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
