I am assuming that Kris Jenner is hard at work trying to get Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend a job. That is because Page Six is reporting that Pete Davidson is in talks to talks to host the Oscars. Doesn’t that feel like a PMK thing?
The source told the site that he attracts a younger demographic, and that is why they are considering him. However, I can’t see ABC/Disney going for someone who is as raunchy as him to host their biggest show of the year. Plus, he comes from an NBC show. But then again, they let Seth MacFarlane host; and he is raunchy and has a few Fox shows.
Seriously, I don’t see it. But I have never seen what anyone sees in Davidson. I don’t find him funny. And if he hosts, then I won’t watch. But truth be told, I wasn’t planning on watching. I was hoping I could get the fourth COVID-19 vaccine shot on that day. Just like I got the first one on Oscar Sunday. So I slept through them, and I heard I didn’t miss anything.
Back to this year’s Academy Awards, I was just thinking that Seth Rogen would be a good choice to host the shindig. I can see him calling everyone out who doesn’t follow COVID-19 protocols, he attracts a young audience, and he can be funny. But that could be because we get a contact high watching him.
The Oscars has not had a host since 2018. Something the awards show desperately needs again. So today, Craig Erwich, president, Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment, announced at their TCA Press Day that they will have one on March 27th. That is unless COVID-19 postpones it like all of this month’s award shows.
Anyways, back to the host. They did not mention who will be the Master of Ceremonies. Since Will Packer, the producer of this year’s Academy Awards, has worked with both Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish, I am assuming it will be one of them.
I just want someone who is not political. The host can make fun of celebrities all they want, but can we have a night free of politics?
Due to the pandemic, the Oscars had a longer eligibility period last year. Because of that, they shortened this year’s period. Therefore, only movies that are released between March 1, 2021, and Dec. 31, 2021, will be eligible to be nominated. Something that is fair because that is technically when movie theaters started to open up.
The Oscars is not only changing that date. They are also changing the date of the show. Instead of airing on February 27th, they will air a month later.
Hopefully, next year’s show will be better than this year’s. But then again, how can anything be worse.
This year’s Oscars was a complete bore except for one moment. That moment was when Lil Rel asked Glenn Close about the song Da Butt. Not only did the Oscar nominee school him on it, but she also did it for him.
So was that unforgettable moment preplanned, or was it completely spontaneous? Close explained how it all went down on Sunday night.
We had the MOST FUN at our table at the Oscars last night. Chris Terrio, one of my best friends, who won an Oscar for the screenplay of ARGO, was my gallant escort. Daniel Kaluuya and Darrell Britt-Gibson were wonderful table mates. I knew that Lil Rel was going to quiz me about Da Butt and all three guys helped me run through what I was to say. Darrell insisted that I mention the Backyard Band, on top of E.U., Suga Bear and the whole DMV. I had googled “Da Butt” and watched Spike’s music video so when Lil Rel asked if I could do the dance…you can actually see me think of the video. That part was completely spontaneous. Daniel, Darrell and Chris egged me on!!! It was ALL their fault. CONGRATULATIONS DANIEL on your BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Oscar. You are completely brilliant. I now consider both Daniel and Darrell to be friends-for-life!
So it was planned, but it wasn’t. Either way, it worked out brilliantly for everyone but Patti LuPone. Close’s mortal enemy is probably not happy that the actress was the Belle of the Ball and not Da Butt of all jokes
Shortly after the Oscars started, Misha Collins started trending on Twitter. That is because people saw him there and wondered what he was doing at the Academy Awards.
When he saw his name trending, he took to social media to explain what he was doing there. “I am at the #Oscars tonight with my BFF since I was 12. He has won two Oscars tonight so far for his film, #SoundOfMetal. So proud of you, @dariusmarder.”
Marder co-wrote Sound of Metal, and the film brought home two awards, one for Best Editing and the other for Best Sound. While Marder did not win for Screenplay, his film got the recognition it deserved.
Congrats! It is the first Oscar winner I am going to watch today.
