

Ah, hence my confusion. I may have been on a kitchen run at that point.

Best Supporting Actor is Troy Kotsur, the first deaf male to win, for Coda

His speech had me in a puddle of tears, plus the audience reaction? Beautiful.
