The last time each Best Picture nominee won an award was 2014 but it's not so common since something usually goes home empty-handed.

On one hand, I enjoy the quick pace of the show thus far. However, this show has ZERO character. Zero. And I do kind of agree that considering the great swath of old school film stars that could’ve graced the stage — which Nathaniel always mentions — having Serena Williams or Trevor Noah present seems like a waste of the cinematic prestige that this event should bring.
Whoever edited my post to put an actual racist comment, You have no class.... I actually like this blog but that is rude and vulgar.
Oh, the editing win is making me fear for the worst! =(
Omg Bohemian Rhapsody might go 5 for 5
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is way too mediocre a movie to win this many Oscars. Like, seriously.
I am sad for Alisson Janney
The academy robbed me Alisson Janney giving the award to richard e. grant
Nikki Nice try....again when you don't have any actual response to my comments. Simply attack me and put words in my mouth I didn't. say. What I am opposed to is an agenda by the academy. Keegan Michael key and Trevor Noah have nothing to do with movies this year....proves my point.
I don’t get the Mahershala win at all
Man did you guys hear the cheers for Richard E Grants clip??? How the actual F did Ali win again?
Wait, did Daniel Craig said Charlize Theron could kick his ass? Now that's a movie I need to see right now.
This is pretty bleak so far.
Rami Malek is probably sitting in his seat right now, watching all of these BR wins & confidently thinking to himself “yup, there’s no WAY I’m losing now!”
Can we get a upset soon please? Not on glenns category tho! The tech awards are more exciting this year...
Man, the Academy really isn’t messing around with this “90 seconds or else” rule, and I’m absolutely loving it. Playing people off the stage left & right. Especially those who are going on & on & on & on & on.
There are far too many Blacks on this show, I am so sick of Nigga power.
i think Gil C. is a troll. Just ignore him
Amateur hour. This show is PATHETIC.
I do not even care who wins
No glamor or professionalism.
Gil C.: Kacey Musgrave does not have relations with the movie industry. Are you gonna bitch about it??
Disappointed that A. Janney and M. Ali didn't present the supporting oscars. Hate it when producers muck around with tradition.
Not disappointed that K. Hart didn't host. The 3 magnificent women who opened the show were HILARIOUS.
And what about the songs that were nominated this year? YAWN!!! No wonder everyone predicts Shallow winning.
And I am getting worried that Bohemian Rhapsody might win Best Picture. So far this film is leading the pack with 3 oscars already.
And I am HATING all these ad breaks. Can't the audience just hold their bladders for a few minutes more. 3 minutes of ads for every 10 minutes of award show. No wonder the telecasts take so long.
Nathaniel, you missed Best production design winner Black Panther in you blog post
The Boho success is genuinely disturbing and shows that the post Weinstein industry changes are just click bait.
Thank God Bohemian Raphsody was not nominated for Best Actress
Again, whichever moderator is editing my posts...should be fired from this blog. I see that several people here must only attack others simply because they're unwilling to talk intelligently about an awards show. Childish and sad.
Awkwafina for 2020 host
Who would have guessed that the best speeches of the night would be the 2 SHORT FILMS categories???!!!
Wow!!
I LOVE Awkwafina and John Mullaney. Breathes some life into this dullish show. Yay for the female creators of both categories of shorts!
Gil C.: anyone can write any comment with whatever name he wishes. So maybe someone wrote one of the racist comments with your nick. This has nothing to do with moderators
Ignore Gil C folks. Just a troll trying to upset everyone. He/she should stick to watching Fox News. Over there it is 24/7 idol worship of trump.
And as for the other trolls that are calling the show pathetic or a ratings disaster - well its not over and so far I have not missed a 'host' . The host always comes up with stupid segments like David Letterman's 'Oprah/Uma' crap, Neil Patrick Harris in underpants or those stupid montages where they ask the 'normal' people what films they are seeing.
Having said that, they must bring back Rudolph, Fey and Poehler to host next years Oscars. They were HILARIOUS.
we dont have moderators. Nobody is editing anyone's comments. Everyone please be nice to each other. Please say something you loved about this year's broadcast right now to bring in some positvity. I'll go first: BETTE MIDLER SOUNDED SO BEAUTIFUL AND IT MADE ME WANT TO SEE HER IN A MOVIE AGAIN LIKE RIGHT AWAY!
Glad First Man wasn't completely shut out.
Glad for Ruth Carter
Thanks, Marcelo for a post without attacking. But, I actually had two posts that were altered, and I assume only a moderator can do that.
@Bette Why is it upsetting that I have criticsim of the show? You can disagree with my point or have an actual counterpoint but to attack me without a basis is indeed what a Fox News might do. So it's sad that you follow their lead.
Academy: Thank you for giving me Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler for the non-host opening monologue.
Thanks for great costume intro with Melissa McCarthy and that rabbit.
Thanks for giving me the divine Miss M.who predictably killed that song.
And thanks to the wonderful winners of "The period". Outstanding moment.
And Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper looked just great, nicely done.
I do wish they had done an Abba tribute at the beginning instead of a Queen tribute, but Queen fans are not going to be denied tonight. .
That Bradley Cooper / Lady Gaga performance brought me to tears!!! How brave I’d Cooper!!
Bradley and Gaga look like real movie stars up there. Very nice. Why does this song get so much hate? Don't get that at all.
The best performance of the night. And so well-directed as well. The highlight of the evening so far.
Positive: We’re far from the Shallow now. Time will be kind to this movie.
Who knew Sam Rockwell would be Bob Fosse? This looks bad
Loved Ruth Carter's win. Her interview on Scott Feinbergs podcast was a great listen. The woman has class and was a great example of Spike Lees efforts to bring people through the crack in the door.
So, that's a few presenter combinations that I would watch host - Amy, Maya, and Tina; Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry; Sarah Paulson and Paul Rudd.
Loved Samuel Jackson's dig at the Knicks at Spike Lee's expense lol.
LOL!!! Samuel L Jackson’s reaction to Green Book winning Screenplay! Definitely my favorite moment of the night so far. 😂
oh, well, at least if Green Book wins best picture, Bohemian Rapsody does not. But i am so pissed for Spike Lee. its getting tougher do be glad, Nathaniel
The performance for Shallow is the highlight of the night so far.
Oh, i though spike was in original, sorry folks
O boy
These winners in the big categories are NOT good (except for Regina King). Let's all remember that excellence is its own reward.
Green Books screenplay was good. Not as good as The Favourite or First Reformed, but still good. This win isn’t the travesty some would say.
Ahh man, Spike Lee is the best lol.
Julia Roberts presents best picture. Finally, an Actress is doing it solo!
