I’ve always wished they would silence the mics during the In Memoriam. People like Connery get thunderous applause, and some cinematographer from the 60s that no one remembers gets almost nothing.

That's actually very true.
You can measure the impact someone's had on the industry on the volume of applause/cheer that person gets in memoriam.
It breaks my heart to hear the soft ones. I can't imagine what their relatives must feel.

In a press statement, Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson called the upcoming telecast — to be held amid the global coronavirus outbreak that has decimated Hollywood's theatrical release schedule — the "perfect occasion for innovation and for re-envisioning the possibilities" of the annual awards show. Though recent trade reports claimed the Oscars would definitively hold an in-person event, EW has learned that no concrete decision has been made on that front.

re: The 2021 Oscars Discussion Thread
Mayyyyybe it's the pandemic but for the first time I've not heard of a single flick in the Best Picture category. Actually, out of all of these films I've only seen My Octopus Teacher (amazing, BTW) and have, of course, heard of Borat.

I think part of it has been the lessened advertising from Covid and also the weird release time lines and the fact half of them were straight to streaming.
The Father - Released three weeks ago in theaters.
Judas and the Black Messiah - Debuted on HBO Max + Theaters a month ago
Mank - Netflix
Minari - Theaters
Nomadland - Hulu + Theaters
Promising Young Woman - Theaters
Sound of Metal - Amazon Prime
The Trail of the Chicago Seven - Netflix
It's kinda strange when the closest movie to a comedy (dark comedy) nominated is the revenge thriller about sexual assault.

A little disappointed that Regina King didn’t get a Directing nod for One Night in Miami and Delroy Lindo didn’t get an actor/supporting actor for Da 5 Bloods
Also,the Mank love is a little nauseating. I can see the Best Cinematography nomination but not much else.

I'm glad to see Collective get noms for both Foreign and Documentary. Incredible film. Highly recommended.
Also glad to see Minari get so much.
Thomas Vinterberg for Another round is a nice surprise. I wish Mads got a nom.

re: The 2021 Oscars Discussion Thread
If both the roles of Judas and The Black Messiah are considered supporting performances, who is the lead?
