Nice upset - Olivia Colman won - I was happy the film won something even though I was hoping for best picture as well.

Green Book is probably the safest picture in terms of being palatable to the general US audience. It was the "come together and live in peace" kind of story - and that ain't such a terrible message. Fantasy as it may be in this divided world.

really.

Melissa McCarthy was fantastic, and I'd watch The Favourite again JUST for Colman,
though it is a wonderful film. Actually, we bought it, so I can.

Upset? Dunno, Close just keeps getting nominated but she is only a fair actress at best, so
that she hasn't won just means there is some small justice.

Haven't yet seen Green Book.

And I've been bored by Queen for at least 40 years, though Malek did a commendable job.

I thought he was British!

The show was a bore, as usual.

  I'm in HK so it was on at 9am here and at work. And the stupid Oscar site would not show videos in this region. So I have to watch youtube for tidbits. Liked the ridiculous rabbit dress.
  
  I liked Green Book. It was my third place pick. But good enough for a Best Picture in a relatively weak year.

    Agree regarding the "Green Book". It's not a big cinematography and the subject is worn and full of racial cliches but it really shows the progress which took place in this country. And it should be celebrated not scorned on every occasion .
    I'm waiting for Spike Lee to make a movie about black racism ,inability to escape the Ghetto attitudes and exploitation of a "slave" complex which keep those communities vulnerable. I'd like to see their phony leaders exposed. That movie can't be made by a "privileged white male director". I don't expect to see anything along these lines during my lifetime.
