Oh well Paul Raci was excellent. But so was Kaluuya! I say it's a deserved win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,352 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 I thought Lakeith Stanfield was easily the better performance in that movie. And I've liked Kaluuya plenty in other things but really thought he mumbled his way through this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it traditionally the last award of the night other than Best Picture? I think it always should be the penultimate award. It undercuts the historic nature of Zhoa's win that its dispensed with so unceremoniously early on. The other reason could be - it was a foregone conclusion, so maybe they thought lets get it out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are usually the last three categories in different orders. This is definitely the least interesting Oscar ceremony I've seen which is saying something. I can't imagine why anybody who doesn't just traditionally always watch would be sitting through any of this. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought last year was their all-time low. The Oscars needs the promp and fills, not just an endless barrage of speeches. And they definitely need a host. But I guess that they got to put all this together as seamlessly as they did is pretty impressive, given everything. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
