More curated tweets that amused us this week after the jump...
What do we think the odds are that this year’s ceremony starts with a musical number called “We Don’t Talk About Oscar?”

I like that The Power of the Dog is enough of an art film to really piss off people who don’t like art films (or the idea of them)

Death on the Nile opens with black and white war footage of a de-aged Kenneth Branagh…I can’t describe for you the fear that set in when we began to worry—first as a joke, then as something more like genuine alarm—that we were accidentally seated for Belfast

Can we just acknowledge this specific moment right here as the start of the who’s-gonna-win-best-actress-now era?! #Oscars pic.twitter.com/lxgaTO3W53

So funny when I see people refer to Drive My Car as Oscar bait (a redundant term anyway), yes the 3 hour long Murakami adaptation ruminating on grief involving heavy Chekhov referencesand distributed by Janus Films was purposefully designed in a lab to get Oscar noms lmao

THE POWER OF THE DOG is just as avant-garde than DRIVE MY CAR, maybe more. It's weird that people were shocked that the latter got nominated for Best Picture. I think it's far more shocking that the former's going to win.

A simple wikipedia search told me that Carol Channing did not headline the first Super Bowl halftime show lol... but it was still interesting to read about what the shows were like back in the day.
And I really pray this unpredictability remains within the awards season! It's been so much more fun to follow the past two years when it hasn't been copy+paste contenders at every awards ceremony like it was for so long.
The Cher thing is genius,I know that's Maggie Smith being witty behind La Dench.
Grease 2 is not a great movie but Michelle Pfeiffer is the best thing in that movie.
