No one is a 100 percent winner until the envelope is opened…..ask Lauren Baccall or Glenn Close (2 years ago).

I wonder if there was any rehearsal today for tomorrow night’s ceremony.

I think Rita Moreno will be presenting best picture.

Would have been nice if Glenn Close had been asked to present.

Do we know of any nominees in the acting categories who will not be showing up in Los Angeles? My guess is:
Lead Actor: No Hopkins, possibly no Oldman (Chadwick Boseman’s wife will likely attend)
Lead Actress: possibly no Kirby
Supporting Actress: No Colman, No Youn Yuh-Jung
Supporting Actor: ?

I don’t think any of the wins were terrible…..just that my vote would have gone for someone different. For example, I would have chosen Diane Ladd (in “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”) over Ingrid Bergman. I would have voted for Maureen Stapleton (in “Airport”) over Helen Hayes. It’s just how the voting goes, but all of the winners are deserving.

Surprising that less than 2 weeks away and still no information about presenters or performers…..I would think the producers would want to create interest and build momentum.

I voted for “The Sound of Music” though my favorite film was the not-nominated “Rosemary’s Baby”.

I do wonder about the attendance of some of the nominees such as Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman.

I would have liked to see a performance then a presentation of a Grammy like how it used to be. It’s the Grammy Awards yet they only hand out 10 of them on air.

Only 2 actors have won Oscars posthumously…Peter Finch for Network & Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight. Most deceased nominees have not won. I don’t think the Oscar voters care either way. They vote for the performance. I think Finch & Ledger would have won had they been alive.
