Los 90 Premios de la Academia

Jimmy Kimmel made a knowing joke that hopefully there would be no Waterhouse scandal this year as he once again invited Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway to name the Best Picture winner.

Guillermo del Toro asked Warren Beatty if he could check the envelope, took a peek and then turned to the audience and nodded yes. Wonderful.

The awards were nicely spread around this year. There was sentimentality with James Ivory winning his first Oscar at almost the age of 90. Roger Deakins won an Oscar at his 14th attempt. He rightly got a standing ovation.

Keala Settle gave a barnstorming performance with This is Me from the The Greatest Showman.

After the Harvey Weinstein scandal there were comments made for girl power specifically by Frances McDormand, however the greatest interest was who was going to win the jet ski for the shortest speech!

Within the first few minutes of the ceremony Jimmy Kimmel, the charming host, reminds us that we're only a few steps away from Hooters. That was the tone and I believe that the Academy must decide if the affair is going to continue lowering its brow or can we recapture what this event should be about. The movies! Film, past, present and future. That's why spending precious time in ambushing unexpected public members at the Chinese Theater was a cringe worthy, Hootters style move. I love when the Academy reminds their multi million audience all around the world about their glorious history. Not surprisingly Eva Marie Saint's presentation was a highlight that everyone spoke about the following day, so was Rita Moreno.

Liberal propaganda as usual, will not waste time to write a descriptive review, do some googling others have done it.

Really glad Roger Deakins finally won his well deserved Oscar. That really made this whole ceremony worth watching in the end.

There was a time when user reviews were featured on the front page of each of these entries, but now they are hidden because Hollywood is completely disconnected from reality, and they survive by censorship and propaganda. Critics reviews completely diverge from audience reviews motivated by ever more extreme and shameless politics. Apparently a comic book movie about a black super hero is better than every film ever made, 10/10 by every critic because merit? or could it be something else, so the idea that an awards ceremony run by people this deranged by Trump has simply become a farce. There was a time when Hollywood meant glamour, now, it feels preachy, cheap, tawdry, creepy, and really just a bit sad. These are not the people who can tell stories which delve into the human condition, they actively deny the concept.
