Louis no. 1 for Best Actor winning the Oscar twice in a row. When's the last time that happened?
^And if you go back to Hopkins, that's three out of the last five that have matched.

Last time was 84/85 Abraham/Hurt.
Pretty disappointed in Torres not winning (though Madison is deserving), but it was a pretty good night. Perez underperforming, I'm Still Here winning in International Film, and just generally some pretty good winners.
I'll need to watch Highlander before making these predictions.
Louis: And a re-watch of Little Shop Of Horrors.

The Memoriam left out Alain Delon, Olivia Hussey, Michelle Trachtwnberg and Shannen Doherty.
Luke, rating predictions.
Louis, how do you rank the Best Director Nominees of the Decade so far?
Louis, could you rewatch Star Trek IV before the round is over?
Anonymous: I'd rather see how it plays out though I hope Brown gets a 4.5, the best fantasy villain performance of the 80s.

Louis: thoughts on Conan hosting? Thought he was great.
Louis: Thoughts on Adrien Brody's speech?
Matt: I thought it was pretty disrespectful to Salles and a lot of below the line winners to have their speeches cut short while Brody was allowed to ramble on and on. Great actor, but great orator, he is not.

Tahmeed: I might've found "I've done this before" charming if it was ANYONE else, but he has no charm in his entire being.
One of the funnier things is Sean Baker's three speeches combined I don't think even came close to the length of Brody's. And also waving off the orchestra to say nothing substantial in particular.
Wasn't crazy about Saldana or Culkin's speeches either. In contrast, Madison's was nicely simple and sweet and by far the best of any of the actors.
Louis, your thoughts on the ceremony as a whole?
Calvin: Regarding the winners - I feel like they've definitely become more cinephile-friendly the past few years, starting with the EEAAO sweep.
I'm gonna wait for the first review to make predictions
Happy overall with most of the winners. Wish I could have seen Madison and the Anora BP wins live, which I'll blame Brody and Hulu for fucking up.
Louis: If there's a possibility of Matlin going up for Children Of A Lesser God, could you give it a re-watch as well.

I thought he was hilarious, I would love to see him return with a better produced show.
Matt:
Rambling and self-indulgent. Which is a shame because if he had left it off with just his first half it would've been decent but he just kept going.
Tony:
The pacing was especially terrible here and I hate how the producers so consistently fail to find a balance. Rather than consider extra length for speeches they end up giving the shaft to the later non-overly famous winners, I mean the fact that Salles was rushed along was especially egregious. And part of the problem was the musical performances, which I like Bond but there was no need for that song set, despite it being largely well done, Quincy Jones deserves the shoutout but again throwing in a song from the Wiz so late just derailed any momentum. I honestly think all musical performances should be contained to the first half and should amount to no more than 10 minutes worth of the show's runtime, because at the end of the day the reason everyone is there is to see the winners, which should remain the priority. Conan being actually funny did keep things from being a terrible show on the whole, so while choosing him as host was a great choice, many of their other choices were questionable at best.
Louis how would you rank the winners this year?
I'm so glad I didn't stay up to watch it live.

I'll give my predictions on the first two reviews.
