OSCARS 2017

33 minutes late but http://freetvstream.in/de/tv/pro7.php seems to work. Without registration. Previous registrations failed. Needless effort.

O.J. wins Best Documentary - haven't seen it but picked it as the winner in an Oscar guesses competition so I'm happy anyway. The joke, however, is tasteless indeed.

Technical disruptions occur... What a year... Last time it went so smoothly.

Jackie Chan is dressed so Chinese!

I liked the bit about women being able to oppose without hatred. However, the Best Actress in an "Opposing" Role is Viola Davis, not my fave Naomi Harris or even Victoria Spencer. But I love her speech about artists being the only profession which "celebrates what it is to live a life".

Watching the commercials. American movies dubbed in German sound funny, especially "La La Land".

"Viola Davis has just got nominated for an Emmy for her Oscar speech" - good one. A tour bus is going to visit them unaware they'll see Oscar dresses on actual people - "does anyone know CPR?"

Charlize Theron always amazes me with how tall she is.

Over 80 different nations submitted films. I'm happy "Toni Erdmann" didn't win. I wasn't delighted with "The Salesman" either but at least it was a normal film, not that weirdness.

"Piper" was definitely the best short animation and rightfully won. "Zootopia" wins too! Wow! "the story of tolerance being more powerful than the fear of other". Hailee Steinfeld has got the evening's best dress imho.

Funny to see Dakota Johnson dressed up to her neck. Another interruption again (I'm going to murder my isp).

Now watching on http://www.streamlive.to/view/68969/ABC - poor quality and lots of pop-ups but works. Keeps breaking-up awfully.

OMG, Michael J. Fox on the stage. And looking good.

Jimmy Kimmel is tweeting to Donald Trump: "merylsayshi"

Explaning what film scientists and technologists do: "For example when you watch 'Star Trek' it looks like they're in space but in actuality they didn't shoot it in space".

Scarlett Johansson has always looked piggish and today, with her hair up and in her pink dress she just looks the piggiest ever.

The In Memoriam list includes Polish director Andrzej Wajda.

"Just that the script is adapted doesn't mean we love it any less."

Hally Berry with an afro hairstyle.

Like Leonardo di Caprio said, great acting is when you see the character they've become. Emma Stone has become her character more than Natalie Portman did as I kept comparing her to Jackie Kennedy. Dying to know who wins...hah! Emma Stone.

Just can't believe it! They read the wrong title?! Anyway, "Moonlight" was better than "La La Land". The musical was fun but not that ground-breaking. What's funny is that the Polish distributor of "Moonlight" couldn't get the movie into huge cinema chains, only indie theatres decided to screen it. A lot of mistakes around the picture.
