[GP6971]

1. Not us

We're going out so won't be able to. Normally wouldn't watch it anyway though.

[Kath2]

2. I am!

Hoping it is waaaay anti-Trump and political, too.

[lindysalsagal]

11. I'm rooting for Dunkirk and The Post.

Also saw Shape of Water, Darkest Hour and 3 Billboards.

Maybe catch Tanya, Getout and Call me Ladybird on the tv some weekend.

[Kath2]

15. The post would be excellent.

I was only in high school but I hated Nixon.

[shenmue]

3. Not me

I may catch a little bit later on. As usual, I don't like most of the nominees, and I don't want to waste my time.

[Polly Hennessey]

4. Not me.

Figure I can see highlights on the news.

[oldtime dfl_er]

5. I love movies

so I'm watching. But the sycophantery (if that's a word) and fake sincerity is getting to me. Bring on Jimmy Kimmel!

[Mike Nelson]

6. I will...

...watch until I fall asleep. I have zero interest in the awards, although I enjoy good films. I care less and less about personalities, but do follow the directors. What I'm hoping to see are great progressive and/or anti-The Donald remarks!

[lindysalsagal]

7. Just saw Shape of H2O today and am grilling fish for dinner.....

Little wierd....

[Kirk Lover]

32. I just found out what the movie is about not an hour ago...and I have

9 betta fish in my home....so I'm with ya on the weird tonight.

[democratisphere]

8. YEP!

[petronius]

9. Nope. I just scrolled through the list of nominees, and I don't recall

seeing a single one of those movies (etc.) this year. I should probably just record the Oscars, and then ~3 years from now when I've caught up through Netflix and Amazon, then I can watch the awards and see how my favorites did...

[Generic Brad]

10. I am watching because I have to

My wife let me watch the Super Bowl without complaint. Tonight I extend the same courtesy.

[UTUSN]

12. *Will* be, soon, for my Allison!1

[UTUSN]

21. O.K., am *on* it now, have I missed Supporting Actress (Allison)?!1

[Takket]

13. great opening LOL

"just a hop and a skip from Hooters!"

[Wolf Frankula]

14. Not Me

I don't care. It's just Hollywood patting itself on the back.

19. Lots of industries give out awards and have ceremonies

It's televised because people like to watch celebrities and root for their favorites. The actual work of acting in and producing films is anything but glamorous.

[marlakay]

16. Watching but also on ipad

During slow parts.

[ailsagirl]

17. Haven't followed the movies for years-- don't even know who's up for what

But I know I'll get the skinny here

[Liberal Veteran]

18. I'll be watching Walking Dead (mostly because I use it in place of Ambien on Sunday nights now).

[edbermac]

20. On and off.

I really don’t have a rooting interest this year. Kimmel’s doing ok.

[NewJeffCT]

22. I think I have a crush

on the woman in the yellow dress that was presenting awards just now

[samplegirl]

23. Me and kitty

Laying in bed.

[Kirk Lover]

24. I am watching! Pretty uplifting show. They wanna call us liberals...then let's be

LIBERAL !!!

[Kath2]

28. Exactly why I watch.

I am such a F***ing kiberal,

[UTUSN]

25. *YESssss* Allison!1 - Thank ZEUS I didn't jinx her - "I did it all by myself!1" Bwah-ha-HAH!1

[lunasun]

36. Is that a good movie? The little clip during her award segment aired was the first I have seen,

Her performance made me take notice of something to see

[UTUSN]

39. I haven't seen it, am just focused on her from "Mom." I'm no fan of Tonya HARDING and the reviews

say the movie is a complex interlacing of all the characters giving different versions of what happened, not a glorifying or excusing of HARDING or anybody else. I just love Allison on "Mom."

[Upthevibe]

47. I highly recommend this movie. n/t

[randr]

26. American artistry

[MaryMagdaline]

27. Yes. We need to support liberals

Also I like jimmy kimmel

[Kath2]

29. I support all liberals.

All of the time.

[lunasun]

30. I really like the set designs this year.

Kobe Bryant just won an oscar!

[Laffy Kat]

31. I love cinema and can't stand the Oscars. nt

[UTUSN]

40. Haha, I love the Oscars and detest a lot of cinema!1

[Laffy Kat]

43. To each our own...

[PasadenaTrudy]

33. Following it on twitter n/t

[blogslut]

34. Tonight and all my life.

I love show business. I love the stupid Oscars. I know they're a racket and I don't give a damn.

[Clarity2]

35. Watching

The Arts are life to me. I ignore all the glitz and “celeb” though, but appreciate the work and the platform celebs give to social justice and politics.

[LAS14]

37. Who was the presenter in the cover-up red dress for short documentary? nt

[blogslut]

38. Maya Rudolph

[LAS14]

49. Is she black? I wasn't quite following her place in the pre-presentation spiel. nt

[blogslut]

50. Her mother was Minnie Riperton

[LAS14]

51. Thanks very much. nt

[RandomAccess]

41. I am, and mostly enjoying it

altho I haven't seen a single one of the movies.

I also feel like I'm in some sort of time-warp with the music the bad is playing. Where on earth did they get some of these things, the 40s?? And no, I don't think the ones I'm talking about are related in any way to any of the movies.

[Docreed2003]

42. We are..loving this original song from Marshall

[Upthevibe]

45. I'm watching with friends....

I think it's excellent and Jimmy Kimmel's doing an awesome job.

[Docreed2003]

48. Agreed!!!

[TexasBushwhacker]

44. Jordan Peele got the Oscar for Get Out!

Best Original Screenplay. So deserved!

[Upthevibe]

46. Yes! For Jordan Peele! N/T
