Yes, dammit, I love the Oscars.

[nolabear]

Love the pageantry, the style, the controversies, the surprises, and the Reward for doing some remarkable work.

And Jason Momoa’s a presenter. 😍

[MaryMagdaline]

1. I do, too! Good style this year

[UniteFightBack]

2. Me too! nt

[MaryMagdaline]

3. No.1 style so far Amandla Stenberg

[TexasBushwhacker]

15. I'd have to go with 60 year old Angela Bassett killing it in hot pink

[True Dough]

[madinmaryland]

5. Well goody for you. Have fun.

[nolabear]

11. Why you ARE mad in Maryland!

[madinmaryland]

13. The sn came from the swift boating of John Kerry. Is that a problem?

[nolabear]

20. Not a bit. Your big reaction just tickled me.

[UniteFightBack]

6. What the hell did that woman just say...this film is for all the believers of the apostle...

did I hear that correctly?

[Docreed2003]

7. Missed that...what award?

[UniteFightBack]

8. It was the best documentary award...the rock climbing movie and it was the last thing said

before they cut to commercial.

[Docreed2003]

9. I saw it but I didn't hear the quote.

Will back it up and see if I catch it

[UniteFightBack]

10. Jennifer Lopez's dress is Gorgeous! nt

[nolabear]

12. The speeches are a little disorganized but I'm glad they're televising them!

Yay ROMA for cinematography!!!

[cilla4progress]

14. Well, I just had a deep thought

watching it.

Humans are capable of such artistry, empathy, fun. And such vileness and cruelty. Mind boggling.

[UniteFightBack]

16. I love Bette Midler's dress! She looks and sounds great. Just beautiful ! nt

[Glorfindel]

17. She truly is the Divine Miss M!

Simply incomparable.

[TexasBushwhacker]

18. I thought so too!

So pretty, and for 73, she was rocking that neckline!

[applegrove]

19. My tv is out. I love the dresses. Don't think I've watched enough movies this

year to appreciate the Oscars this year. Though I hope Roma does well.

[orleans]

21. did they do original score yet?

i'm rooting for black klansman

[TexasBushwhacker]

28. I'm hoping Spike Lee gets Best Director

Long overdue

[Beringia]

23. I think they should have had a host

Trying to save money?

[nolabear]

24. No, they freaked out after Kevin Hart was called out for misogyny

and just never picked another. I don’t know much about it, really.

It hasn’t been bad really. Others are stepping up pretty well.

[Beringia]

25. Thanks

[TexasBushwhacker]

26. The host was going to be Kevin Hart

But some homophobic tweets from several years ago. He didn't really apologize and they opted to go without a host.

[underpants]

27. Can't watch while Walking Dead is on upstairs.

[True Dough]

29. Just bar the door!

Those zombies won't get you!

[underpants]

33. Damn. I just realized

ABC is on the antenna not Sling.

[IcyPeas]

30. Bao

'Bao' Collects Trophy for Animated Short.

Darn, this was available on Youtube a while back but now you have to pay for it. It is a wonderful little short. No words needed. A lovely little gem.

Watch it if you can.

[nolabear]

31. Got to give it to Gaga and Cooper. That was hot!

And beautifully done!

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. She won!!!

She just broke up with her fiancee. I'm sure emotions are running high.

[Tess49]

35. Whew! Be still my heart!

[Dr Vegas]

32. we have to make a choice

between Love Or Hate...,

Do you think TRUMP will write a tweet bitching about Spike?

[Beringia]

36. I didn't know Burt Reynolds died

He was great.

Also Bruno Ganz just a few days ago. One of my favorite actors.

[Beringia]

37. Christian Bale should have won

[TexasBushwhacker]

38. RAMI WON!!!!

Lovely acceptance speech!

[nolabear]

39. I'm not at all surprised. And yes, he gave a great speech.

[demmiblue]

40. Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa make a fine couple:

I have always liked Lisa Bonet's style. Also, Jason is bringing the scrunchie back!
