Very interesting choice having David Alan Grier as the Oscars PA announcer.

You would rather hear someone belting the song out at the top of their lungs on recordings that use auto-tune?

But, it's popular contemporary singing style that anyone can like or not. Some of it has to do with following the popularity of ASMR and that everyone listens to music on earbuds.

They should have brought a translator. I’m happy they won, but he obviously struggled with that speech.

I can't believe they let that guy for Godzilla get on stage so drunk! I couldn't understand a thing he said.

DeVito and Arnie with Keaton was great.

Well, all three winners for the categories with Japanese nominees have been announced. Two out of three winners ain't bad at all.

Powerful acceptance speech from the filmmakers behind 20 Days in Mariupol. "I wish I didn't make this film," or something to that effect. Wow, what a way to start your address to the Academy.

Yeah, that's super weird and disappointing. Is he snubbing the Academy?! Finally wins, favored to win, and he's not there?!
