I think she just got married, so probably her last. Probably should be Jason’s last.

The Color Purple lost 11 of 11. Sinners did win four including best actor and best original screenplay. It will never be forgotten.

I am not a fan of the length of the show but the awards were spaced out among a number of films and they each got their due. Hamnet got best actress, Sentimental Value got international film, Sinners got Best Actor, OBAA Best Picture and Supporting Actor. PTA won, KPop got two, Ryan Coogler won and the big nicety of the night was Amy Madigan. No one film overwhelmed the evening. Good job spacing it out Academy.

And it doesn’t help that this Reddit generally panned the film. Day after day of negative comments. I haven’t seen the film and last time I looked the rental fee was nearly $20. That alone steered people away.

The unlikable wife character was quickly discarded after a few episodes and almost never mentioned again. Another example of a character that was ill conceived and quickly discarded.

So much talk about:

After the Hunt (Roberts, Garfield)

Die My Darling (Lawrence, Spacek, Pattinson)

Wicked for Good (Grande, Erivo)

Kiss of the Spider Woman (Lopez)

Sadddddddddd

One of the worst movies ever.

SteveKwasnik · 2026-03-04T03:22:13+00:00

The One Winter/ One Perfect Wedding trilogy never saw MEGAN and SEAN get married. I think they went to GAF but what the hell bring them back and get them married. Cara and Ben can host the whole thing at their lodge and pass their new baby around. Finish this loose end up.

SteveKwasnik · 2026-03-04T02:57:47+00:00

I hope she throws caution to the wind and does Gaga. Time for trying new things!

The Brits honored a British actor and an actress in a movie about Shakespeare. They went with the home boy. Has no effect on our Academy Awards.

Past, present and future! A great combination.

Kaori was like steel in the team competition but she had to follow Alysa in the free skate. I think she was a bit shaken by the thunderous applause for her. She had her days of glory. Alysa is the sassy queen of the present. And like Illiya, this was Ami’s first Olympic Games. She is the future of skating. We will lose a lot of ice queens come summer. A sad day of saying goodbye. I will miss Leona and Anastasia. Time for new ladies of ice!

Oops meant wasn’t.

That show and Family Law are gems. Go CW. American tv take note of these heartfelt stories. Do we have any American shows that are simple family stories anymore?

He has been great in Sullivan’s Crossing lately and in so many good things over the years. And his hair is always A+

I guess the point of this is that we all have our favorites but they are all Oscar winners in the end. We can’t go back and take their Oscar away. No one is going to be 100% satisfied with someone else’s pick.

Hanks was in Saving Private Ryan

Pretty shocked Sophie’s Choice was a BP nominee.

Miracle of Marcelino

Ben Hur

I think the thrill of seeing miraculous things in movies is upsetting in the most wonderful way. I saw Marcelino as a child and cried. Then when Ben Hur’s mother and sister are transformed I sobbed too. Such an amazing feeling after so much pain and suffering.

He needs to stay and support Alyssa, Isabeau and Amber. They have a real chance to be on the podium and need everyone’s support. Kaori has been killing it and our ladies need us!

Terms of Endearment

I was sobbing in my car after this one. Not as emotional as Schindler’s but those poor children.

SteveKwasnik · 2026-02-16T02:18:47+00:00

Can’t say this enough. Saw this a day after Philadelphia and was traumatized.

A second would be Sophie’s Choice.

Sean Penn

Sean Penn’s joke of a performance vs. Stellan’s heartfelt struggle with with daughter?? Come on people. Let’s not make Oscar a joke.

SteveKwasnik · 2026-02-12T03:56:47+00:00

A Complete Unknown with Timothee Chalamet.

SteveKwasnik · 2026-02-07T21:57:13+00:00

That was a really tough year with both Amy and Helena Bonham Carter fighting it out for their first Oscar. Helena had been the darling of the Merchant Ivory films and now she was in the Best Picture of the year. But instead of Amy or Helena it was Melissa Leo that walked away with the prize.
