[Conan O’Brien has been announced
as the host of next year’s Oscars.

The former late-night host and comedian
will host for the first time after
Jimmy Kimmel turned it down.
The current late-night host had hosted
four times, taking on the
2017 and 2018 ceremonies
and then the most recent two.

“I did two years and it went well,”
Kimmel said during a podcast earlier this year.
”I did another two years, it went well.
I figured I’d take a little break.”

an opera singer, a woman in a club,

Most of the time, the stuff nominated is stuff virtually no one but the snobbiest of snobs has seen. This year is a rare one where most people will at least have heard of more than half the films nominated for best picture.

Although despite the audience accessibility, I'm not sure the likes of Wicked, Emilia Perez, or even The Substance (which pains me to say, as I'm a big horror fan and I did like it) are particularly deserving of being included in that roster.

Also what the hell is Jimmy Kimmel talking about when he says his four years as host went well. Hasn't the Oscars rather notoriously experienced a diminishing viewership over the last few years? How is it the case that it 'went well' for him? :laugh:

I thought The Substance was okay. It was good for what it was. But I think pople went overboard with their praise. One critic said it is the greatest movie of all time. Excessive. :p

But it was only on Sky Cinema
but then the USA owner (NBC/Comcast)
of Sky UK
Stopped there the long night
as it was costing too much.


So now you can record it Free
on ITV1HD overnight.

J.Ross starting at 10:30PM
is much too early
as it goes live at 1AM or 2AM to the USA

So I will Record it
and Fast Forward J.Ross.

…I think that Emilia Perez has just started streaming on Prime so I might give it a watch…I like to try to watch at least some of the Oscar nominated movies before the show…I rarely get to watch them all, though…

[Livia]

It's a pretty pointless exercise in my view. Lots of luvvies patting each other on the back while people more deserving of awards and accolades are fighting fires outside.

Top Actor Wendell Pierce
spoke on CNN HD Table for 5
(A copy of FoxNewsHD the Five)


He made a great point
One Actor is up for an Oscar
but he can not speak in accents
so A.I. took over.

He stated that Actor should not be up for an Oscar


I agree with Wendell

I agree too. An actor who can't do an accent is like a data entry clerk who can't use a keyboard.

the oscars is just a dreadful show of people patting their friends on the back saying how wonderful they are .... only in america

Sean Baker
wins Best Director Oscar for Anora


https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/mar/03/oscar-sean-baker-best-director-anora

[LaLaLand]

I didn't really think Anora was "amazing". It's a good film but I didn't expect all of these huge accolades for it. Not at all.

For it to win Best Film over something as colossal and poignant as The Brutalist is crazy but I think this year the judges really decided to favour indie films over the more big budget ones.

I was rooting for Demi to win Best Actress.

[Low-budget comedy Anora has triumphed at this
year’s Oscars winning five Oscars,
including best picture and best actress
while Adrien Brody took home best actor.

Anora, which follows Mikey Madison’s sex worker
who gets married to the son of
a Russian oligarch,
premiered at the Cannes film festival last year
and has become the fourth Palme d’Or
winner to be named best picture.]

Substance is really really weird but good as well, weirdly compelling viewing. I watched the first half an hour of Wicked but I turned it off after that, could be I'm just not really a big musical lover, not sure, I did enjoy the original Wizard of Oz despite that but I feel like there was less singing in that? :laugh:

i think i'm just jaded with the current movies, i've looked a few times, and i just don't fancy watching any of them

i just watched 30 mins of Anora and it seems to be pretty much a soft porn movie. I'm quite surprised it's an oscar winner :laugh:
