The Oscars

"The 96th Academy Awards" were shorter starting at 7PM and they were very funny with jokes as host Jimmy Kimmel was okay, and the awards show too was okay. Really no surprises as all the hype was "Barbie" vs. "Heimer". And "Oppen" got the edge all getting wins for best picture, director, and best actor and supporting actor. Rightfully so was the young and pretty talented Emma Stone winning best actress for her turn in the sci fi fantasy comedy "Poor Things". And a memorable treat was seeing Michal Keaton saying bring it on to Danny and Arnold as we all remember their on screen feud days from the "Batman" movies especially "Batman Returns". Overall nothing great not the best "Oscars" still it was a watch for entertainment fans and film lovers!

The 96th Academy Awards, affectionately known as the Oscars, brought its A-game this year. Hosted by the ever-charming Jimmy Kimmel, the show kicked off with a monologue that was both celebratory and politely humorous. The night was filled with feel-good moments, from Messi, the canine star of Anatomy of a Fall, to Da Vine Joy Randolph's emotional acceptance speech (cue a tearful Paul Giamatti). Oppenheimer, with its impressive 13 nominations, didn't quite break the record, but still snagged seven awards, including Best Picture. And let's not forget the completely nude John Cena and a Kentastic Ryan Gosling performance. All in all, a solid Oscars presentation that focused on the craft of filmmaking.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the awards and he is regarded as a safe pair of hand. As long as he did not make jokes about Robert Downey Jr. They all bombed.

Kimmel later redeemed himself with his response to an online review by a former president.

Oppenheimer was the big winner of the night. It took all the major honours. Poor Thing was the poor thing but it still won four. Barbie's Oscar went for a song.

Once again a Martin Scorsese film leaved empty handed. Like The Irishman, lots of nominations but no wins.

Here is a hint Marty. Next time make a shorter film! Actually Kimmel noted how long some of the contenders were. Did anyone think of my bladder.

Some of the victory speeches were still cloying. Seeing Twins Arnie and Danny DeVito take on Michael Keaton's Batman was fun.

A slick show but once again they messed up the In Memoriam section. I want to see the people who passed on. Not the singers, dancers or the orchestra.

As for the Best Picture presenter. Give up on getting the actor who was in that hit movie fifty years ago. It's way past their bedtime.

Finals words:

Great to see modern day movies being awarded because they work hard to produce wonderful movies all the time.

Jimmy Kimmel's performance was disgusting. Al Pacino should have read the nominees for best picture before opening the envelope. They should have shown a clip of the actors' performances before awarding them. I wish they would show more clips of the nominees. I loved the nominations for Zone of Interest. I thought it was in poor taste for the actors and actresses to talk about the acting nominees. They should show excerpts from the performances.

I didn't like seeing so many celebrities presenting the awards. It would be better to have more intelligent artists instead of socialite actors and actresses. They should show longer clips of the nominated international films. There should be more gays and people from other countries presenting the awards.
