"It definitely feels right for ONE BATTLE and SINNERS to get 10 wins total." Yes, I got that exactly right, didn't I? Got most of my predictions correct too with me going 19 out of 24. Saddest for getting Live Action Short wrong... we all had two chances apparently! #Oscars

A big takeaway this year has to be that Sinners and One Battle After Another were big, artist driven, swings bankrolled by WB whose future is ultimately unclear. I like living in a world where people like PTA and Ryan Coogler get to make the films they want to make with those resources.

Honestly? Very little complaint about that show. Reuniting Kidman/McGregor and making them sing a little may have erased most bad things to me. But still lots of good! #Oscars

I want to be Teyana Taylor when I grow up. She just gave PTA a headlock on the way to accept Best Picture then immediately, excitedly hugs Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. #Oscars

MOULIN ROUGE REUNION!!!!! This is the best award show now. #Oscars

WILD ROSE hive rise up! Been obsessed with Jessie Buckley since then. I'm so happy she won! And she's giving such an Olivia Colman speech. She's the best! #Oscars

That Zendaya commercial was great. Can't wait for whenever she gets an Oscar nomination. Justice for CHALLENGERS.

I would've personally voted for Timmy but I am so, so happy for Friday Night Lights actor Michael B. Jordan. Oscar winner! Hell yeah! #Oscars

If "Golden" didn't win, it would've been like the end of WEAPONS again. Imagine Diane Warren being chased by crazed fans everywhere. Anyways yay KPOP DEMON HUNTERS! #Oscars

Viewers noticed Ryan Coogler appears to have a guitar and treble clef braided in his hair at the #Oscars

Autumn Durald Arkapaw, a Filipina btw, is the first woman to win Best Cinematography. And looking amazing. And great speech... kinda perfect to lead to "Golden"!!! #Oscars

Both of these Documentary winners' speeches inserting much needed politics tonight. May their messages be heard. #Oscars

Sure let's ignore the crafts for WICKED's sequel but let's keep giving the same AVATAR guys awards they won before.

Guys, seriously, Pedro Pascal looks cunty. It's amazing. Also Sigourney Weaver just yelled Bitch. Ha. #Oscars

That was an elegantly handled In Memoriam, probably the best ever. One of the only times in Oscar history that it actually felt like the show was asking people to stop, think, remember, smile, and mourn.

Lesson I hope they take... we don't need to hire a famous singer to do a song. Just give us short, heartfelt tributes and then an instrumental for the faces/names. #Oscars

This is all so beautiful but that Graham Greene to Val Kilmer transition fucked me up a lot. An all-timer of an In Memoriam segment. #Oscars

Look, we were ALL getting worried that SINNERS was about to get Color Purple'd. So thank goodness that's not the case. #Oscars

PTA and Coogler (whew!) have their #Oscars. We can all go home now honestly.

Sorry, but I cannot believe anybody is going to punish Timmy about ballet if they're out here voting for Sean Penn.

More ties at the #Oscars please. It's just funny that of all the categories this year... Live Action Short?

I *love* that they're doing the five actors honoring the nominees bit for the newest Oscar category: Best Casting. And gets a few actors who won't be winning (or weren't even nominated) on stage. So smart. #Oscars

Look I know they can be draconian with playing winners off but if more than one person wants to give a speech, you guys need to plan better. This is a skill issue. #Oscars

SINNERS just did a great performance AND Jannik Sinner won Indian Wells. And that's what you missed on Glee.

Saw SINNERS twice in theaters and cried during this scene. Absolutely stunning. #Oscars

Good news! We've got nominee clips! And also Saldana giving out Supporting Actress means Adrien Brody won't be giving the Oscar to Jessie Buckley! We already won y'all! #Oscars

Ha! Y'all thought this category would give us any hints to Sinners vs One Battle. NOPE! Congrats Amy Madigan. What a character. That final scene to your movie was chef's kiss. #Oscars

Honestly... slay.

The whiplash of seeing the hotness of Pedro Pascal and then seeing Timmy's kinda sad look (the hair is quelle tragique).

I yelled when this happened!

Kinda hoping she'd bring a more punk sensibility (like maybe different hair?) but the dress is great.

Simultaneously watching Sinner playing the Indian Wells final while rooting for SINNERS at the #Oscars. I can only be me.

Best fact of the 2025-26 Oscar season

Almost show time! Already regretting a couple of these predictions actually...

Presenting the #Oscars illustration of the 98th The Academy Awards Best Picture Nominees 2026! And for the first time ever, I feature in one of the illustrations as a bonus extra (quite literally in the film). #Oscars2026

With me finally seeing SONG SUNG BLUE (wild film!) just now, I've finally seen all the nominees from the top #Oscars categories (Picture, Directing, Acting, Writing).

I wasn't like dying for it or anything but I truly wanted to see what Zhao's vision was for Buffy. And yes, I miss SMG in that role. Or maybe I miss that time back when, you know?

On the one hand, I'm deeply skeptical of revivals, since I don't even need all 10 fingers to count the ones that have been good enough to justify their existence. On the other, Ryan Kiera Armstrong is SO good on The Lowdown that I wanted to see what she could do here.

Might as well link to my #Oscars post where I talk about my predictions for tomorrow (ONE BATTLE, SINNERS, Buckley and KPOP DEMON HUNTERS for the wins) and my own picks if I had a ballot. sortathatguy.blogspot.com/2026/03/osca...

Recently saw this with John Cameron Mitchell and Simu Liu and it's still wonderful. As for this new casting, I proposed a LOOT takeover. Cast Ron Funches as Mary's Husband, Joel Kim Booster as Mary's Teacher, MJ Rodriguez as Mary's Chaperone.

Really good to see Jack Draper back to playing tennis. Being hot and beating Djoke hell yeah.

Catching up on some Oscar nominated documentaries and golly I need ALL the tissues. THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR and COME SEE ME IN THE GOOD LIGHT had me crying for very different reasons. Regarding the latter, I wished I had been more aware of Andrea Gibson. They are everything.

Okay but tell me Kidman and McGregor are presenting only after they perform a 25th-anniversary MOULIN ROUGE! tribute number in which they sing the complete and unabridged Elephant Love Medley while the camera cuts to a fuming Diane Warren every 20 seconds

Just saw THE BRIDE! And you know what? It kinda fucks. Yes it's a bit messy but it's a kind of mess more films should be. Buckley and Bale make for a delightful, deranged pair.

I get why THE PITT decided to do Fourth of July as the timeframe for this season. But a missed opportunity to do it on Halloween! The costumes! And as we spring forward due to Daylight Saving Time, we turn back the clock this year when? November 1st @ 2am. Imagine repeating the hour on the show!

Sad for Gauff but Eala!!! Let's have another storybook run shall we?

Just got this notification from TodayTix. Kinda amazing but also wow this story is getting bigger and bigger huh?

remembering Catherine O’Hara on her birthday 🤍

Lest anyone forgot... Timothée Chalamet won Best Actor at the SAG Awards... last year.

I have not followed this Oscar season as closely as I usually do, but this was the most interesting SAG Awards in ages in terms of shaking things up, right?
