Oscar Night Reactions: Part 2

If you missed part one, click HERE.

Some of the Team Experience writers were almost as happy for Amy Madigan's win as Ed Harris.

For the second half of our Team Reaction blurbs from the 98th Academy Awards, we asked Team Experience about the moments that perplexed them, broke their hearts, and brought them joy... and if there's any last thing about awards season anyone would like to get off your chest.

It's all after the jump...

Oscar Night Reactions: Part 1

Multiple writers were ecstatic over the MOULIN ROUGE! reunion at the end of the telecast.

Dear readers. We polled Team Experience about the big night and of course we need your responses too in the comments. Best Jokes, Best Presenting Moments, Best Acceptance Speeches, and the moment we knew it was over for Sinners (in terms of a Best Picture win. This is part one of two posts. Here are the first four questions which we hope you'll answer in the comments, too.

Ready? Let's go...

Team Experience Predictions: FINAL RESULTS!

by Cláudio Alves

Looking back, it's notable that, of the four acting winners, Michael B. Jordan was the only one some predicted would be snubbed of a nomination altogether. Eric and Nathaniel had him out of their final five in our first round of predictions. Look at him now!

The Oscars are over, and the next week of posts here, at The Film Experience, shall be dedicated to saying goodbye to the season that was before looking forward to the cinematic year that’s still just starting. One of the first matters to resolve is that of the team's predictions. Every year, we compete to see who’s most accurate out of the lot, both at the nominations and winners’ stages. Last year, Eric was the most accurate pundit at guessing the nominations, but Lynn Lee beat him in predicting the right victors. This year, Baby Clyde was the best of us all at sussing out who AMPAS would nominate. However, wins-wise, a new champion has been crowned. Or maybe two. Let me explain…

As ever, there are some ties to report as our voting body is quite small, with Supporting Actress and Costume Design the tightest races of the lot. Sentimental Value and The Secret Agent fans will also have reason to rejoice, with each flick scoring three prizes. Indeed, half of our winners come from international cinema...
