This won't be as in-depth as usual, it'll be brief. Essentially bullet points.
I loved John Cena.
I hated Across the Spider-Verse snub.
Aside from John Cena, I can't say any other celebrities that handed out awards impressed me.
I hated The Holdovers' "in-general" snub.
But if the movie was going to only take home one award, it should've been supporting actress.
I liked Oppenheimer more than The Holdovers, but I wanted The Holdovers to win best picture. So I should be more happy about Oppenheimer's best picture win. But I'm not. (Especially since I chose Oppenheimer on ESPN's Fantasy thing, like the majority of people.)
Christopher Nolan's win was unsatisfying because, he's been nominated before and a while ago. Sure "long time coming" but sometimes if it's so long, like Leo in 2016, it just isn't satisfying. You're like "alright great, the academy figured it out finally." Plus Chris is subdued...I have to assume that's why he in general is less excited when speaking about things. He's trying to be polite and calm? (Towards the end of this speech even, he seemed to be holding back emotional expression. He should've let it out!)
It seems like every year, there's less and less nominees "in general" that I've seen or liked. (Aside from the recent uptick in blockbusters nominated for best picture, but I don't even like most of those honestly.) But this year was a particularly brutal year, because several were about events I don't want to see in a movie, or in other languages. Foreign movies are not bad, but when they're not like "Godzilla Minus One" or "Train To Busan" or "Amelie" you know entertaining and enjoyable...it can get very emotionally draining, very quickly.
I didn't make a vlog for my YouTube channel, or even film my reaction to best picture. We had a bit of a cluster, and didn't start watching until 9:00? 9:30? We definitely only barely finished before midnight.
