Every one I went with that was expected won and anything I went with that wasn't an obvious favorite I was wrong
Yeah, the only thing the general consensus/betting odds picks have missed so far is Animated Short. Should've just went with all front-runners in my ballot lol

he kinda did? but Jada definitely didn't and was visibly annoyed so I'm guessing he mostly did it for that?

I think 21/23, I blame BAFTA for giving original screenplay to Licorice Pizza over Belfast, I figured if Belfast lost there it would lose here. I dont think anybody got animated short.

Have you seen ratings in the past few years? Its all staged in a desperate attempt for attention. You know, like the whole Kanye/Swift thing.
Clearly wasn't staged. Will Smith was having a breakdown last night.

Yeah, watch the uncensored footage. It was pretty real looking.

Besides, I doubt this kind of thing has much of an effect on ratings as its not like people know its going to happen in advance. With that said I almost wish it did because its much better than excising major awards for annoying skits.

Famous people are weird.

Man what a boring set of winners (in terms of predictions). I figured at least one of the shorts categories would have an upset as those are never as straightforward as they seem, but I never would've guessed Robin Robin would be the one to lose. Aside from that I didn't expect Dune to completely sweep the tech awards so I had it losing a few, and I thought Licorice Pizza would take original screenplay. Think I got 18/23.

This awards season started off with such promise but it wound up being so uninteresting.

I think this was a solid set of winners and nominees. Overall the Oscar redemption arc of the previous two awards continues with this one. Yeah it was largely predictable but thats not always a bad thing. It just means that there was a general agreement.

Thats in terms of the awards themselves though, the show seemed terrible from what clips Ive watched. They should cut the skits, show all the awards, and focus on making a great show movie goers will enjoy rather than chasing an uninterested general audience.

Anyway, CODA was not my pick (Dune is still my number one and I would have preferred Power of the Dog) but it is an immensely likeable film I would recommend to everybody. Its easy to see how it won with the ranked system they used for this one, as its the film everybody likes. I have a hard time thinking of any wins that felt undeserved even if they werent my pick, like as much as Andrew Garfield was the winner in my heart its tough to say that Will Smith wasnt a good winner. Just a shame he spoiled his own hype to say the least.

CODA winning screenplay was undeserved imo, even if you remove the competition I think it is a poorly written film. I acknowledge that I'm in the minority there, I didn't get from it what many clearly did!
