We are here, me moving,
0:03
Mike Kelsey, how are you?
0:05
I'm great. I'm sitting here with the heating pad on my shoulders.
0:08
I was trying to be a strong independent woman
0:10
on my flight four weeks ago and put my
0:12
bag in the overhead bin. And the problem
0:15
isn't that I'm not strong, It's
0:17
that I'm short, and so getting a large
0:19
object over my head is usually difficult.
0:21
And I pulled a back muscle and it still
0:24
hurts four weeks later, and
0:26
I am icing it. I'm using a heating
0:28
pad. I'm putting like Ben
0:31
gay on at night. It's real.
0:33
It's really fun being thirty.
0:35
But we're here to talk about the oscars.
0:36
You're shut up about your injury.
0:39
Yes, Big night last night. We'll
0:41
go through the winners. We'll talk about our
0:43
best and worst moments of the night, some
0:46
cringe worthy moments of the night, the fashion,
0:48
the fashion. But first we'll get
0:50
into the big winner that you've seen by
0:53
now. Best Picture went to Oppenheimer.
0:55
I didn't really think there were any surprises there
0:58
going into this. I knew how how much
1:00
Oppenheimer was going to dominate because it
1:03
was nominated the most and really
1:05
there wasn't any competition.
1:06
The surprise was how terribly it was announced.
1:09
Oh yeah, we'll get into that.
1:10
That was the surprise.
1:11
That was the surprise. But I did have a
1:14
bet with producer Eddie from The Bobby Bone
1:16
Show, which if you don't know, I am the head writer
1:18
over there, and we had this
1:20
parlay bet where if
1:23
all three of my picks hit,
1:27
I would win one hundred dollars. If just one of them missed,
1:30
he would win twenty dollars for me, which is a terrible
1:32
bet on his end, mainly because
1:34
I don't think he knew how much
1:36
I knew going into it. The funny thing
1:39
is he hated Oppenheimer, so
1:41
it'd even.
1:41
Go against you though your movie, Mike.
1:44
Because you think in a parlay it's
1:46
hard to hit because it just one of those things goes
1:48
wrong, the whole bet is out. And
1:50
to be honest, it is rare for a
1:53
movie to dominate that much in those
1:55
three categories, very big categories, and
1:57
when it comes to the way that people
2:00
vote, I feel like there's always
2:02
a wild card in one of those where either
2:04
they go a little bit more like on the
2:06
foreign film side, or they just pick an actor
2:09
kind of at a left field and they end up winning,
2:11
And at one point I thought, oh man, they could go with
2:13
somebody else here. But after watching
2:16
all of these movies and knowing what I
2:18
know about how these people vote,
2:21
I just didn't see anybody else taking those
2:23
home. Like I just couldn't visualize it. And that's how I
2:25
think about these awards is literally
2:28
in my head. Try to visualize that person winning,
2:30
and if I can see that in my head, see their
2:33
speech, see the way
2:35
that their performance was in that movie, that
2:37
is who I go with. But in this case, in
2:40
this partly we had I had Best Picture Oppenheimer,
2:43
which won. I had Best Director
2:45
Christopher Nolan. He won his first Oscar
2:48
ever, which is astonishing
2:51
that it took him this long to win
2:53
Best Director. A lot of people
2:55
last night won for the first time
2:57
ever that you think, oh, they probably have a lot of Oscars.
3:00
Not the case. Best Actor, another
3:02
first time winner, went to Killy and Murphy. It
3:05
was just kind of cool for him because
3:07
he's been working with Christopher Nolans so long.
3:09
I know one of them referenced it in their speech of
3:12
being longtime collaborators, and
3:14
he has gone from having smaller
3:17
supporting roles in Christopher Nolan movies to
3:19
now in one of the most
3:21
epic roles of his life.
3:24
Now has an oscar Win. I thought
3:26
that was pretty cool.
3:27
I love seeing people win for the
3:29
first time, and I also love that you won one hundred
3:32
dollars. Thank you at you going out to dinner on
3:34
your dime.
3:34
I don't want to say that was the easiest one hundred dollars
3:37
that I've ever won. Pretty easy, but that
3:40
I made those pigs back in January when it was first
3:43
announced, he.
3:43
Said, January twenty fourth, I.
3:44
Posted the text, I had the proof, I had the receipts,
3:48
so I just knew how
3:50
much Oppenheimer was going to dominate
3:52
that even right before, I
3:55
would have felt comfortable adding Robert Downey Junior.
3:57
And I know you could come in now like, oh yeah, I knew that one
3:59
too, But there was nobody else in
4:01
that category that I thought did as
4:04
good of a job as Robert Downey Junior did.
4:06
And supporting actor is always kind
4:09
of weird because the
4:11
way you get nominated for that and
4:14
the level it just I guess just when it
4:16
comes down to screen time, it's like, what
4:18
really warrants just supporting actor?
4:20
It is weird too, like supporting actor makes you
4:22
feel like you're like kind of like subpar,
4:25
like any category. Speaking
4:27
of Robert Downey Jr. I will say some of Jimmy Kimmel's
4:29
jokes are pretty low blows.
4:32
And you could tell when Robert Downey
4:34
Junior gave a speech he was pissed off about
4:37
that opening monologue.
4:38
Yeah, here's that moment from last night.
4:40
This is the highest point of Robert
4:42
Downey Junior's long and illustrious career,
4:45
but one of the highest points. But
4:51
Robert has been a.
4:56
Was that too on the nose?
4:57
Or was out a drug motion? You made weird
5:00
to hear everybody laugh at that.
5:01
Oh it was bad even listening to it again, it's
5:04
just so cringey.
5:05
And then later when Robert Downey Junior won,
5:08
he made like a reference to his
5:10
lawyer. It almost sounds like he was gonna sue
5:13
Jimmy Kimmel for the joke. Is
5:15
the kind of vibey God, I haven't seen anything about that today.
5:17
Oh yeah, I didn't take it at that. I just
5:19
when he shouted out like his really
5:23
terrible childhood And if you don't know,
5:25
I feel like most people know, but most people know, or
5:27
was an addict had some
5:30
issues, has been I think clean and sober
5:32
for like over twenty years and like really turned his
5:34
yes, I mean life round. And I just I
5:36
feel like jokes like that are jokes
5:39
about someone's personal struggles or like misogynistic
5:42
jokes to me are such low hanging
5:44
fruit to where it's like, if
5:47
that's the funniest you can come up with, you're
5:49
not actually that funny.
5:50
I felt like the comedy in general
5:53
last night was pretty by the
5:55
numbers, and it feels like hosting
5:59
is just like a loop whose lose situation right
6:01
now?
6:02
Yeah yeah, because it's like you either
6:04
make like the misogynistic go after Taylor Swift
6:06
jokes. But I just feel like
6:08
there's ways to be funnier other than making
6:10
some fun of someone's addiction.
6:12
I don't think there's a way to be funny in a war shows
6:14
anymore. I think the format as far as like
6:16
being a funny host is dead. You just can't
6:18
really do it anymore as somebody. I'm somebody who
6:20
writes jokes like that for those
6:22
situations, it is hard to do.
6:25
The only person I see right now doing it well
6:27
is Trevor Noah, and he doesn't really
6:29
so much is write a bunch of like jokes,
6:31
roasting people, which there's a difference between roasting
6:34
and just going at low hanging fruit and like really
6:36
just hating on people. He really approached
6:39
the Grammys when he hosted as more
6:41
of just being almost
6:44
like not punching down, but just
6:46
like highlighting people, making
6:49
fun moments.
6:50
And not jokes were funnier.
6:51
Yeah, and he wasn't so much focused on like
6:54
I want people tomorrow to say Trevor
6:56
Noah was such a great host, and he was so hilarious.
6:59
He just did a good job at what a
7:01
host should do now is keeping it moving along.
7:03
I was just about to say the job of a host is like move
7:05
it along, keep it going.
7:08
Keep it positive, and then highlight the celebrities
7:10
there who they
7:13
come there and they don't really want to get
7:15
ridicule, like have fun with
7:17
them, do some moments that aren't
7:20
necessarily going to make anybody mad, and
7:22
not necessarily try to be
7:24
so like Ah, he really got them with that
7:26
one.
7:27
I think one of the best moments
7:29
in I don't even remember what year it was,
7:31
but was when Jimmy took some celebrities over
7:33
to the theater where they were streaming and doing
7:35
like an Oscar's watch party and they
7:37
passed out like pizza to people like
7:39
I think there's just a way to make it entertaining
7:42
without making
7:45
fun of people. And I'm sure
7:47
some people would be like, everyone's too sensitive,
7:50
but I don't think it's
7:52
sensitive when yeah, you people show up. They're
7:54
there to be recognized for their work. They don't
7:56
want to be ridiculed for
7:58
who they are.
8:00
I agree, And I even like Jimmy Kimmel.
8:02
Yeah, I think he's one of the funnier I
8:05
think Jimmy Fallon would do a good job too.
8:07
Yeah, but again, I think people just don't want
8:09
to take these jobs anymore
8:12
because you're just gonna end up looking
8:14
bad. Like that is really the like the
8:16
best case scenario you do an okay job and nobody
8:18
mentions you the next day, or you do some
8:20
jokes that people don't like and then people roast
8:22
you during the ceremony or the next
8:24
day, is just terrible. So I
8:27
if I had to rate Jimmy Kimmel as a
8:29
host B
8:32
minus C plus, that's what I would do.
8:34
Giermo was funny.
8:36
Yeah, and there's our Mexican
8:38
representation there.
8:39
I love Germo when he said he was married to Shirley's
8:41
there and then Panda her and she's like, I didn't.
8:43
Know we were married, and he his and now everybody shot
8:45
tot tequila.
8:46
Those were very fancy little tequila bottles.
8:48
It was moving gone down the list. Best
8:50
Actress went to Emma
8:52
Stone. I got that one right. So far, I
8:55
have nailed all my picks. That was wait, actually
8:57
I got that one wrong. I went
8:59
with literally glad Stone.
9:01
I was surprised, but I
9:04
was happy for him. I think Emma deserved it as
9:06
well. I thought if it was gonna
9:08
be anyone, that was gonna be either of them. I
9:10
didn't feel like the other three were
9:14
too serious. Although Sandra
9:16
Huler was in two movies that were nominated, which
9:18
is pretty cool.
9:20
Yeah, Carrie Mulligan, she
9:22
was there, and I forgot that she's married
9:24
to Mumford and Son's guy. And you tell me every time
9:27
that I forget that she was married to muf.
9:29
Every time, or I'm like, she's married
9:31
one time. No. One time, I said she's married
9:33
to Marcus Mumford and you said
9:36
who is that? And I said Mumford
9:38
and Sons.
9:39
Oh, I thought he was another actor, But.
9:41
Karrie Mulligan was best dressed. That dress was
9:44
phenomenal, she looked beautiful.
9:47
I thought I wasn't surprised
9:49
that Emma Stone winning.
9:51
Poor Things did a bit of a sweep.
9:52
When you think about this is how
9:55
I have to look at it totally objectively
9:57
and take out what it would have meant for Lily
9:59
Glad's to win, which it would have been a
10:01
big moment we
10:04
were wanting, and I think and
10:06
I think that's what it became more of, because
10:09
I think that would have had more of an impact, would have been
10:11
more showing representation
10:14
in film, which is highly important. I just did
10:16
it in the episode talking about how
10:18
white and male the top ten right
10:21
now is, so I think that would
10:23
have been important. I also would have loved it for her because
10:25
winning an Oscar is great. You don't really get
10:28
money from it, but you're able
10:30
to work more because you can say I am
10:32
an Oscar winning actor. So I would have
10:34
loved that for her. But when it comes down to the roles
10:36
on their own, you take that, you take all that out
10:38
of it. Emma Stone's performance
10:41
and Poor Things is
10:43
more monumental to making that movie
10:45
work. All the things that her character
10:47
went through in that movie and how she depicted that
10:50
was incredible, and it's such so
10:52
much more of a driving force than
10:55
Lily Gladstone's character and Killers of the
10:57
Flower Moon. My real issue
10:59
with that movie is what Scorsese
11:02
decided to focus on in that story.
11:04
If it would have focused more on Lily Gladstone
11:06
and the Osage tribe, it would have been a much
11:08
different and more impactful movie and more of a
11:10
novel movie that probably would have won for
11:12
Best Picture like the book. But they decided
11:15
to focus more on Leonardo DiCaprio
11:17
and de Niro and really
11:20
just became another Martin Scorsese crime
11:22
drama. Therefore, I feel like
11:24
that movie lost some of the impact that
11:26
it had. And also when you
11:28
look at Lily Gladstone
11:31
as Best Actress
11:33
here, it was
11:36
almost like her role
11:38
wasn't as big in that movie as Emma Stones
11:40
was, so it was almost, I don't want
11:42
to say, unfairly matched. But if she would
11:44
have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress, that's
11:47
also weird how they determined this. She would
11:49
have easily won that. Yeah, you're right,
11:51
but I think for her it was probably a lot
11:54
cooler and more impactful to be nominated for
11:56
Best Actress, but just on the
11:58
roles alone and how much Emma Stone
12:00
did in that. I'm not surprised
12:02
that she won, but I just thought that the Academy would
12:05
vote for Lily Ladstone. That was a great
12:07
moment. And here is a bit of Emmastone's
12:09
speech from last night.
12:10
I'm so deeply honored to
12:12
share this with every cast
12:14
member, with every crew member,
12:16
with every single person who
12:19
poured their love and their care and
12:21
their brilliance into the making of this film
12:23
in Orgo, thank you for the gift of a lifetime
12:26
in Bella Baxter, I
12:28
am forever thankful for you. Thank you for
12:30
inviting all of us to be members of this team.
12:33
Thank you. She felt very
12:35
human going up there. She had that dress
12:37
malfunction.
12:39
I was obsessed with that. She was like, my dress is broken in the
12:41
back, don't look at it.
12:41
And the other thing I always forget is that Emmastone
12:44
is married and has a baby as a three year old.
12:46
Yes, I loved the reunion
12:48
between Emmastone and Sally Field.
12:50
Oh yeah, from Spider Man.
12:52
I did. I thought that was like so sweet and
12:54
pure.
12:55
Best Supporting Actress went to Davine
12:57
Joy. Randolph from that The
13:00
Holdovers. Yeah, that was a great
13:02
win for her. I'm I guess
13:05
I'm not surprised at how much
13:07
that movie didn't win, but
13:09
I'm glad that out of everybody that she
13:11
won.
13:12
I will also say we almost missed that award
13:14
because we were going to pick up dinner and we didn't
13:16
think they started with that strong of an award, so
13:19
we listened to the
13:21
Oscars through bluetooth in the car on the way
13:23
to pick up dinner.
13:24
Let's talk about the earlier start time
13:27
on the Oscars.
13:27
I love it nomenal.
13:29
Starting an hour early is the
13:31
way to go because this award
13:34
show always goes on so long, and for
13:36
me, I love it, But it starts to become ten
13:38
thirty, ten forty five. It keeps going on
13:40
longer and longer. Last night it was
13:42
done by around nine to thirty Central.
13:45
Amazing. We were able to watch Abbott Elementary
13:48
after it.
13:48
I was like, that means it's only seven thirty in LA and
13:50
they are all about to party. That's so hard.
13:52
That's awesome for them, the people who just
13:55
won. It's the night is so young.
13:57
You can go out, get your in and out and then go to
13:59
parties.
14:00
I love seeing all of the party picks.
14:02
Oh yeah, that's kind of a dream.
14:04
Like the Vanity Fair.
14:05
So you would rather go just for
14:07
the after parties. I would rather go just to the
14:10
award show.
14:10
Yeah, because I said you can hobnob with people. Hobno,
14:13
isn't it used the phrase hobnob.
14:14
Best Animated Feature, got this one right.
14:17
It went to The Boy and the Heron. So
14:20
so far, I've only missed one of these. Best
14:23
Adapted Screenplay went to American
14:26
Fiction, which I said it would be Oppenheimer,
14:29
but a much cooler win for American Fiction
14:31
to win.
14:31
We loved that movie.
14:32
That was a great speech that the director gave.
14:35
I think out of everybody,
14:38
he felt like the most genuine to just be
14:40
up there, which is cool. I
14:42
know some of these awards aren't the most sexy
14:44
of award categories. Then the people go
14:47
up there and you're like, I don't know who this person is,
14:49
but those people just like
14:52
cherish it so much more. And
14:54
I think that is what makes me love the Oscars,
14:56
because you see these people who either
14:59
wrote or directed these movies, worked
15:01
on the costumes. They get to go up there and
15:03
be recognized, and I feel like that is
15:05
just more wholesome to me than
15:07
like a big Hollywood actor who gets paid millions
15:10
of dollars and is already celebrated all the time,
15:12
other.
15:12
Very genuine people going up there
15:14
was it for Best Documentary
15:17
Short? It was The Last Repair Shop. Yes,
15:20
twelve year old was the twelve year old who's featured in it.
15:22
She looked like a queen. She
15:25
was so beautiful, and she went up on stage
15:27
and she just stood there and smiled, and she had her purse,
15:29
and I just I loved that moment for her,
15:31
Like she didn't stop smiling ah time.
15:34
I hope that like that is like one of the
15:36
coolest moments of her life, is that she got to be on stage
15:38
and I feel like everyone was so excited to see
15:40
her, Like walking down like that moment
15:43
just gave me chills. It was so pure.
15:44
That was cool. Best the original screenplay.
15:47
I got this one wrong. I said it would be The Holdovers.
15:49
It actually went to Anatomy of a Fall,
15:52
which I don't know if the controversy they came
15:54
out right before the oscars of The Holdovers
15:56
possibly being plagiarized had anything
15:58
to do with that. I'm really too
16:01
late in the voting process, but anatomy
16:04
of the fall, a fall of
16:06
a fall. That movie was boring.
16:09
The dog, the dog being there last
16:11
night.
16:11
The dog was the best part in him clapping in
16:13
the audience was the best part for
16:15
me.
16:16
They weren't gonna let the dog go, but it was like
16:18
a thing and people were like, no,
16:21
let the dog and his name's Messy. You
16:24
need SSI.
16:26
It was great, but I feel like some people who
16:28
enjoy courtroom dramas.
16:31
Like found the courtroom drama and that was not for
16:33
me.
16:34
It was not for me. It was like, did she do it? Did
16:36
she not do it? Do I care about this?
16:38
I really don't. But oh
16:41
man, of all the movies to be nominated, there,
16:44
I just I.
16:45
Just put it together. That's why they played
16:47
the instrumental version of the oscarslast
16:50
night, because that was the song you listened to. That was
16:53
how much I wrote that movie out
16:55
of my brain. Is that in this moment right now recording
16:57
this, I was like, that's why there was the intrynal
17:00
version. Pimp at the Oscar.
17:02
I do enjoy the band they have playing
17:04
and all those little things they put in there. I wish they
17:06
would have played the Godzilla song though Best
17:08
International Film went to the
17:10
Zone of Interest. I thought it would be the
17:12
Society of the Snow. The
17:14
more I get removed from watching
17:16
The Zone of Interest, the more I
17:19
realized it's impactfulness.
17:21
Yeah you didn't.
17:22
I didn't like it at all when we saw it.
17:24
I did.
17:25
I could appreciate the
17:27
story and what it was trying
17:30
to depict, which is something really dark,
17:33
and the performances were very
17:35
just cold to me.
17:37
But that's again how they were. And I think I enjoyed
17:39
it more because of my World War two deep
17:41
dives that I always go down. And if you don't know what the Zone
17:43
of Interest is about, it is about a Nazi
17:45
officer and his wife that lived
17:48
directly next door to Auschwitz, and
17:50
it's just about like their lives
17:52
and how they can be so close to
17:55
this like terrible thing happening and just
17:57
go about their daily lives in a cold manner,
17:59
like you said.
18:00
And I think that's what that movie did, was show
18:03
how just dry and cold and
18:05
how mundane their life is despite
18:07
the fact of what they are around and what they are surrounded
18:10
by, and the things heat you see and
18:12
the things that they don't show is almost
18:15
more eerie because
18:17
they don't show it, they don't show what's happening, and
18:19
it's just these people trying to live a
18:21
normal life. And I guess for me it
18:24
was hard to feel empathetic towards them
18:26
in any way because they I.
18:27
Don't think you were supposed to though, Yeah.
18:29
I guess it's just hard for me to be.
18:30
Like, I don't think you're supposed to feel empathy towards
18:33
them at all.
18:33
But for me, I want something bad
18:35
to happen to them because they are Nazis, and
18:38
knowing the outcomes obviously a World War two,
18:41
I want to see them go down. Every
18:43
not to in a movie, I want to see go down.
18:45
So I guess that movie was just hard for me to
18:49
not have that gratification. It
18:52
was just hard for me to also get into because it
18:54
was showing just a dry, slow
18:56
story and it probably did that
18:58
on purpose, but I don't.
19:00
Think it helped you though that we were in the very small room at
19:02
the bell Court, and sometimes it's hard to enjoy movies.
19:05
You're very close thirty person seating
19:08
and you're just like on top of each other. Yeah.
19:11
Best Film Editing went to Poor
19:13
Things. Best Costume Design also
19:16
went to Poor Things, Best Makeup
19:18
and Hairstyling again went to Poor
19:20
Things. They started a clean house did on
19:22
all of the artistic awards like those.
19:25
It was like an easy just throw it to poor
19:27
Things, and they were all like coming one
19:29
after each other. I think that was cool that
19:32
they all worked in that movie together and we're all
19:34
able to win records like that is
19:37
awesome. But
19:42
the one I was so excited about Best
19:45
Visual Effects the movie. I wanted
19:47
to win the movie. I actually wanted to be nominated
19:50
for Best Picture Godzilla
19:52
minus one.
19:53
I'm just gonna go ahead and throw in that. My worst
19:56
moment of the night was when they
19:58
wrapped them off the stage with
20:00
the music. And let me tell you why it pissed me
20:02
off is because they clearly went up there.
20:05
It didn't have an interpreter, they
20:07
were speaking in English, they were
20:09
reading off their page like they were trying
20:11
to do it in English by themselves, and
20:14
that is not their first language. And
20:16
they wrapped them off the stage and I was like,
20:18
he is doing his best to
20:20
give a speech in the language
20:22
that everyone the audience speaks
20:25
instead of his own, and he just needed
20:27
like thirty more seconds. And it really pissed me.
20:29
Off, I know, and that was huge for them. They were
20:31
so excited going into Awards season. Just
20:33
to be nominated I think would have been enough for them,
20:35
but to win.
20:36
They had the Godzilla heels on all their shoes, they
20:38
had the photo of the creator who passed away.
20:40
They all had their little Godzilla figures.
20:42
I know. It was so pure like that is
20:45
what makes me excited about the
20:47
Oscars, the people who are so passionate about
20:50
it, And I think that is why that movie was so good
20:52
and impactful, because they cared
20:54
so much about making a good Godzilla movie
20:56
and they loved the character and
20:58
they gave us that. And to be recognized
21:01
now and not the biggest of category,
21:03
but I feel like that's a major win for them.
21:06
That was my most shocking movie of twenty twenty
21:08
three.
21:08
I enjoyed.
21:09
I did not want to go see it, but I was like, Okay, we'll go
21:11
after dinner on Friday. Loved it.
21:13
And the thing about it is you can't watch it
21:15
anywhere if you didn't see it in theaters or when
21:17
it came back in black and white. It's
21:20
not available to rent, it's not available
21:22
to buy. It's not even going to be on Blu Ray
21:25
for quite a while. They haven't announced anything
21:28
because it is a Japanese film. The
21:30
ball is in their court on when to release
21:32
it in the United States, So as soon
21:34
it's available, I'll try to post about it or
21:37
do a segment on it here because I
21:39
think everybody needs to give that movie a chance.
21:42
Even though it is in Japanese and you have
21:44
to watch it with subtitles, but man, what a
21:46
great movie to see Godzilla after
21:48
thirty plus films, finally get an
21:50
Oscar.
21:51
I've said it on here before. I think that watching movies
21:53
with subtitles makes you smarter
21:55
as you're watching because you're paying attention and reading at
21:57
the same time. And I love it because it makes me put
22:00
I phone down and not multitask. Yeah,
22:02
I'm so guilty of that. When watching a movie, I feel
22:04
like.
22:04
You just eat it up more because you're paying
22:07
attention, and if it's done really well,
22:09
you get all the emotion out of it, even though
22:11
you don't understand the language, and you.
22:13
Don't even notice after a certain point that you're reading
22:15
it, like your brain just absorbs
22:17
it.
22:18
My favorite moment of the night
22:21
almost tied. I would almost say that I'm just
22:23
Ken performance, which I think was the big
22:26
moment as far as the viral thing,
22:28
because yeah, but I knew going into it that that was going
22:30
to be great. I mean, Brian Gosling performing
22:32
it, you brought out all the people
22:35
and they know did the ode to like was it?
22:37
Marily Monroe and Madonna I
22:39
think had also done something similar.
22:40
I just knew that was going to be a big fun moment.
22:43
Aside from that, the moment I wasn't
22:45
expecting was John Mulaney getting up there
22:47
and giving out an award. Here's
22:49
a little bit of that ow.
22:51
The Oscar for Achievement in Sound.
22:53
You know, for years movies didn't have sound,
22:56
and then they figured it out.
22:59
Some people say that the silent era
23:01
was the golden era of film. These
23:03
people are difficult and insane. Without
23:06
sound, we wouldn't have been able to hear such classic
23:09
lines as You're gonna need a bigger boat, I'll
23:11
have what she's having. And he was in the Amazon
23:13
with my mother when she was researching spiders
23:16
just before she died.
23:17
A lot of digs at Madam Webb last night.
23:20
And I think it's just because John mulaney has such
23:22
a funny voice. He sounds like Spider him
23:24
without even trying, just him taking
23:26
is just funny to me. And he is such an
23:29
effortless comedian that we were talking about earlier.
23:31
Who would be you know how hard
23:33
it is to host. I think if he hosted the Oscars,
23:36
ah, I think I would love it. You think he's too
23:38
weird.
23:38
Not even that. I just think that a
23:41
full three hours of John Mulaney,
23:43
his cadence and Joe telling would
23:46
be a lot.
23:47
I think, yeah, maybe he's good in a little burst.
23:49
The worst of the night had to be al
23:52
Pacino giving out
23:54
the biggest award of the night and completely
23:56
watching it.
23:57
Like he was just ordering a bloomin onion at
23:59
the Aback Steakhouse and.
24:00
They were teasing it the entire time
24:03
of like this big legend is
24:05
gonna come out and give the award for Best
24:07
Picture. And he comes out on stage
24:09
and does this.
24:10
Ten wonderful films we
24:13
nominated, but only one
24:16
will take the award for Best
24:19
Picture.
24:20
And I have to go to the
24:22
envelope for that and
24:24
I will here it comes.
24:30
And Maria, I see Oppenheimer.
24:34
Yes, yes, Amatomas,
24:37
Josh Gordan, he
24:43
goes what happened?
24:45
Because he had no clue that he had
24:47
just read the award.
24:49
Doesn't even say who was nominated.
24:52
Stumbles into it and I see
24:55
Oppenheimer and then they just start playing the
24:57
music and Christopher Nolan gets up there and
25:00
al Pacino gets shuffled away. What a weird
25:03
moment. And that is always like the I
25:05
mean, it is the biggest aword of the night.
25:07
So anti climatic, and there was nothing to
25:09
it.
25:09
I think the ones I did enjoy when
25:11
when they did Best Actor and Best Actors
25:13
that they brought out former That was really
25:15
cool winners to say a little
25:18
something about each of the nominees. I haven't
25:20
seen them do that before. I thought that was a really nice
25:22
touch. Usually they just bring
25:24
back the previous winner, but to see
25:26
them all up there together and it was a little bit time
25:29
consuming, but I thought that was a really
25:31
cool moment for each of them.
25:32
I enjoyed that because they were giving
25:35
like genuine moments
25:37
of how they knew the person or like
25:40
Jamie Lee Curtis talked
25:42
about Jody
25:44
Foster correct and they're
25:46
like BFFs, Like I said, Sally
25:50
Field Emma Stone knew each other. So I thought
25:52
the like personal connections
25:55
were really cool.
25:56
Some other moments that were interesting
25:58
to me, as Wes Anderson all so finally
26:00
won his first Oscar, but he wasn't there.
26:02
Maybe he thought he wasn't gonna win, and it
26:05
was weird that he wanted for the short film
26:07
on Netflix and wasn't even nominated
26:09
for Asteroid City, So I bet he was
26:11
like, you know, I love that film
26:13
too, but like, I put out a full feature film
26:16
last year and it didn't get any recognition.
26:18
Billie Eilish has now won more Oscars
26:21
than Martin Scorsese.
26:23
Yeah, I am so over
26:25
that song. Though she has been Her and Phineas
26:28
have been at every single award.
26:29
Show this season, not even just this season.
26:33
I feel like she always has a song
26:35
that's a huge round And I love Billie
26:37
Eilish, but if
26:39
I have to hear What Was I Made For one
26:41
more.
26:41
Time, they played it so
26:44
much, and I like that
26:46
song in the initial stages, but
26:48
now I am I don't need to hear that song ever
26:50
again.
26:51
And I love sad, haunting music, but
26:53
I'm just over that.
26:56
They should have done Dua Lipa's Dance the Night Away.
26:58
That would have been great.
26:59
Were your favorite fashion moments
27:01
at the night I will say
27:04
Billie Eilish looked pretty cool.
27:06
Billy's outfit was fabulous.
27:07
She always looks like she's wearing somebody
27:09
else's clothes, like she just raided somebody else's
27:12
closet. Last night, I
27:14
feel like she looked the most normal.
27:17
It was like a very award show look. It was great.
27:19
Yeah, I thought that was good.
27:20
Carrie Mulligan, Emma Stone
27:23
looked phenomenal. America
27:25
Ferrera, Margot, Robbie, the whole Barbie
27:28
cast stunning.
27:29
Yeah. Ryan Gosling his ceremony
27:32
suit, but also the pink suit he wore during the
27:34
performance.
27:35
Yes, both great.
27:38
Divine Joy Randolph looks beautiful.
27:40
How tan was Matthew McConaughey.
27:43
It's very tan.
27:44
He was so tan. He was browner than I am.
27:46
Well, two tan. Maybe I love
27:48
that Bradley Cooper brings his mom.
27:51
I thought Robert Donney Junior's wife looked beautiful.
27:53
I wonder if Bradley Cooper knew he wasn't good
27:55
to win anything that he's like. I put out
27:57
an Oscar bait film and nobody
28:00
really cared about.
28:00
Here's the fashion statement. I didn't love both
28:03
Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt were wearing these dresses
28:06
that had like floating straps where
28:08
it just looked like the dress was didn't
28:10
fit. I didn't love that style.
28:12
Yeah, it looked like it was frozen and then they
28:14
were like holding it up.
28:16
I wasn't a big fan of that.
28:18
None of the guys wore ties or
28:20
ties out, Like the bow
28:22
tie was there before the majority like the Rock
28:24
Bad Bunny, they came out no ties. Nobody
28:27
was wearing ties.
28:27
It's a little too formal stuffy.
28:29
You know what the oscars are though, like black suit
28:31
tie.
28:32
Yeah, but I feel like sometimes a tie, Like I
28:34
don't really need a tie to look cool. There's cooler ways.
28:37
And more reckless not to wear a tie, show a
28:39
little skin.
28:39
I feel like the like the men's off it's so. I
28:42
saw a lot of like wide leg
28:44
pants suit pants, which was cool. Yeah,
28:46
it was a variation on all of like
28:48
the suits.
28:49
I think the one who did it best is Robert Downey Junior.
28:51
Another fashion of Zendaya. She never
28:54
misses with her fashion. She looks
28:56
stunning. I saw a tweet and they were like, how does it
28:58
feel to be Zendia and know that you just want
29:00
everything just by leaving the house like getting dressed.
29:03
And that he came out didn't have anybody else
29:05
presenting with her, Like does me all
29:07
you needs? Yeah?
29:09
I loved seeing something
29:11
like the after party fashion, like Margot Robbie
29:13
did a gold number and someone was like, I'm really
29:15
sad this is the end of the Barbie fashion tour
29:17
and I feel that because her Barbie Press
29:20
tour looks were a lot really
29:22
great. I could go on
29:24
and on about the fashion Withthicisan Fashion podcast, so
29:26
I'll shut up.
29:27
Now that's still Oscars, so anything else it's
29:29
all fair game.
29:30
I did see someone on Instagram really
29:32
pressed about the fact that a
29:34
lot of the after party fashion was very
29:37
a nipple forward, free
29:39
the nip, and somebody commented and they
29:41
were like, doesn't anyone get arrested
29:43
for indecent exposure anymore? And I was
29:45
like, I don't think a dress like showing
29:48
that it is really a decent exposure.
29:50
I don't really know.
29:51
Women can't show nipples, but John Cena can
29:53
come out in a loincloth wearing
29:55
just holding just the card over. Yeah,
29:58
welcome to the standard. I
30:01
thought that was the forced funny moment of the
30:03
night.
30:03
Yeah, John Cena knows
30:05
that he is just there to be the laughing stock.
30:08
Yeah he's almost. Yeah, they do use
30:10
him a lot like that, Hey you're big and muscling.
30:12
Physical comedy be stupid.
30:14
I feel like the Award Show did need
30:17
that because it wasn't very
30:19
funny as far as like the bits that they did.
30:21
It really wasn't anything. So without that it would
30:24
have just been the I'm
30:26
just kin performance. But that just felt
30:28
like, ah, this is good, the one that everybody's gonna be
30:30
talking about tomorrow. And we rarely mentioned here at the
30:32
end because it felt low for us.
30:34
Yeah, I'm not like a John Cena
30:37
Stan, but he does have a special place in my
30:39
heart because he does do all the like make
30:41
a Wish trips and he holds like the record
30:43
number of like make a Wish things. So I feel
30:45
like he's a very nice person.
30:48
But I do feel bad that he gets just kind of like the trope
30:50
of like physical comedy all the time.
30:52
Yeah, he's hit or miss on the movie roles
30:55
he takes. I think he's really great at Peacemaker.
30:58
He's done some really good work. So when the Suicide
31:00
Squad, which is the same character Daddy's
31:02
Home two, but then he also does like the
31:04
really waggy comedy roles that
31:07
well, like Vacation Friends Part one and Part two
31:09
that are a great
31:12
Part two.
31:13
May I'm thinking if there's
31:15
anything else that I want to shout.
31:17
Out, otherwise I think we have
31:19
covered it all. I was again
31:22
happy to hit that parlay, but overall,
31:24
I feel like usually
31:27
I'm more excited to tell people like, here are all the movies
31:29
you need to check out that one awards, but
31:31
really just Oppenheimer and Poor Things dominated
31:34
and I don't think Poor Things is necessarily
31:36
for everybody because of the
31:38
graphic nature of that movie. Also
31:40
very weird and artsy, which
31:44
even for me, it took me a little bit to get
31:46
into liking it. It was once the story
31:48
developed that I thought, oh, this is actually a
31:50
movie with a lot to say, and it's
31:53
pretty powerful, but just done in a really
31:55
obscure, weird way.
31:56
Another moment I would like to shout out that we
31:58
did not talk about one of the other
32:00
performances, the Osage Singers.
32:03
Oh sorry, my people. I thought that was
32:05
incredible. I loved that performance. That
32:07
might be one of my top three moments of the night.
32:09
I wish that song would have won over Billy Eilish.
32:11
No, I really wanted that. I wanted something
32:14
I think I wanted something for Killers of the Flowermen
32:16
that represented the Osage
32:19
and the community. So
32:23
I would have loved like Lily Gladstone,
32:25
because she was the first Native to be
32:27
nominated, I would have loved that for her win. I would
32:29
have loved that for the Osage Singers. I
32:31
wanted something celebrating the
32:34
Native American indigenous communities
32:36
to win an award like. I didn't need it to be like Robert
32:39
de Niro Scorsese.
32:41
I wanted something that celebrated the
32:44
community that was
32:46
so traumatized by these
32:49
events and overlooked and marginalized.
32:51
So that's why I wish that would have won.
32:54
Yeah, it did not win very much.
32:57
I also would have liked more of the dog from Anatomy
32:59
of the Fall.
32:59
Yeah, that's cool dog best
33:02
actor in that movie.
33:03
Loved learning that Christopher Nolan and his wife worked
33:05
together on everything.
33:06
She has been a producer on every single one of his
33:08
movies.
33:09
That was cool. I was like, Wow, I cannot
33:11
imagine working on every single one of your projects.
33:15
I don't know that that would be good for us.
33:18
My other favorite win was for the score
33:21
of Oppenheimer Ludwig One.
33:23
You Love Ludwig and Big.
33:25
Ludwig primarily because he
33:27
is a longtime collaborator with Childish Gambino.
33:30
He did a lot of his early
33:33
albums. They toured together, he was his guitar player,
33:36
and throughout that time Ludwig was
33:38
making music for TV shows
33:40
and movies. He did the theme song for a community.
33:43
He also put out a EP back in the early
33:45
twenty tens that I loved, and now
33:47
has really transitioned into scoring
33:49
movies like Black Panther did,
33:51
like The Mandalorian, like these really big
33:54
epic scores, and has now
33:56
won a lot of Oscars as well and
33:58
Grammys. He is incredibly
34:01
talented and to see somebody
34:03
go from just doing
34:05
music and like a bedroom to now being
34:08
on the biggest stage, winning awards, and
34:10
also just how much people praise
34:13
Christopher Nolan for coming
34:16
back and being loyal to people. It feels
34:18
like the people who have worked with Christopher Nolan
34:21
have been around for a long time, and I think that's
34:23
the coolest thing. When not only
34:25
do they have actors who they collaborate with
34:27
again and again, but the cinematographer Ludwig,
34:30
his wife, like It's just cool to see
34:32
somebody at that level who
34:35
could rehire people
34:37
at a cheaper rate and just be like, all right,
34:39
I'm the real deal here. I don't need
34:41
to rely on anybody. He
34:43
goes to all these people and keeps coming back to
34:45
them because he values their work. That
34:48
was another cool thing I really took away from last
34:50
night. Of all the directors, I feel
34:52
like he is the most genuine I would
34:54
agree.
34:55
And to end, I would like to say
34:57
that my dream host w to be Kate McKinnon.
35:00
That would be Yeah, she's so funny.
35:03
She's so funny, like she could
35:05
command that audience.
35:07
Yeah, I think it needs a female host.
35:08
Weird Barbie forever.
35:10
I'm over the dudes, the late night talk show
35:12
host.
35:12
It is just like been over dudes for a long time. Let's
35:15
award show.
35:15
Let's switch it up. But that is our
35:17
Oscar recap.
35:19
Anything else to summarize
35:23
Justice for the Gods all minus
35:25
one special effects team want to hear the rest
35:27
of their speech. Fashion was phenomenal.
35:30
Al Pacino was a bust. It
35:32
wasn't that funny joke?
35:35
Yes, there we go, And if you miss the
35:37
full new episode, just go back one
35:39
in the feed and until next time, go
35:42
out and watch good movies and I will talk
35:44
to you later
