happy monday everyone! did anyone watch the oscars last night?!
even though I haven't seen too many of what came out over the past year (since I'm now trying to preserve some movies for the channel) I still get a kick out of watching - I truly don't know why.
I have to say, the In Memoriam section had tears actively flowing out of my eyes. I know I'm still a newcomer to his work, but the Rob Reiner tribute setting up the entire dedication felt quite thoughtful and special - the entire format of the In Memoriam was a nice change-up. but that Billy Crystal speech paired with the lineup of actors from Reiner's movies wrecked me 😭
I was so excited to see Paul Thomas Anderson finally win some long-deserved awards - we've been watching many of his movies recently and I feel like I grow fonder with each film!
I was beaming so big when Coogler won for best original screenplay, and later in the night when Michael B. Jordan won best actor 🥲 Black Panther 2 was one of my first film sets I worked on, and being around him as a young director that I admired was thrilling and I was just so happy to see them both get some well-deserved acknowledgment.
and omg, Amy Madigan winning for Weapons! made me happy because I had such a blast watching that on here with all of you. I think that creepy villain performances have become one of my favorite elements of cinema.
what did y'all think? did you have any favorite wins or anything you wish would've won instead?
ANYWAY! coming up this week on Patreon -
