If you get the same childish glee from the Academy Awards that I do, you’ll have fun dissecting my choices and reasoning — in your mind, or in the comments section! C’mon, it’s a bit of glamour and it don’t cost nothin’!
Watched CODA last night, and I pretty much agree 100% with your take on it. Thing is, I'm 51 years old. CODA is a great movie for young people (maybe ages 10-20). I'm happy that good films for young people—especially young women—exist, and I rooted along with the film regardless of the Hallmark aspects. I rolled my eyes a few times, but... it's a great flick for kids. I mean that in a sincere, genuine way. Especially considering so much of the garbage Hollywood makes for young people.
Hey, next year, I suggest you establish a separate feed on Twitter or some other platform for a group to interact in real time. I'd participate. With the right run-up, it could be good.
Coda for Best Picture. So much for playing it safe. I knew it all along. The deaf are getting loud. Can you hear their thunder? No? The hearing impaired speak in silence and express in loud sign.

Fair enough!
I still wouldn't call it the best picture of the year. But I enjoyed it for what it was.
The Oscars could ratchet it up with ads on par with Super Bowl. I know that's like the tail wagging the dog but if anyone can do it, Hollywood can!
Wow, Belfast for Best Original Screenplay!
I shoulda known! I was WEAK, that's why I missed it.
WTF, Coppola thanking Bob Evans? Well, there is hope for humans, I guess after all.

Ugh, what a disgrace. Next year it'll be some comic-book movie. I've lived too long!
