Yesterday, Gints Zilbalodis’s movie, Flow, won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. By doing so, he is the first person from Latvia to bring home the gold statuette to his country.
Therefore, he has some things to celebrate! How did the director party after the Academy Awards? He went to In-N-Out! And they gave him one of their paper hats to go with his Double-Double meal.
I bet he had a better time there than with all of the other winners at one of the Oscar parties.
The Oscars first award went to Kieran Culkin for Best Supporting Actor in A Real Pain, and once again, he gave an endearing speech. However, his wife might not feel the same way.
When Culkin won his Emmy for Succession last year, he announced that his wife, Jazz Charton, would give him a third kid if he won the award.
Yesterday, when he won the Oscar, he reminded his wife of the conversation they had on the way home from his win. He told her that he really wants four kids, and she told him he could have that if he wins the Oscar.
Well, now that he is an Oscar winner, will he get his Emmy and Oscar Culkin? That is what Good Morning America’s Lara Spencer wanted to know. He told her, “We’ll never do it. Never in a million years.”
Maybe if he becomes an EGOT winner, she will give him a kid for each award! Therefore, can someone give him a spoken album to record and a part in a Broadway show so that he can bring a Grammy and a Tony?
Yesterday, Colman Domingo was nominated for his second Oscar, this time for Sing Sing. However, during a commercial break, he switched to dance dance mode.
The actor, who should’ve won, jumped up on stage and instructed the audience to get up and dance with him to Frankie Beverly’s Before I Let Go. And they did.
Because if you see a man in an Armani black suit with a bright red jacket being a ringmaster, you follow along like a good audience. Things we learned from The Greatest Showman, which was also robbed of Oscars.
Conan O’Brien hosted the Oscars tonight. And he made a commercial to remind us to watch movies where they should be watched: in movie theaters and not at home on a smaller screen.
He is 100% correct. I saw Wicked, Inside Out 2, and Sing Sing in a darkened movie house, and I loved them! I watched Emilia Pérez and Conclave on my tablet and shut them both off before they ended.
There is just something magical about going to the theater. Even the worst movie still has some redeeming qualities there. At home, I can’t find any.
Now, if only they could lower the price of a ticket, that would really help.
