Napoleon Wilson

12:14 AM

Oh, Gary Oldman.

Apparently Whoopie Goldberg still exists, too.

Memor-X

@NapoleonWilson i was reminded while watching 30Rock, because i totally forgot that she's also Guinan in Star Trek

saw a re-run and was thinking "the woman who plays Guinan, i know her from somewhere but where"

Napoleon Wilson

12:46 AM

Oh, Lindsay Vonn?

Napoleon Wilson

1:04 AM

If that already was the intro celebration, that was a little...lame.

Oh, Harvey Weinstein. I'm sure that's the last time we've heard about him and his antics tonight.

Memor-X

Napoleon Wilson

Again the supporting actor first?

@Memor-X The latter.

Oh, thank god not Christopher Plummer. I'm not sure he would have had the dignity to thank Kevin Spacey in his speech.

MattD

1:25 AM

No survey this year?

Supporting Actor is always first.

Napoleon Wilson

@MattD Hmm, I thought it wasn't necessarily until about 2 or 3 years.

I thought they shuffled it more in the past.

@MattD I don't know. Catija did that in the past.

MattD

I dunno, but I'm pretty sure it's always been first.

A J

Who is she that said I am older than Academy Awards? I fail to recognize her.

Napoleon Wilson

She mentioned North By Northwest, so I'd guess Eva Marie Saint.

A J

Oh.

I will check Oscars after half an hour. Catch me up if I miss any award.

Napoleon Wilson

1:43 AM

Oh, music!

Napoleon Wilson

1:54 AM

I thought they stopped with the themeless clip shows.

Q: invincible body or body of a doll?

In Child's Play (1988), when Chucky goes to see Dr. Death, he mentions the pain he is able to feel and the fact that he's bleeding. He says "I didn't think anyone could hurt me." Is he confused by the pain and blood because he thought he'd be invincible after using Death's voodoo magic to come ba...

Napoleon Wilson

Oh, Dunkirk.

Of course, the exact same nominations for mixing and editing.

...and the same winner.

MattD

Dunkirk's sound was really fantastic.

Napoleon Wilson

Truesns.

But so was Blade Runner 2049's

(And a similar feel of blending between sound and score.)

iandotkelly

2:10 AM

Dunkirk's sound was fantastic

Napoleon Wilson

Nolan in all honours, but the Production Design award is the Blade Runner category.

Or...not. Argh!

MattD

I have a feeling Blade Runner is going to get snubbed, which means Roger Deakins won't win for the 14th time.

Napoleon Wilson

That "wall"-line was a tiny bit on the nose maybe. ;-)

steelersquirrel

Just in time for a musical number. Awesome.

Napoleon Wilson

2:15 AM

I...already thought you changed your mind yet again. ;-)

MattD

This is honestly a pretty bad performance IMO.

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Yep. Sorry I missed it.

Napoleon Wilson

And I thought the song was just odd. But maybe that was just the start.

steelersquirrel

@MattD What movie is this song from?

MattD

@steelersquirrel Coco.

Napoleon Wilson

2:17 AM

Coco. The Mexican Day of the Dead thing.

MattD

It's a really good movie and it'll win Best Animated, and the song is actually pretty damn great, but man those vocal performances were just bad.

steelersquirrel

Yeah, I heard it was good. My nieces loved it.

Napoleon Wilson

I don't know what else is nominated there. But it sure sounds like a winning film.

MattD

The only thing bad about it was the terrible Frozen "short" they had before the movie.

Napoleon Wilson

Urgh, right, the effin' Boss Baby.

steelersquirrel

2:19 AM

Who won supporting actor? If it wasn't Willem Defoe or Sam Rockwell, I'm leaving ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Not heard of any of the others at all.

MattD

Sam Rockwel.

*Rockwell

steelersquirrel

@MattD OH, SNAP! I love him!

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel It wasn't ~~Kevin Spacey~~ Christopher Plummer at least.

steelersquirrel

Was that a surprise?

Why do you keep referring to them together?

Napoleon Wilson

2:21 AM

@steelersquirrel Because he ended up getting his role after they photoshoped Spacey out of the film.

(For purely artisitic reasons, of course.)

steelersquirrel

Okay. I don't know the movie.

MattD

They didn't shop him out, they literally reshot all his scenes.

Napoleon Wilson

I know. ;-)

@steelersquirrel All the Money in the World, by Ridley Scott.

MattD

I got to attend a talk by the writer for Ready Player One, who also wrote the story and screenplay for Fanboys.

steelersquirrel

2:23 AM

Oh, nice!

Napoleon Wilson

Heh, how fitting. ;-)

MattD

He reminded everyone that Fanboys got made because it made its way into the hands of, "The two worst people in Hollywood. Kevin Spacey, and Harvey Weinstein."

Napoleon Wilson

Oh.

steelersquirrel

Is Kevin Spacey in the same realm of asshole-ness as Harvey Weinstein?

I can't keep up, tbh.

Memor-X

a bit late but

Napoleon Wilson

2:25 AM

Me neither. But shit seems to have gotten very real for Kevin Spacey, unfortunately

MattD

I mean if he actually did the things he's accused of, I wouldn't say it's unfortunate that he's facing consequences.

Napoleon Wilson

Maybe, but the whole thing has gone utterly monkey business. Which Ridley Scott has some part in, too.

A J

Ugh. I can't chat and watch Oscars at the same time.

Memor-X

Kevin Spacey is the guy from house of cards who is alleged to have raped some teenager and the producers fired him and had to remake the entire season to write him out right?

steelersquirrel

Harvey Weinstein has always been a pig, though. I love that old clip of Courtney Love (of all people) saying for nobody to ever go to his hotel room...from the late 90's

@Memor-X I guess so.

Laurie Metcalf? Wut?

Napoleon Wilson

2:29 AM

Wha' 'bou' 'er?

steelersquirrel

I didn't know she was nominated!!!

A Tonya Harding winner! Portland will be so proud! ;)

MattD

Lady Bird is really good.

Napoleon Wilson

Oh, the woman form that Chuck Lorre show?

steelersquirrel

Wow. She looks hot in that red dress!

MattD

She was also in The West Wing.

Q: What did Beetlejuice want for payment?

In the movie, Bettlejuice talks about getting the Maitland's business, yet we never hear what he wanted from them- what did he expect for compensation?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel And Internal Affairs, which we just taked about.

steelersquirrel

I loved Alison Janey in Juno and 10 Things I hate about you. She was awesomely hilarious in both!

MattD

Haha, what? Hans Zimmer in a Walmart commercial?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Oh, right, she was in that too.

steelersquirrel

2:32 AM

@MattD LOL

@NapoleonWilson Laurie Metcalf? I forget...

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Yes, she's Andy Garcia's partner.

steelersquirrel

Wait. Is Margot Robbie nominated?

Napoleon Wilson

Yes.

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Oh, right.

MattD

Yes, Best Actress.

steelersquirrel

2:34 AM

Oh, nice!

I haven't seen her. I'm betting she looks smokin' hot!

Napoleon Wilson

Maybe a little...90s.

Oh wait, you mean at the Oscars?

steelersquirrel

Uhm...yeah.

I missed my favorite part, the red carpet stuff... ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Yeah, apparently the colour of Jenny Garner's dress is...uh...Electric Blue, I think.

steelersquirrel

I have been dying to know what designer she's wearing!!!

MattD

Well, now we know why Star Wars isn't a comedy.

steelersquirrel

2:38 AM

Is that Kobe Bryant?

MattD

Yep.

Napoleon Wilson

Apparently. Isn't the movie about basketball even?

steelersquirrel

I don't know. I guess so.

Napoleon Wilson

It's called Dear Basketball at least. ;-)

steelersquirrel

Another person accused of rape...just sayin'

Napoleon Wilson

2:40 AM

And now he's part of Hollywood, too. Dun dun duuuun!

To be fair, the girl was just seeking a settlement, iirc.

Mark Hamill gets monthly SW pension cheque?

@AJ Jedi pension checks, and it's a joke.

steelersquirrel

Yeah. He had a smart agent ;)

MattD

But he probably dos get monthly royalty checks for use of his likeness among other things.

Alright question time, two parter: Who do you want to win Best Picture? Who do you THINK will win Best Picture?

My answers: I want Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri to win, but I have a feeling The Shape of Water will win. Depends on how the other big awards go.

Napoleon Wilson

Hmmm... Blade Runner 2049 and The Shape of Water maybe?

steelersquirrel

I haven't seen any of them besides Get Out.

Napoleon Wilson

2:47 AM

I've only seen Dunkirk.

steelersquirrel

And I don't know about it. It was okay. Not worthy of a nomination, imo.

I'm talking about Get Out, not Dunkirk.

MattD

Blade Runner is not nominated in that category.

Napoleon Wilson

Oh.

Really? Then what is, Star Wars?

Huh, it totally is!

steelersquirrel

I must be behind you guys by a few seconds.

Napoleon Wilson

We're at Visual Effects now.

Not only nominated but even winning!

MattD

2:53 AM

Blade Runner finally pulls a win.

steelersquirrel

Yeah. I'm behind a few seconds.

Napoleon Wilson

Oh wait, were you talking about the Best Picture earlier?

MattD

Yes.

Napoleon Wilson

I know it's not nominated there. That was a mistake by the Academy, though and you asked which we wanted to win.

MattD

Addendum: "From the films nominated."

A J

2:55 AM

@MattD yep

Napoleon Wilson

Oh, then I don't care.

MattD

Man, they always give the special effects people so little time for their speech.

steelersquirrel

I understood it being for the films nominated.

A J

I don't know why GotG2 nominated.

Napoleon Wilson

I would say Dunkirk, but that just feels too much like a DiCaprio to me. He shouldn't win for that if he didn't win earlier.

MattD

2:55 AM

The special effects in GotG2 were pretty great.

steelersquirrel

Alright, alright, alright.

Napoleon Wilson

See, that's the categories where Dunkirk has a right to win.

steelersquirrel

Uhuh

A J

Yay!

MattD

I think the only person winning tonight that would legitimately piss me off would be Daniel Day-Lewis.

Napoleon Wilson

2:58 AM

Oh?

We already taked about the winner I would have been annoyed by. ;-)

MattD

Phantom Thread was such a so-so film.

Napoleon Wilson

I...don't really know what to make of Daniel Day Lewis in general, I have to say.

steelersquirrel

@MattD Wut? Why?

MattD

See my last post.

steelersquirrel

I haven't seen the movie. I just know that he's usually great in everything that he's in.

Isn't he done with acting, anyways?

MattD

3:01 AM

Supposedly it's his last film.

Napoleon Wilson

He...said so at least.

steelersquirrel

Do you not believe him?

Napoleon Wilson

I thought he even shared that sentiment with Mr. Anderson.

steelersquirrel

He always seems sincere. I don't know.

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel I don't know if I do, I have to say.

MattD

3:03 AM

I'll believe it when he's dead and hasn't acted in a film since Phantom Thread.

I'm not saying that to be a jerk or to indicate I don't like him, just saying is all.

steelersquirrel

Okay, then.

Did he say why he was quitting movies?

Napoleon Wilson

I heard in an interview that Phantom Thread put him and Anderson into some kind of big depression.

steelersquirrel

Okay.

A J

Where is @Catija today?

steelersquirrel

I don't know :'(

MattD

3:07 AM

Well she does have a kid now.

steelersquirrel

Yeah. She's usually not around this time of day like she used to be.

MattD

In about six months I'll be in the same position.

steelersquirrel

WUUUUUUT?!?!

Napoleon Wilson

Oh, congratulations then!

steelersquirrel

OMG! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

MattD

3:09 AM

Thanks. And yes, I'll be father to a little girl at the end of August.

steelersquirrel

MattD

She is.

It seems like everyone is getting pregnant lately!

iandotkelly

Are they on a break in the oscars? No announcements atm.

(don't have tv)

Napoleon Wilson

They just did a big joke-show-thingy.

steelersquirrel

No. They're doing some comedy skit thing.

MattD

It was the reverse of what he did at last year's Oscars.

A J

@MattD congratulations

Napoleon Wilson

3:11 AM

And now they're back on stage, but making race jokes instead of presenting. ;-)

steelersquirrel

Maybe that's why I don't get it ;)

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel I can’t get pregnant 😜

@NapoleonWilson Will do!

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson ophra started it in response of #MeToo

MattD

Not sure if you're saying you're glad or angry about that.

Napoleon Wilson

I'm pretty sure he's glad about it.

steelersquirrel

I'm pretty sure he's glad

Ankit Sharma

I am glad

I am still dissapointed that back then Brockback mountain lost

Napoleon Wilson

3:35 AM

I heard it's a really nice film, and one that fortunately doesn't emphasize the "issue" aspect of the story rather than simply the love aspect.

MattD

Gotcha.

Man, I want Get Out to win Best Original Screenplay, but I have a feeling Three Billboards will win.

This is a solid category all around this year, though.

YES!!!!!!!

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Though, I would have thought you wanted your favourite comic film to win.

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson Wonder Woman is not nominated so no

@NapoleonWilson I heard it got sad ending so I am not sure to watch it or not but I will sooner or later

I wanted to watch atleast three of the best film nomination : Dunkirk , shape of water and call me by your name before oscar but didn’t got enough time :’(

@NapoleonWilson If you mean Logan then I loved it but not oscar worthy

MattD

I sat through four of the nominated films last Saturday.

Napoleon Wilson

Oh.

Ankit Sharma

3:41 AM

@MattD nice

I am stuck at sister’s house

Another win for Call me by your name :O

Napoleon Wilson

Wow, that was a little...odd.

MattD

Ankit Sharma

Stop jokes and get back to point

Napoleon Wilson

Why?

After the big deal they made of Rachel Morrison's nomination...

Hah! Woot! \o/

MattD

FINALLY!

Roger Deakins baby!

Ankit Sharma

3:49 AM

I like Sandra jokes but not the cloning dog ones

MattD

I could still see people getting pissed about Deakins winning over Morrison.

A J

Another win for BR 2049

MattD

Without caring for the fact Deakins has been nominated 13 times prior to this year and never won until tonight.

Has best actor been handed out?

Napoleon Wilson

No.

Catija

Those are always right before the best picture, I think?

Napoleon Wilson

Oh, Gary Oldman.

MattD

Wooooo! Gary Oldman!

DarkRunner

is the big sick going to get any oscars?

Napoleon Wilson

4:26 AM

Probably not.

MattD

Given its competition likely not.

Napoleon Wilson

It was only nominated once, I think.

DarkRunner

right, for screenplay

but it great

MattD

Oh, it's only in one category and it's already lost, so no, it won't.

DarkRunner

who won, do you know

?

MattD

4:27 AM

Get Out.

Get Out.

lol

What?

That doesn't look like Daniel Day Lewis. Lol.

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Oh, right for Tony Harding?

How did you know when to come back?

steelersquirrel

4:29 AM

@DarkRunner I wish. I loved The Big Sick. I loved it way more than Get Out.

@NapoleonWilson I turned the channel.

Napoleon Wilson

Oh.

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Huh?

MattD

Big Sick is a great movie, but the way Get Out plays with genre tropes and race is simply genius.

steelersquirrel

Meh. I guess.

I was just moved more by The Big Sick.

That movie tackles cultural/racial issues as well.

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Because her award is just up.

steelersquirrel

4:33 AM

Oh, okay.

MattD

I'll take Francis McDormand for this one. Solid nominations all around I think.

steelersquirrel

Isn't she married to a Coen brother?

Napoleon Wilson

Apparently.

MattD

Joel.

steelersquirrel

What is she talking about? What's inclusion writer mean?

Napoleon Wilson

4:38 AM

I...have really no idea what she is about at all. ;-)

MattD

I think she said "inclusion rider"

steelersquirrel

I still don't know what that means. Lol.

Ankit Sharma

Me neither

MattD

I wonder if she may be talking about a legal rider.

steelersquirrel

I really haven't seen a lot of her movies. I absolutely loved her in Something's Gotta Give with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton.

MattD

4:40 AM

So possibly telling these people to attach riders to their works that they need to be more inclusive.

steelersquirrel

Oh, okay.

MattD

That's what I can come up with after not really finding anything on Google.

Ah, the people who fucked up last year.

steelersquirrel

Wasn't it the stage people who effed up? Didn't they give the wrong envelope?

Napoleon Wilson

Really, giving Warren Beatty another "try"? That's just an odd way to joke about that.

MattD

I believe that's right, but they also didn't read the card correctly to figure out it was wrong or something.

Not entirely their fault, but yeah.

steelersquirrel

4:43 AM

I honestly can't remember.

Napoleon Wilson

They also didn't present the Best Picture nominees individually throughout the show this time.

@steelersquirrel I think they got the envelope for Best Actress instead, who was from La La Land.

steelersquirrel

Okay.

MattD

Eh, not a bad film, but certainly not what I would have put in even my top three of the year.

Ha, gotta love Del Toro reading the card to confirm it's correct.

A J

The Shape of Water won.

MattD

I'm guessing last year's screw up is also why all the envelopes are very clearly marked now.

Probably.
