mrbellamy 6,278 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 It did actually used to happen before in ancient Oscar history where they would present Pic somewhere in the middle. I was just reading about Greer Garson's Best Actress speech being the longest ever when she was the last award of the night. But this is hilarious, what a weird year. They're probably betting on Chadwick Boseman winning Best Actor and saving that for last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Well, I am watching but these are for sure a disaster. Presenting Best Picture as not the final award is the final straw. What on earth were they thinking? I think it is a terrible indefensible choice. The ratings are going to crater so deep they will reach the hollow earth and then the earth's core.

I'm all for honouring Boseman, but I think they've kind of botched the momentum of the whole ceremony with this weird reshuffling. McDormand was a surprise!

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Had no clue what to choose in the way of documentaries, shorts and songs, but of the categories I could predict I got 11 correct out of 18 (all the easy ones). Really thought Boseman was a lock for Best Actor. Pretty good crop of nominees all around though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
