Yeah, what a pile of shite. Zimmer also didn't deserve best score. I didn't like Don't Look Up but the score was amazing.

Army of the Dead won the Fan Favourite contest. It doesn't win an actual Oscar, it's just a side-poll, with votes on Twitter. Which is probably the natural home of Snyder fans.

Made a new thread for Oscars EXCLUDING Will Smith incident, if people want to talk about Billie Eilish or anything,

Grieg Fraser winning best cinematography for Dune was well deserved. And the film's VFX, sounds and score awards. 

 

Here's an hour of Hans Zimmer space digeridoo

Happy to see Dune win all these.

 

 

The biggest missteps of the night for me in things I've seen are Encanto winning over Mitchells vs The Machines and No Time to Die winning over Dos Oruguitas.

Before the nominees were read out, the presenters delivered a joke about parents having to put up with kids rewatching cartoons over and over again. To which Phil Lord tweeted:

 

 

 

 

Now he and Chris Miller have written a column for Variety about how the Oscars diminishes animation, and suggesting how they could help elevate it instead:

I’m with them 100% the Oscar’s can not see the value in animation or comedy, and they are the equivalent of that fake maturity that 14 year olds look for in computer games. 

 

And I loved Mitchell’s versus the Machines, and any other year it should have one but Encanto totally deserves that Oscar. It’s the best film Disney have ever made. It should have won best film full stop.

Personally I think the Oscar's attitude to live action film is no better than their attitude to animation.

 

They're dumbasses.
