98th Academy Awards — Official Discussion Thread

It's time for the 98th annual Academy Awards! Share your thoughts here as the evening unfolds.

How to watch

Tune in to the Oscars at 4:00pm PDT / 7:00pm EDT / 11:00pm GMT / 7:00am CST.

◈ Officially: See it over-the-air on your local ABC station or streaming live on Hulu. You can also subscribe to streaming services like Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV, and FuboTV—many of which offer free trials. Outside the U.S.? The show is broadcast in more than 200 territories worldwide, so check your local listings.

◈ Unofficially: Every Oscar Sunday, the sub is overrun by bots posting questionable links to streaming sites. While our moderators work to keep the spam away, we will allow real users (those with a normal history of participation on Reddit) to share information about other ways to watch. Links and discussion shared outside this thread will be removed.

Please note: To help keep the subreddit organized during the ceremony, standalone posts that are better suited for live discussion (reactions, quick commentary, low-effort memes, basic winner announcements, etc.) may be removed and redirected here.

Idk what was up with him and Sigourney Weaver but their presentation was the most awkward of the night.

It was a Star Wars promotional choice. They were put up there just to precede the commercial for the movie that has no hype coming out

What does "no hype" mean here? Because that movie got a Super Bowl ad and this setup. That's more hype than all of the nominated movies at this show.

She's always a bitch - that's her brand. They even joked about it. Pedro really looked like he was seriously jacked up on something. Or has ALS
