The Oscars were a month ago, and now we know when the next two shows will be. The 99th Oscars will be held on March 14, 2027, and the big 100 will be on March 5, 2028.
The Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and Sciences did not name who would be hosting. But I am hoping they ask Conan O’Brien next year and then Billy Crystal for the big milestone one.
Not only will that be the 100th one, but it will also be the last one that airs on ABC and takes place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. So, it has to go out big!
That is not the only award show to announce its 2027 date; the Screen Actors Guild will take place on February 28th.
I was casually having dinner at my local In N Out when in walks a legend after his big Oscar win. Congratulations Michael B Jordan. #oscars#innoutpic.twitter.com/URjdaMcAHQ
Michael B. Jordan rightfully won his first Oscar yesterday for his dual role in Sinners. How did the Best Actor celebrate his win? He went to In-N-Out because he earned those extra calories, and he savored every bite! And all the fans inside the burger joint were eating him and his new best friend, Oscar, up.
Jordan is not the first celebrity to go there after he won an award. Paul Giamatti went there after he won a Golden Globe for The Holdovers. Weird Al Yankovic polkaed his way over there after his biopic, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, won an Emmy. Gints Zilbalodis’s flowed to their counter when Flow won Best Animated Picture at the Oscars. Neil Diamond switched up Sweet Caroline for one of their shakes after he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Sorry, Wolfgang Puck, those little servings are not enough for the winners to eat, so they go for the Double-Double instead.
They say you learn something new every day. What did I learn today? I learned that the Oscar statuette is modeled after Oscar the Grouch.
Did you know that? I mean, it makes sense because they are both named Oscar. But I just never put two and two together before.
However, now that Sesame Street let the Grouch out of the garbage can, we all know the truth.
Now that we know that about the green, I mean gold, Muppet has a message for all the people who won him yesterday: “You are not winning me. I am not going on your mantle or being placed in your bathroom as a conversation piece. And definitely don’t think you are posing for pictures with me or giving me kisses. Blech. You got the wrong Oscar.”
But they did all of that, and more! Rumor has it that several people rubbed Oscar like he was a Genie in a bottle at the Oscar parties, and now he is a lot less grouchy!
This year, just like every year beforehand, the presenters’ bits at the Oscars were bigger bombs than Snow White, Kiss of the Spider Woman, and Tron: Ares combined. Can we please move on from Bridesmaids already? That movie sucked and was not funny.
However, there was one funny presenter duo, and that was Robert Downey, Jr. and Chris Evans. Iron Man and Captain America were there to celebrate The Avengers 14th Anniversary, and the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, which comes out on December 18th.
Evans brought RDJ a signed script from the superhero movie as a present, but the latter forgot to get him something. However, with some quick thinking and Tony Stark money, he was able to get his hands on the thong that Channing Tatum wore in Magic Mike.
I am not sure if he got ripped off by one of those vendors on Hollywood Blvd that say they are selling you the real thing, but they are really selling you a knock-off. I mean, why else would the Oscar winner call it “The official Tanning Chatum Magic Mike Thong.”
Who is Tanning Chatum? I know Channing Tatum, but not Tanning Chatum.
It could be because Magic Mike lost his magic, and Hollywood can’t ever remember his name. Irene Cara’s song Fame lied to him. Back to Tanning. I hope he got his costume back before he hit the pole at some gross male strip club in North Hollywood.
Seriously, even with that blunder, that whole interaction struck Oscar gold.
Conan O’Brien brilliantly hosted the Oscars for the second year in a row. But will he be back for a third time?
If you switched off after Sinners lost Best Picture or when the credits started to roll, then you missed the answer.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences offered him the job for life.
Sounds perfect? That is, until you find out “for life” means as long as he is alive. And they unalived him right after he accepted the permanent position.
Who do you think should host in 2027? Because it looks like they have an opening. Not only that, they have the first person to be added to next year’s In Memoriam.
UPDATE: I didn’t realize that this was a reference to One Battle After Another. I haven’t seen it yet. Actually, I never plan to see it. I would rather a bad horror movie than a boring overrated Oscar winner.
