LOL! True!

[Rummyfan]

No John Waynes or Jimmy Stewarts in sight.

that is a generation long gone.

[Ciaphas Cain]

Do you know what INCEPTION was about? I am still confused...

Inception is a brilliant film. I enjoyed it immensely.

Tenet on the other hand confused the hell out of me. Maybe Nolan’s looks point.

[Rummyfan]

In the film, Truman is annoyed with Oppenheimer...

True to the book. Truman felt Oppenheimer was a weepy willow.

[Rummyfan]

I remember 50 years ago when I was a kid I cared about this.

LOL! Same here.

[MikelTackNailer]

Nice that “In Memorium” tried to cover everyone for a change. Not good that whoever directed that segment had the camera pulled too far back to see the screen right.

You’d think this event would bring out the best in those entrusted to cover it, but NOOOoooo...

[Rummyfan]

The Zone of Interest was excellent. I’m disappointed that the producer would drag Gaza into the discussion.

Of course he had to!

[stanne]

“Do you know what INCEPTION was about? I am still confused...”

Not a clue. The kids around here watch it all the time

[Rummyfan]

LOL!

[Rummyfan]

I think he is trying to be "fair" by expressing sympathy for people of both Israel and Palestine...

That may be but... Gawd forgive me.... I don't give a f*** about the people of Palestine...

[L.A.Justice]

I liked OPPENHEIMER better than KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON...

KILLERS is streaming on Apple Tv plus now...

Emma Stone just won the Best Actress award...She was in POOR THINGS...She was nude very frequently in that film...

She is not the only Oscar winning actress who has done nude scenes...However...

Finally Jimmy Kimmel mentioned Trump.,.A silly joke...

[Rummyfan]

I'd like to see American Fiction. I've read that it very effectively skewers the white liberal gatekeepers of the publishing industry.

I just watched it last night. I thought it was heavy-handed but also kind of distant. Made some good points but ultimately left me unmoved.

[Rummyfan]

OPPENHEIMER wins Best Picture! Good!

[MikelTackNailer]

Kimmel: "President Trump, I'm surprised you're still up. Isn't it after your jail time?"

From the man who hid his kids Halloween candy, told them he ate it all and filmed their upset breakdown for his show.

[hellinahandcart]

They’re way ahead timewise. I wouldn’t have expected Best Picture til after midnight.

[Dave W]

The movie focuses on his negative traits.

[Rummyfan]

A movie that lionizes a traitor who was a member of the Communist party!!?? Pass.

Oppenheimer was not a traitor! Was he a communist? Debatable. Half of the intelligenstia / media / academia / political state was in the 1930s... it was the new religion. Most eventually saw through it and dropped it. Some did not.

[cowboyusa]

Gottcha.

[Rummyfan]

I agree...Oppenheimer did cheat on his wife...

Nobody's perfect.

[CaptainK]

Love the fact that Kimmel was looking at Trump's Truth Social page while hosting the Oscars. Trump living rent free in Jimmy's head

Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,” George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous. Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years - Disjointed, boring, and very unfair. Why don’t they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them. Maybe that way their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths. MAKE AMERICA GREAT
