Congrats to Adrien Brody, but it should have been Colman Domingo.

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

#Oscars Best Cinematography- The Brutalist I mean, it was good, don't get me wrong. I just can't get over Dune Part II and Nosferatu for their cinematography

#Oscars Best VFX- Dune Part II again!!! VFX and Sound are two big reasons why this film is #1 on my list for 2024

#Oscars Best Sound- Dune Part II Hell yeah! 1. Incredible sound 2. Denis deserves the applause. Should have gotten best director nom 3. Playoff music was done way too early. Rude

K, we've endured the two inevitable Emilia Pérez wins. Plz, no more?

Emilia Perez sucks and they should give these awards to better movies, IMO

#oscars Best Editing- Anora Tbh, editing is always a hard thing for me to judge. I'm fascinated by the process, but I wouldn't know where to begin with scoring this category

#oscars Best Supporting Actress- Zoe Saldana!! A predictable win, but I can't be too mad, I love Zoe. Been a huge fan since Centerstage Love her passion, and she should have been nominated for Best Actress over Karla

#oscars Best Production Design- Wicked!! The effort put into production design for this film is really something, I completely get this win I really hope Dune wins something though. It absolutely deserves it

feels weird to be watching an Oscars where the host, the writers, maybe even everyone involved actually seem to love movies. and it's funny, they're not just taking tedious, mean-spirited potshots at movies for the entire runtime. pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying this

Danforth drags his stick across Edvinsson's face, takes the puck and scores. Refs somehow missed it. EGREGIOUS high stick. What a joke. #LGRW

Tonight's #LGRW game recap: What a STUPID way to lose a hockey game. There's more to this loss than the missed call, but the refs not calling the easiest high-stick they'll see all year absolutely robbed Detroit of a point. Gut punch as the Red Wings drop both to CBJ in reg.

Kinzinger: There’s a reason that every Trump cabinet member has had to tweet how strong he was today. Because they got the memo from The White House that they better come out and support Trump because this is a really bad day for them and they know it

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Trump thinks Zelenskyy needs to be nicer to Putin, the criminal who invaded his country unprovoked and killed hundreds of thousands of people for no good reason. Incredible.

“He’s gotta stop the fighting” — Trump on Zelenskyy (note how he never makes this demand of Putin, the aggressor)

Bolton: This is number one, not the kind of discussion you have in public. Trump could have cut it off at any point. Which leads, I think, people to speculate maybe this is what he wanted.

Trump, and by extension the American government, has sold out our ally and is now on the side of Putin’s despotism. This is what 77 million Americans voted for in pulling the lever for him. Trump’s fondness for Putin was no mystery. It’s a stain upon our country and a disgrace.
