Officially they are the Academy Award of Merit from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but they also officially adopted the name Oscar for the trophy itself in 39
The "In Memoriam" tribute left out a lot of people. I think they referred people to a website for a more thorough list.
I don't think that was done before.
Angela Bassett's reaction? Not very sportsmanlike.
Two hours? If only. Last night had to be close to 4 hours. I love the Academy Awards--and it's the only awards show we watch--but that was one damn long show last night.
Sorry that The Fabelmans was barely acknowledged.
I thought it went kind of short. I recall once it ended past midnight.

Oh, yeah. I caught that. She didn't clap and looked mad pissed. I used to like her but not after that.
I didn't watch 1 second of it. I miss the old days when hosts were naturally funny without a roomful of writers writing gags for them. Johnny Carson for example could ad-lib with the best of them, Billy Crystal and Bob Hope. I am sure it was a coincidence that the host just happened to have a late night show on the same network. They totally ruined the in memoriam with horrible music accompanying it. Did anybody listen to the original soundtrack? What happened to real music?
Yes....remember those days...all those hosts you mentioned were far better ....though Kimmel wasn't bad.
And the Academy Awards were held in April for many years ....then it became late March....in the last decade crept up to as early as late February ...
And the stars....no comparison....most of today's stars ...like the ones that won last night,
I could walk past them and not have a clue....
As a side note, I remember finally getting a VCR in late 1985 ...and recording the 1986 Academy Awards Show .....recorded everything ...stars on the Red Carpet....
interviews on Entertainment Tonight with Mary Hart....remember her?....
unfortunately, I taped over all of it years ago...should have kept it, would be interesting to watch now.
I know. I thought {Banshees} was the best out of all the films nominated and definitely thought it should have gotten the award for writing; but nothing. Quite disappointed in that. I think the Academy got caught up in a fad over Everything. It's a good, entertaining film but just not best picture quality (just my opinion).
Banshees was actually nominated 11 times, one more than Everything Everywhere All at Once. There were four acting nominations

The Academy couldn't find it in their hearts to give Banshees the writig award.

Angela Bassett is a great actress. But let's be honest. BLACK PANTHER 2 was not an example of anyone's best work, except for maybe costume design. Not Basset's fault. The script was a bit of a mess.
But to be honest, EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE was not all that great either. It was okay. But great? I guess I saw a different movie than everyone else.
I turned it on 5 different times to check if I could catch them awarding a major category and every single time it was in a commercial break.
Well, once it was on 2 seconds before going to a commercial break showing someone who perhaps just one an award, didn't recognize her.
and I thought your average sports broadcast was terrible.
That's why we record shows, especially long ones like this show. We saw the four hour show in 3 hours, 15 minutes and that includes stops for potty breaks and refilling the wine glasses.

Agree. At one point they made the in memoriam part too small to see, no one needed to see half the screen allocated to watching Lenny Kravitz play a piano no matter how good he is. Worse, they put two images of departed persons up on the screen and alternated between in focus and out of focus and did the change of focus so quickly that we barely had time to read who these people were. Just an all around bad format.
Best part of the show was the Indian dance troupe, amazing footwork and energy. They deserved their standing ovation.
