Maybe we’re just masochistic, but regardless of the persistent snubbing of horror as worthy of cinematic celebration at the highest level…we still tune in to see who will take home that little golden man named Oscar. And I hope you’ll join us!
Enjoy our commentary below, and feel free to comment along with us.
Thanks so much everyone who watched along with us!
This now concludes our coverage of the 92nd Academy Awards.
Goodnight!
Yup! Somewhere in the last few months I started inexplicably agreeing more with Jacob, so I need to fill the spot with someone! Based on our opposition re: Joaquin and Parasite, you seem like a solid candidate. Let the battle begin!
Why is he being allowed to talk for so long? It’s a confused mess of a speech with some good points.
I knew I could count on you to yell at me, Elizabeth! I totally see that perspective. I just thought it was brilliantly compelling and much more interesting. I don't know why, but I just wasn't that impressed with Parasite. It was certainly good - I just didn't think it was THAT good.
Also, totally agree that it was gross that they didn't include Sid Haig. That's crap.
I yell at you, Kelly! Parasite is such an amazing film and Joker is a rehash and less inspired version of Taxi Driver.
After watching Joker, I'm voicing the unpopular opinion that Joker is getting robbed tonight (especially when compared to Parasite) - you can all yell at me now
His love for the other directors and his reference to Texas Chainsaw Massacre is just awesome.
Winner of best score is Joker! First woman composer to win! And the medley of scores performed just dazzled.
ok - in my defense - I put different answers for my family competition, and I have gotten 9 right
Omg James Corden and Rebel Wilson dressing up as their characters and skewering their own movie for bad visual effects is *chef’s kiss.”
Ok HOW did I not realize until 10 minutes ago that Cynthia Erivo is the psychic in The Outsider!?!?

Will Ferrell didn't fart once.
That aside, Julia & Will are so funny and I love it.
Best Cinematography goes to...1917.
There goes our The Lighthouse chance...
Winner of best cinematographer is 1917. (Also wow, the presenters are mean to make a joke of their whole job.)
Randy Newman performs I Can’t Let BB You Throw Yourself Away from Toy Story 4. He’s been nominated for 20 Oscars!
Winner of best supporting actress is Laura Derne! (Also check out the Gay Men’s Chorus tribute to her from the Independent Spirit Awards.)
Hunk, Mahershala Ali presenting best Actress in a Supporting Role.
The winner is...Laura Dern (Marriage Story).
Lots of amazing performances here. Would have moved my vote to Johansson or Bates if I'd seen those films before locking in. Still haven't seen Marriage Story or Little Women.
Winner of best documentary short subject is Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You’re a Girl)! Kelly 3, Byron 3
Workers of the world unite! Makes me feel bad that I didn’t watch any of the documentaries and why wasn’t Horror Noire nominated????
Bruce Banner loves himself.
Best Documentary Feature goes to...American Factory.
Kelly & I whiff, but the movie looks good.
Now I'm pretty sure I'm having a conversation with myself. Either that, or I'm still doing this all wrong.
Also Brad Pitt shouting out actual stuntmen for his performance as a stuntman is awesome. Give them some awards!
Wow. An impressive acapella tribute to clothing that went way better than expected. Winner of best costume design is Little Women! Kelly 2, Byron 3
The Oscar for Costume Design goes to...Little Women!
And I guess I guessed right, but after seeing Jojo Rabbit, I would have changed my vote.
Kinda killing it acapella, but will it beat Billie?
Thong song reference? "I think I'll sing it again!".
The winner of best Production Design is...Once Upon a Time in Hollywood!
How cool is that? AND I GOT IT RIGHT.
This is adorable, that head kiss.
Best Live Action Short Film goes to...The Neighbors' Widow!
And it's my first correct guess.

Bong Joon Ho beaming at his Oscar is infectious and Timothee Chalamet is dressed like Michael Myers.

That mic slip!
Best Original Screenplay goes to...Parasite...
I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of this tonight...
I guessed Knives Out (which was pretty fun I must say).
Kelly said 1917 AND Once Upon a Time...
When Keanu wears a suit, I get nervous that he's going to shoot a few dozen people in the head, efficiently.
A beautiful performance from international Elsas of Into the Unknown from Frozen 2. The animation on the stage is nothing short of magical.
I don't have anything to say about Frozen, I apologize.
And I don't love Adam Green movies, but I can say I do like his version better.
Best Animated Short goes to...Hair Love!
Another win for Kelly...she's pretty good at this guessing thing...wonder where she is...
And the winner of Best Animated Feature is...Toy Story 4!
Jaimee guessed it. K & I blew it putting our vote in holiday basket with Klaus.
This speech seems a bit stiff...but heck, they're animators.
On to the shorts...

I’m fine with that first award. Although I still think DaFoe should have won for The Lighthouse...
I envy the bromance between Leo & Brad. And appreciate the stunt guy shout out!
Brad is getting emo, and dunks with his last remarks.
Winner of best supporting actor: Brad Pitt for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood! Kelly 1, Byron 0
Performance in a supporting role goes to...Brad Pitt.
Kelly correctly predicted. I guessed Hanks.
Jeff Bezos didn't seem to appreciate remarks from Martin & Rock. I'd imagine he's perpetually thinking, "I could buy this place...".
Sadly, Steve Martin left his banjo at home. Rock and himself take it all in as the first presenters.
Awwww. Janelle Monáe sings Won’t You Be My Neighbor from Mr. Rogers to start the show. I appreciate the nods to Midsommar and Us in the background dancers and she got crowned May Queen. 🌸
