I think everyone did until the best director award.

She's a film maker too so we might see her in the future.

I'd absolutely recommend it - for a film full of layered social commentary and dark moments, it's probably one of the most fun films that I saw last year (which sounds like an odd thing to say, but hopefully you'll see what I mean if you do watch it)

I'll definitely give it a watch then.

I loved it. Glad it wasn't predictable and we got a full shockers. Great year.

[LaLaLand]

Yeah it was brilliant tonight! Lots of shockers, very pleased for Parasite.

Hopefully next year we just get a more diverse selection eh?

Here's to a "new year" for movies!

[Vanessa]

So happy for Joaquin Phoenix winning his Oscar. He's been a favourite of mine ever since I saw him on Gladiator. He was incredible in the that movie as well.

[Ammi]

...well done to Parasite.....I know a few people who’ve watched it and they’ve totally raved about it...

[Ammi]

...I bought Judy on DVD on Saturday...so I’m thinking that was a good investment, thank you Renee...I can sell it on EBay now for lots of bucks...

[Ammi]

...the frocks...let me see, I haven’t seen them all...Olivia Colman, gorgeous/elegant/timeless... Saoirse Ronan, elegant and beautiful, like a swan... Janelle Monáe, simply perfection...Billy Porter, not for a Tesco late night shop but not too much for the Oscars/lovely...Florence Pugh, no...a layer too many for me...Charlize, gorgeous...Gal, well hello Audrey......

[Ammi]

...I’m pretty sure that Leonardo wore that Tuxedo last year...that has to be an Oscar no, no...

[Ammi]

...ughhh, Salma Hayek also......

[Nicky91]

very shocking this, you'd think Once upon a time in hollywood would win, or Joker, or even the Bafta winner 1917

but this Parasite wins, also first time ever a foreign movie winning best film


congrats to Joaquin though for best actor, very well deserved since he played Joker fab

[Alf]

I didn't watch, but let me see if I can guess what happened in the speeches.

<Climate change bad, but I came here in a private jet
<We need to help the poor, but not with my millions, those are mine
<Everything is racist, even cornflakes
<No borders...apart from the ones in my gated communities.
<Orange man bad


Am I close?

Sounds like a fun life you've got there, Alf

Do you dislike it when I take the pi55 out of the elites?

So, a foreign language film from Hong Kong wins. Hardly nobody in the English language speaking World has seen it and hardly nobody in the English language speaking World will see it.

Something you'll never see in the Hong Kong film awards: An English language film winning.

[Twosugars]

Taika Waititi backstage after winning for best adapted screenplay for Jojo Rabbit offered a commentary on contemporary far-right extremism, saying that, at the end of the second world war:
“if you were at Nazi, you would go to jail. Now you’re a Nazi, feel free to have a rally down in the square with your mates.”

Did he have anything to say about far left, actual extremism?

This happened just yesterday, just your average bit of far left terrorism. Did he mention this extremism?

Thankfully there's a lot of people who have seen it and will see it because they aren't scared of reading subtitles.

Imagine being so enthralled by your own tribalism that you employ whataboutism to defend neo-nazis.

It's nothing to do with being scared of them, it's just that I want to sit back and watch a film, not read. If I could speak Mandarin, I'd be fine, but like the large majority of the Western World, I don't.
