I'll be watching this with the great #hatm crew (while also following the NCAA women's selection night at 8pm). On top of that, not much sleep the past two nights. Come for the snark, stay for the loopiness.

One thing that I'll say for the Oscars is that it does a great job highlighting to me films I should see. I rarely go to the theater these days, so don't always keep up with the latest. But then I see clips and accolades, and seek 'em out. Only regret one or two (Parasite comes to mind). #hatm
Haha, Conan just made fun of me too (it's his first time in a theater!) #hatm
Truth is, when I was a kid, the theater was all we had (along with the annual TV movies, like Sound of Music). We'd go to a movie we liked 3-4 times, in the theater. And then when they got re-released a few years later, we'd see 'em again. #hatm
Was it just me, or did Conan fall a little flat tonight? Something seemed off. #hatm
I'm such a sucker. That Disney Cruise Line ad had me tearing up a little. But partly because Up is one of my favorite movies ever, and that score.... 🥲 #hatm
I'm digging this set design... was it supposed to hearken back to Hollywood's Golden Era of Chinoiserie design? Or just a simply homage to the Grauman Theater? #hatm
Again, I feel like an idiot saying this, but I'm enjoying these ads! It's like the Superbowl. There was a credit card one earlier that was clever, but also that Burger King ad was weird and incredible - especially firing their mascot. Obviously still marketing, but felt honest & clever. #hatm

I'm a little behind, but the bit by Kuman Nanjiani on turning full films into shorts was pretty good! 😅 ~ It's a Wonderful Month ~ West Side Anecdote ~ Some of that Jazz ~ One Battle #hatm
Ooh, I did not about the Devil Wears Prada 2. I watched the first one with our girls when they were teenagers and that was fun and also felt empowering for them. So, a well deserved sequel - not everything is wrong with the world! #hatm
This Billy Crystal recounting of Rob Reiner's body of work. What an incredible *variety* of films Reiner directed. #hatm
I like that they did special things for Reiner, O'Hara and Redford, along the usual slide show of other notables we lost in 2025. Well deserved, and touching. #hatm
OK, guys, I'm fading quick, so think I'm gonna turn in. I'll check the #hatm tomorrow to see who wins Best Picture and get all y'all's hot takes. Have a great week, everyone! 😴
One last comment. The Oscars has been way less political than I expected, given all that's going on. Plenty of vague, general comments, but only a few specifics mentioned, and unless I missed it, no names named. #hatm
