And last yrs were the highest in almost a decade, it was a freak show from the red carpet on People don't turn it on for that, especially if they are sitting there with their families

they did it to themselves

AGREED! Nobody mentioned is was her 2nd victory? My own personal fav film she was in not per is still CINDERELLA MAN & CHICAGO

Thanks Jakeem, I'm by no means alone in this opinion buddy Moonlight wasn't a Foreign-Film though & didn't also win Foreign-Film-both unequaled, another record, it's ratings! I agree about La la Land as a close runner up though

they gained almost 5,000 new voting members within the last decade as well Close to 9,000 to date now & a preferential ballot Guess they figured it would go along with the monolithic & space looking new museum & library, which Hanks started to show but was cut off?

Now last year when GREEN BOOK won were the highest n almost a decade see people were furious when all the acting nominees were white, except for Cynthia Erivu in Harriet, so obviously they bent over backwards the make up for it In the middle & never mentioned was first time contender & Mexican Antonio Banderas though? & liberals, including Tom 0'Neil who invented golddebery.com actually considers GREEN BOOK a white guy movie, when Mahershela Ali was the co-star & won his 2nd s. actor Oscar for it, after Moonlight? They yelled on goldderby that finally the Academy is now WOKE! unquote

Topic close to my Irish heart All data says he made 154

A[[ararently most of the country & a lot of the world were turned off & turned off the Academy awards on Sunday night getting it's worse tv ratings ever! A 23 share Shoulda known we were in trouble when abc's red carpet pre show started with some guy dressed in a dress with a mustache interviewing people? Middle America doesn't want to also witness the show & a lot of the winners that occurred either, obviously Very first Oscars on tv were in 1953 at The Pantages also on Hollywood Blvd Before that of course the radio Wonder if they will rethink what they did?

Just heard n the radio-(talk radio) it may be an all-time ratings low Jakeem would know

Just looked at more footage once again of PARASITE & just don't get it? Must admit never been a foreign-film fan, but greatly love '89's CINEMA, PARADISO (Italy) with yet another marvelous score by Ennio Morricone This reminded me of another stunning pc BP upset, still not a stunning as this one though when La La Land-(won 6) lost to Moonlight Still my favorite film of the entire decade GRAVITY has swept more at 7 then any other motion picture, but lost the biggie A {ERFECT FILM AT ONLY ABOUT 90 MINUTES!

Time will tell, yet THE IRISHMEN is called by many among the greatest films of all-time!

GOOD SHOTS!

Crash was also considered by most over B. Mountain that year (05) as a big upset, but nowhere near like this

& yet Ed Asner's going on 91

didn't even knw he went? Recall the l970's BATTLE OF THE NETWORK STARS SHOWS?

think 2005 around then is just about when the pc crap started as I said to Jakeem, can you imagine how JOHN WAYNE would feel

I've seen lots of PARASITE online & the massive undertaking that Sam Mendes had to do is asinine in comparison??? Perhaps if Mendes hadn't already won 20yrs ago, plus the multiculturalism factor he woulda won again Look at what Scorsese had to take on vs Parasite's direction as well

sorry posted this wrong area don't agree chariots was a huge upset especially over reds and even on golden pond that year, but this was a foreign film and also won foreign film refuse to call it the new pc term international film

don't agree about chariots... it was a big/huge upset over reds but being a foreign film was a stunner Assuming said die-hard supporter can find some link to "share" and does not have to articulate his own views. WHAT???

I keep trying when the AMPAS turned so pc, maybe around 05? JOHN WAYNE would be so proud, huh

Just got done watching the 92nd Annual Academy awards & man, man, 0, man, what a jaw dropping experience altogether Parasite won Best Picture Gold over l9l7 7 became to only Foreign-Film to win it in history *& much to my disgust Not because like about 98% of my fellow pundits I got it wrong, but I've seen tons of footage of it & don't understand what all the fuss is about except political They didn't stop there it also upset the mammoth work of Sam Mendes for l9l7 for Best Director with Parasite? Even Best Make-Up was bizarre with Bombshell defeating both Joker & Judy? It was cool to see Zellweger get her revenge upon those that laughed at her when she got a bad facelift Now my own personal favorite film of the year is Joker, not l9l7, which is amazing moviemaking though Your gonna see & hear about these Oscars everywhere The worst one's I've covered since 1982 when I started women truly seem to dislike Joker though Did get actor, actress, s. actor, s. actress, both screenplays, foreign-film-(another pc thing nowadays is renaming it international film???), cinematography, song, score, costumes, sound & a couple more correct My finest year was 2yrs hitting 21 for 24 on the money though Scorsese & his Irishman releasing system ton Netflix really backfired It's not even made $1m. either? & as I've written before Tinsel-Town had been drooling to vote him another BD Oscar-(his 9th nod.) THANKS

Tony Curtis blurted this out to Robert 0sborne on a Pvt. Screenings once & why Mitchum turned down The Defiant 0nes-(yet another role Sinatra wanted) ^& though the casting seems bizarre, he also turned down Nolte's role in 48hrs

OUTRIGHT STUNNING & DISGUSTING TO THINK O'TOOLE-(l932-2014) NEVER WON AN OSCAR???

Good goin'

Harry Belafonte outright deserved s. actor for Altman's 1996 Kansas City-(won NYFCC) but wasn't even up for the Oscar & he's going on 93. Rita Moreno also like Duvall born in '31 but didn't cite her either She's in Spielberg's remake of WEST SIDE STORY
