Regina King wins Best Supporting Actress. Historically, Best Supporting Actress has been the category with the most black nominees (and wins, I think) across Oscar history. Arguably that says something about how Hollywood perceives women-of-colour.Permalink On Internet Archive

A well-deserved Best Costume Design win for Black Panther (2018). I still think A Simple Favour (2018) should have been nominated. I mean...Permalink On Internet Archive

The Best Production Design acceptance speech was lovely. The Academy and The Academy Awards are structurally flawed and embedded in white supremacist capitalist patriarchy but the winners on stage are up there having emotional highlights of their lives. That's beautiful.Permalink On Internet Archive

Nice for Cuarón to get to go up on stage for winning Best Cinematography after he stood up for the category being presented not-during-the-ads.Permalink On Internet Archive

Best Foreign Language film goes to Roma (2018) which is, as I've written elsewhere, a perfect crystal sphere of a film. medium.com/@SimonXIX/and-the-academy-award-for-best-picture-goes-to-49afbeb91bd3Permalink On Internet Archive

Can I watch a cut of A Star Is Born (2018) that only features Sam Elliott's scenes?Permalink On Internet Archive

Again, a powerful emphasis on representation in the speech from Best Animated Feature Film winners for Into The Spider-Verse (2018). The importance of kids seeing people that look like them up on screen.On Internet Archive

Pixar wins Best Animated Short for Bao which I hope means they'll make it available online again because I really want to watch it.Permalink On Internet Archive

Period. End of Sentence. (2018) wins for Best Documentary Short. It's about the importance of low-cost sanitary pads to women in rural India where stigma about menstruation still exists and is currently available on Netflix.Permalink On Internet Archive

Between Best Documentary Short and Best Foreign-Language Film, it's a good night for Netflix productions and shows a begrudging acceptance of the platform's productions on the part of the Academy.Permalink On Internet Archive

Samuel L. Jackson's genuine delight at BlacKkKlansman's (2018) win for Best Adapted Screenplay is really lovely @KissMyLocs/1099879704914321408Permalink On Internet Archive

It's those kinds of spontaneous delightful moments of emotion (and politics as Spike Lee accepted the award) that make the Oscars meaningful despite all the regressive nonsense and conservatism of the Academy and Hollywood.Permalink On Internet Archive

I can't believe the Best Original Score #Oscars went to Goblin's score for Suspiria (1977) for the 42nd year in a row. Incredible scenes.Permalink On Internet Archive

This isn't much of a p-p-p-poker face 🤣🤣🤣 @MarkRonson/1099908407891419136 This has been a Lady Gaga joke.Permalink On Internet Archive

It's weird that the clip they show of Rami Malek ahead of Best Actor in a Leading Role is him singing and so doesn't feature Malek's voice (or at least is an amalgamation of sources on top of Malek's voice) bustle.com/p/does-rami-malek-really-sing-in-bohemian-rhapsody-heres-how-freddie-mercurys-legendary-voice-was-recreated-12800650Permalink On Internet Archive

Enough people have said but, oh my goodness, Olivia Colman's acceptance speech. Again, just a lovely moment of real emotion. That's important and meaningful and soulful despite the nonsense of the Oscars <3Permalink On Internet Archive

I mistook Julia Roberts for Laura Dern for a second and thought Laura Dern was presenting the award for Best Picture. But life isn't as kind as that.Permalink On Internet Archive
