The Big 2020 Oscar Winners were -
  • Parasite - 4
  • 1917 - 3
  • Ford vs Ferrari - 2
  • Joker - 2
  • Once Upon A Time in Hollywood - 2
Yes—it didn’t even win for special effects which was the cri de cour about its excellence
I thought it was boring and overdone
And frankly not worth the talents of the people involved...

Make more overblown bad movies like “Cats” and the new “Birds of Prey”...

LOL - I don't think cats was in the running for any award at the Oscars, although it may get one at the Golden Raspberry Awards (Razzies).

When I heard that Jane Fonda presented the best picture award to a movie titled "Parasite", I thought that was totally appropriate.

Kudos to the academy.

the south korean movie parasite may be a great movie, but I wish the academy had awarded the American Oscars to an American director and an American best picture.

I didn't watch the show last night but I did see clips here and there. It's amazing that Brad Pitt gets handsome with time. I can't believe he's 56. He is gorgeous.

Are you serious or just trolling? The word is Oscars and isn't always American centric. Parasite was a great film and deserved the recognition.

Luckily the Academy isn't so xenophobic.

I saw "Irishman" & it really didn't deserve to win. I am debating on on to see Parasite.
