Movie isn't even good. Or technically proficient or anything.

Think it won for Sound editing and mixing. Also editing in general. Black Panther won for costume design and set design I believe. Mahershala Ali won for Best Supporting Actor again. Into the Spiderverse won best animated film. Not sure about some of the lesser stuff been clicking back to hockey a bit (trade deadline tomorrow so lot of shit going on).

Mahershala Ali winning for Green Book is fine, but I'm disappointed Spider-Verse beat out Isle of Dogs for best animated.

Samuel L telling Spike Lee the Knicks finally won at MSG was amusing (while Spike obviously isn't there)

Rami Malek wins Best Actor. I know he was winning at a lot of the other award circuit shows but I thought he might get passed over with some of the other heavy hitters in the category.

This is going to be one of those things that a few years from now people are going to look back and sentiment is going to be very different. It's a lot like Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan or Forrest Gump over Shawshank/Pulp Fiction.

Oh for some reason I thought Rapsody had won. So I'm dumb. I've only seen a few of the movies in the best picture category and none of them stands out particularly, except that Rhapsody was bad.

Julia Roberts looked surprisingly really good.
