Oscar Wrap Up 2019









Well that didn’t go well. Took some risks that didn’t pay off and really wanted BlackkKlansman to get more gold. The ceremony was just okay. The no host thing didn’t bother me; I did like the SNL ladies taking temporary hosting duties at the start. There were some fun presenters: Melissa McCarthy’s outrageous costume and John Mulaney & Akwafina’s newbieness come to mind. Most speeches were forgettable. The exceptions were Documentary Short’s joy over menstruation winning an Oscar, Spike Lee’s giddiness and Olivia Colman’s entire speech. The show went fifteen minutes over the three hours. Instead of cutting out awards, maybe the show could trim time by taking out a bunch of the commercial breaks, especially at the end. Other than not doing well with my predictions, the most disappointing part of the show was the lackluster nomination packages. They were so plain; no fun at all. Surprised that Roma lost out to Green Book (however, I enjoyed Green Book more despite the cinematography of Roma). Anyway, here’s who won:
