Oscars '21

[krtek a houby]

It's that time again for laughter, tears, bewilderment and gushing luvvies.

Or is it? Obviously it's a truncated effort due to the times and audiences are supposedly down, and the war on woke brigade are upset because of representation.

But here's the graun feed (and well done Daniel Kaluuya)

There's been some utterly toe-curling moments. I couldn't work out whether Angela Basset was taking the piss introducing this memoriam section. She decided to deliver it in some kind of hammed up pumped up Shakespearian voice... painful

I will say this, this is by the far the most diverse oscars ive ever seen

That's going to drive the usual suspects barmy.

The memoriam section is a weird one, anyway. It's hard to know what tone to present it in and for the audience, do you clap or maintain a dignified silence in case the camera catches you scratching your nostrils or something.

That's if there is an audience, this year.

Yeah, that was very weird - and then the actual in-memoriam segment whipped past at 100mph too, you barely had time to read some of the names.

Very diverse if the summary on the news is to be believed.

A woman of colour wins the best director award, about time probably.

Probably? Only the second time a woman has ever won it which is pretty disgraceful really.

I enjoyed this year's ceremony more than the usual ones. Glad they had a DJ (Questlove) instead of that awful orchestra music they typically have. Union Station was also a welcome break from the gaudy Dolby Theatre. Less shit jokes too. In terms of my predictions, I got all 8 correct (in the other categories I hadn't seen enough of the movies to call it, or just wasn't sure enough) - I wish I'd put an accumulator bet on them!

What proportion of directors are women? That’s probably more disgraceful.

Of course.

Is it the "Midnight in Paris" effect or do previous generations always seem more glamorous and better than the current one?
