4 winners and 3 losers from Madcap Oscars

It will not fall because the most interesting Oscars on the record-there was no slap or envelope, after all, but for this year Academy Awards and ending the non-cakophone season price with smooth, without a disaster without calamity in Zelen Oven Hours Argyabury.

The big winner of the evening, AnoraHe accumulated five of his six nominations, including the best picture, the best director and the best actress for Mikey Madison (sorry, demi!). Tea Brutalist He also bent several victories, including one for actor-Slash-Gum-tohower Adrien Brody, while several apparently political films like the Palestinian-Israeli documentary No other country and an anti -alumitar Brazilian film I’m still herePicked up some trophies.

Overall, the vibration was significantly positive – a number of solid comedy bits overshadowed politics with fun performances by Adam Sandler, Bowen Yang, Ben Stiller, Amy Poehler and June Squibb. Inside the Dolby Theater, the atmosphere was cold, the music was decent, most of the speeches were short (not thanks to Brody) and the best of all? We were not stuck by watching Unil after midnight. Can we do this every year?

Yet, as always, not everyone passed a night unscathed and some waiting went home happier than others. Check out our winners and losers below!

Winner: Conan O’Brien kept things strange

From his slightly Gross Center, the way out of Demi Moore’s back emerged to his insolent song routine promise that he would not let the broadcast too long, Conan O’Brien took the most ungrateful concert in the show this year and played just a little. You think he could. We, for one, are grateful.

During the race of his monologue, O’Brien was a friendly baked for not having enough work, Karel Sofía Gascon for her many offensive tweets and Timothée Chalamets for his child’s face. He also got into a really beautiful piece of showing John Lithgow’s disappointed face to anyone who for too long with their acceptance language, plus another long hairy dog ​​with Belligently Bedsied Adam Sandler. (Sandler didn’t bother to wear a tuxedo because he’s too good to take care of his clothes, boasting.)

Making an Oscars funny is in itself, but at the end of their monologue O’Brien One-up alone with a truly sincere honor of what the Oscars mean as a result of Los Angeles fires. After so many devastation awards, the shows of the Awards for Rich Celebrations may feel shallow, but he acknowledged, but Oscars also offered an incredible platform for the talent under them, which is not so famous. That the award also caused nominated technical categories with a type of praise that normally saves for actors? Well, it’s topped on the cake. –Constance Grady

Loser: Karel Sofía Gascon and bad publicists

Soon in the season the award was Trans actress Karel Sofía Gascon hated as the best actress of a pioneer for her move as a holder in the Musical files Emilia Pérez. But things were quickly spiral for the film: the audience not only criticized the storyline for the regressive and unauthorized narrative, but Gasćon attracted negative attention for overshadowing his nomination of Fernanda Torres – and then the real mining field detonated: Twitter users released old tweets Gascon.

It turned out that Gascon had a long history of racist, Islamaphobic, anti -Semitic, homophobic and other offensive commentaries that Arguabury culminated in her thinking in public that Hitler “simply had his opinion on Jews”. Although Gascon soon apologized and deleted his twitter account, the scandal made many viewers wonder why someone with such opinions began on Earth, especially in a role that was for all the shortcomings of the Trans -Chararic Script. On very The least, the question of why no one was erased by her tweets before the Award season, Haut Hollywood would have staff for the coming years.

Tea Emilia Pérez The production distanced itself from Gascon and threw herself into the support of her other nominated actress Zoe Saldaña, who won victory with the best support actress. (Saldaña did not mention Gasćon in her speech, although she thanked the cast in general). The Academy award also seemed to be eagerly distanced from Gasćon during the ceremony; Some preview clips of the film were hardly referred to Emilia Perez As a musical, nominated for the best picture in the difficulty of music Oscars, the cast was missing on the internship. Finally, the film, which originally led a pack with 13 nominations, raised only two wins and Gasćon went home with an empty hand. –Aja Romano

Winner: NonEmilia Pérez Musical numbers

When it was an andede that this year’s Oscars ceremony would not include performances of the best original nominated songs, it looked like a curse. This music show has long been a key part of the ceremony, interrupts prizes and maintains the audience stimulated. However, this year’s nominee list included two songs from Emilia PérezWith songs that were too mocked online. However, one issue of “El Mal” took home the best original song. That was all the recognition that the Academy seemed to want to give film music during the ceremony, and it was ultimatals a good choice.

Evil Stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande started a show with a celebration of film heritage Sorcerer oz And the tribute to Los Angeles after catastrophic fires this January. Grande made “somewhere over the rainbow” of from Sorcerer ozWhile Cynthia Eriva sang a “home” from WizThe ending show shows the “defying gravity” RIFF. Then there was a wonderful random tribute to James Bond (maybe Eulogy, given his recent Amazon acquisition?), Represented by pop stars Lisa, rejoice Cat and Ray with a slightly shaken but entertaining mixture “Skyfall”, “Diamonds are forever” and “live and years”. Finally, Queen Latifah offered the writed Hold Quincy Jones and performed “ease on the road” before the production Wiz.

It seems that the Oscars took notes from the grammy and on stage could have been on stage so much Divás. At the ceremony defined by bland nominated nominated it was a Welcom distraction. –Kyndall cunningham

Winner: Starting 19:00 East

The second year in a row was Hollywood’s the biggest night ™ actually late in the afternoon – the ceremony began at 16:00 Pacific/19: 00. And you know what? Good! For observers Academy Award on the east coast, the show means a show of the show to get to bed closer to midnight. It’s a school night – not everyone can stay so late.

The start of an hour earlier also makes the viewing experience more pleasant. The time pillow causes everything to feel a little less stressful (especially when the manifestations of increments last) because there is basically another hour. Host Conan O’Brien even had the whole musical number/promise that “he won’t waste time”.

Praise ABC and the forces that are, Sunday shows ended 11! –Alex Abad-Santos

Loser: The actors talk about their private business in public

Blame it of the vibration shift, blame it of Los Angeles a fire that shook Hollywood, blame who knows what he knows, but frankly, and dose Private business of people taking place in front of cameras in Hollywood the biggest night. Kieran Culkin, who received his best supportive actor Oscar, told a long, namely a funny story about his wife, whose punch was that he only agreed to have a third and fourth child if he won Emmy and Oscar – because she didn’t think. Meanwhile, Andrew Garfield tried to make a faint Goldie Hawn Cry by telling her improvised, that if his recently deceased mother, a favorite actor, while they were to win in two animated categories.

None of this is necessary, but it is traditionally a trip that you will take care of when you are not broadcast live around the world. Hollywood decided to tear down the borders tonight. –Constance Grady

The winner for the best documentary-the result of cooperation between Israeli and Palestinian activists-had something upset, though only because his lack of American distributor hurt Oscar-winning prices, including producers and directors’ awards. The filmmakers are also objects: Basel ADRA, a displaced Palestinian activist, navigates the destruction of the West Bank, while his friend and creative partner Yuval Abraham, Israeli journalist, live in relative security and stability.

While Oscars largely surrounded political speech (no one referred to President Donald Trump by name), these directors managed to make an unusual direct address. In the supposed speculation, Adra said, “We invite the world to take serious measures to stop injustice and stop the ethnic cleaning of the Palestinian people.” Abraham repeated this feeling and said, “We see each other, the destruction of gaza and her people, which must end, Israeli hostages, brutally admitted in crime of 7 October, which must be exempt,” before he stands directly to American foreign policy. –Meedith Haggerty

Loser: Recorded presentation “Fab Five”

One of the most popular recurrent features in the Oscarch is what is called the Fab Five format in acting categories. GIST: Five previous winners of each category – best actor, best actress, best supportive actor, best supportive actress – is Busht on stage to introduce and praise the nominated and announced the winners. It is a moving way to honor the history and importance of the price.

Fab Five was supposed to be used this year, but probably because of the impossible tzrostná optics introduction nominated for the best actress Karel Sofía Gascon and the controversy surrounding her Islamophobic and anti-black tweets was the format nixed. Instead, the Oscars consolidated. Three of last year’s winners – Robert Downey Jr., Da’vine Joy Randolph, Cillian Murphy – said something about each of the nominated categories. Meanwhile, Emma Stone, who introduced the best actress, just introduced the category and said nothing specific about nominated actresses, who included Demi Moore, Fernanda Torres, Cynthia Erivo and Mikey Madison.

The result felt a little less personal and a little more embarrassing. Occasional glibness downey Jr. It wasn’t really good to give the other actors a moment in the sun, and there was no way to avoid the stone in the room. One more way Gascon Blowup affects vibration on this year’s show. –Alex Abad-Santos
