Never in my drunkest fantasies have I ever thought Warren Betty was hot. Even when he was a young man I couldn't imagine him working up energy to make love to anything except his ego.
Beatty is purdy in Splendor in the Grass.

I was watching on dvr on a slight delay and had to fast forward through that greatest showman song it was so fucking irritating. I know we all like to make fun of the sufjan but that was a nice (and short performance) and I liked seeing Annie Clark and Chris Thile up there. Other performances were all pretty great too.

I'm shocked they did with everything else going on, yes. slightly less shocked that they voted for Oldman considering his reputation as well but maybe they feel taht's far enough in the past.
i'm really glad Alison Janney won. I thought she was amazing in I Tonya (so was Margot Robbie actually).
― akm, Monday, 5 March 2018 14:56 (six years ago) link
Janney's pause, point, glance into the camera and then "I did it all on my own!" before then composing herself and thanking a ton of people was officially A Great Moment.

i never saw what everyone else saw in janney's performance - seemed like a very very good impression or caricature but not a ton of notes to play. my pick was metcalf followed by manville, but i also haven't seen mudbound.

I don't mind performers doing goon show imitations of people but Janney did nothing with the already pallid script.

This is a pretty good (pre-show) rundown of the contenders by A.S. Hamrah, tho I don't share all the brickbats or praise:
Allison Janney goes beyond simple ludicrousness. Her performance, equipped with shoulder parrot and emphysema hose, exhales malice in an anti-Lady Bird evocation of working-class motherhood....
Call Me by Your Name’s strength is that it really does seem like the character played by Timothée Chalamet made the film himself. Who else but an actual actor-director would end his film by staring tearfully into a fireplace in winter because he’s realized he will always be separate from other human beings, even though he spent last summer having sex in Lombardy with two kind and very attractive people (Armie Hammer and Esther Garrel)? The first Sufjan Stevens song that interrupts the movie so we can concentrate on nature for a few minutes also indicates the hand of Chalamet’s Elio at work, as he remembers how beautiful it was and how nothing hurt, before he found out on that last trip that Hammer’s Oliver was going to start dancing in public to “Love My Way” again.

For a few seconds this morning I forgot what won Best Picture.― Josh in Chicago
Usually takes longer than a day, but I do believe that's where this one's headed: Best Pictures that people barely remember and never talk about. The Out of Africa/Shakespeare in Love/King's Speech group of Best Pictures. (American Beauty at least has the advantage of being hated by most people.) In fairness, I haven't seen it. I never will--zero appeal.
