I find the silence on the matter telling, lol. I hadn't watched it since 2010 but I stayed up 36 hrs to watch it this year. I miss the montages they used to make back in Billy Crystal's day.

The Oscars was last week? Is that why there were a bunch of pictures of actors in formal wear on my dash?

I only saw a bunch of discourse about how either Barbie was robbed or Barbie wasn't robbed because it didn't deserve any nominations in the first place.

I do however suspect that part of Oppenheimer's success was thanks to Barbie (or rather the Barbieheimer trend), so the majority of the awards won for Oppenheimer were probably undeserved.

nah, critical success like awards shows rarely like to reward financially successful movies unless they have artistic credit as well anymore, and you could see the "his year" narrative for nolan for at least two years before the movie came out. it probably would have gotten the same awards. but i agree it wouldn't have made as much money.

I haven’t watched since about 2000 or so. I did hear something about them having their best ratings in years but that it was still a pretty low number and most viewers just watch the red carpet stuff. It’s been at least 10 years since I’ve heard any talk around the office about the Oscars with the exception of the Will Smith slap (that was the Oscars, wasn’t it?). And everyone just watched the clips and read news about it, it’s not like anyone saw it as it happened.

tl;dr it would be surprising to find anyone that watched because even in fandom and media-centric circles they just aren’t worth the time.

I don't watch award shows at all, just hear about things happening through osmosis. But now that you mention it, I literally haven't heard anything about this year's Oscars except one headline about a dog that was supposed to be in the audience but maybe wasn't.

I'm pretty anti awards show, which let me tell you wins me a lot of friends in fandom spaces! (So I generally don't mention it. No reason to yuck someone else's yum, afterall.) But my friend watched it and had a lot to say about the wardrobe choices. They get very excited by celebrity fashion. But yeah, other than a few friends getting excited I really haven't heard much about it.

LOL, I have not watched the full show since the year Jon Stewart hosted. Not worth my time! This year, I was at a get-together with friends and the host turned on the TV in the background. We were half paying attention until "I'm Just Ken" came on, then we dropped everything to run to the TV and ended up watching the rest of the show.

I actually saw half the Best Pic nominees this year, so was more in touch than usual.

Nah, I haven't watched any of the movies and try not to care about celebrities.

I find the silence on the matter telling, lol

What do you mean by this

That no one on fs watched it.

The only reason I know the Oscars even happened was because of MacDoesIt's video covering the fashion for the Oscars - and even he admitted that he didn't watch it. He just looked over photos of the celebs at the show.

Yeah, I always watch the Oscars? I don't really have anything to say or secrets to make about it, though. Plenty of us were live-tweeting commentary about it during the broadcast.

Yeah! I watch every year but I don't really talk about it online a lot? This year I made like two tweets, I saw a lot about Joseph Quinn being Lupita Nyongo's Oscars date and said it was funny that now I've had That Guy From The Show I Like show up as someone's Oscars date... which is more than I've said about the oscars online in years because mostly I talk about it to the people I watch it with in real life.

Did the same this year as most years for the past decade or two…

Waited for the next day (or later) to see pictures of the outfits and clips of the highlights.

Yeah TBH somewhere in the 2010s I just stopped caring about award shows. When I was super into them, I filled out Oscar predictions and I tended to guess the winners way better than my friends.
Granted, I was the only one who read entire credits to a film and read Entertainment Weekly religiously.

I work nights and was sleeping when they aired my time, lol. That said, last year when I woke up and got on Tumblr, I saw a bunch of posts about the Oscars and the “Everything Everywhere All At Once” sweep. This year I really had to hunt through the interwebs to find the winners list.

I actually saw a snippet of it while at dinner. Sadly, I missed the part where John Cena presented the best costume design (mostly) in the nude.
