2024 Academy Awards (Oscars) Red Carpet & Ceremony

Best Visual Effects: "Godzilla Minus One"

I remember seeing how excited they were to get nominated so I'm thrilled they won. I haven't seen the movie but I love this for them regardless.

DANG. How short is Danny DeVito? I know Arnold Schwarzenegger is tall, but I think he’s normal tall - around 6’2”.

4 feet 10 inches (1.47 metres) tall.

I don't know what you're talking about because they look so similar that they were cast in a movie called Twins.

 

[Parsley Sage]

And it should have WON Best International Film and been nominated for Best Picture. Shame this was its only nomination.

Japan submitted a film called "Perfect Days" in International Film

Best Documentary Short: "The Last Repair Shop"

 

[Mozart]

Woohoo the Nova Scotia filmmaker won his second Oscar!

 

[Amy L]

That little girl looks super psyched to be there

 

[peibeck]

Best Documentary Feature: "20 Days in Mariupol"

 

[peibeck]

Although it looks like beads or sequins, apparently America Ferrera's pink gown is made of chain mail! That's got to weigh a ton.

Best Documentary Feature: "20 Days in Mariupol"

Best speech of the night and then the orchestra plays, “Just Ken”. Real whiplash.

Best Cinematography: "Oppenheimer"

Incels have recently been posting about Zendaya not being white hot enough to be in Dune 2 and I think some optometrists could make a lot of money fixing eyeballs.

Not necessarily. It depends on the metal it's made of- some are quite light. And distributed over the body takes a lot of weight off the shoulders.

Best Live Action Short: "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar"

 

[Mozart]

Glad Zone of Onterest won best international film. It still lives in my head many weeks after seeing it.

 

[Jay42]

Best Cinematography: "Oppenheimer"

I really love that he started off his speech encouraging more people to shoot on film. I switched back to taking pictures on film and I really do enjoy it more.

Best Live Action Short: "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar"

I'm too big of a Wes Anderson fan to have not watched that yet and somehow I have still not watched it.

Interesting. I'm only familiar with middle ages chain mail, like knights would wear, and it's extremely heavy.

Incels have recently been posting about Zendaya not being white hot enough to be in Dune 2 and I think some optometrists could make a lot of money fixing eyeballs.

Just so we're all on the same page about what we're talking about here in terms of how hot Zendaya is. I could have picked any of the outfits she's worn for the Dune 2 premieres, or her red carpet looks this season.

 

[peibeck]

Glad Zone of Interest won best international film. It still lives in my head many weeks after seeing it.

I really want to see it. Zone of Interest and Past Lives are the only 2 Best Pics I've missed.

Best Sound: "The Zone of Interest"

(An upset here as "Oppenheimer" won tech guild award.)

Not surprised as the sound was amazing

Past Lives was my favorite of all the best picture films

 

[ilovepaydays]

You know, I should normally be embarrassed to admit this, but “I’m Just Ken” is really growing on me. At this point, I would be totally fine with it winning Best Song.

 

[Jay42]

I love this performance of I'm Just Ken so much. I will be watching it on YouTube multiple times when it ends up there.

 

[Allskate]

"I'm Just Ken" was so much fun! Highlight of the show for me so far. I seriously want this song to win the Oscar. I love that all those guys joined Ryan on stage and that he gave Greta and Margot a moment.

Ryan Gosiling reportedly was initially very reluctant to do Barbie. I'll bet he's very glad he changed his mind.

 

[skateycat]

Ken!

 

[Amy L]

I think that just got nominated for next year's live performance Emmy (and/or Grammy?).

 

[Vash01]

International Language Film: "The Zone of Interest"

I watched the interview of the producer yesterday. I really want to see this movie.

 

[Tesla]

Just so we're all on the same page about what we're talking about here in terms of how hot Zendaya is. I could have picked any of the outfits she's worn for the Dune 2 premieres, or her red carpet looks this season.

She’s stunning.

 

[Tesla]

I still need to watch Barbie.

 

[peibeck]

Past Lives was my favorite of all the best picture films

Interesting. I think "Anatomy of a Fall" is my favorite of the 8 of the 10 nominees I saw, and both star Sandra Huller.
