[L.A.Justice]

I want to see if Sam Elliot wins...I saw A Star Is Born today...

[albie]

A live thread!? Are you kidding?

[marajade]

She’ll probably win the Oscar for best song.

[altura]

Yes, that was fun. I used to watch the Oscars with a laptop and join in the long, long thread. Lots of snark and lots of fun.

[dfwgator]

She’ll probably win the Oscar for best song.

LOL, ya think?

[marajade]

If you win the golden globe the Oscar is almost a shoe in

[CarmichaelPatriot]

Don’t care.

[CAluvdubya]

Did everybody on this thread know that Carrie Fisher of Star Wars Fame had sex with both Freddie Mercury and David Bowie when she was underage at 17.

I didn't but it doesn't surprise me.

Switching back and forth to the show, I caught the short clip of Bohemian Rhapsody as one the Best Picture nominations. Seems the audience is really pulling for this film. They are excited every time it's mentioned.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Wife has been watching - pointed out that practically every pair of presenters is a black/other duo - hard to believe this is a country where only 1 in 8 is black......

[marajade]

Roma will win

[CAluvdubya]

I think Gaga is a great singer but I seriously think the movie is jinxed. Made 4 times with different actors... Garland and Streisand couldn’t pull out a win. I don’t think Gaga will either.

[Impy]

I turn it on and some short about menstruation wins.

What in God’s name is “menstrual equality”?

[aomagrat]

“Isle of Dogs” got robbed.

[EdnaMode]

Walls for me, but not for thee.

[marajade]

Glenn Close will win

[dfwgator]

Glenn Close will win

Well she's not going to be ignored!

[CAluvdubya]

I think Close will win, too. It’s her turn, they say. She’s been passed over 6 times...or is it 7?

[morphing libertarian]

charlize theron makes my eyebrows hard

[marajade]

Loved her in Aeon Flux

[noexcuses]

I agree.

[morphing libertarian]

that blue dress tonight was kick ass
