Welcome to Movie Break Club. A podcast where we review and
chat about movies. Without the spoilers.
It's the Monday after the Oscars, which means we've stayed
up far too long watching Hollywood's biggest night.
On this special Oscars reaction episode, we'll be talking about
the big winners, the surprise moments, probably doing it all
while extremely tired, all of this and more, which we can't
actually tell you about because we pre recorded this intro I'm
Lee Casey. I'm Jen Jones.
And I'm on Bashar. This is is movie Bread Club.
Morning. Morning.
How's everyone feeling? I'm feeling fresh as the Daisy
and feeling. It's terrible.
It's 5:03 AM. Hit the bed.
Shiver me Timbers. Yes, and we are definitely two
hours past when we should have started recording this.
Yes. We're two hours later than we
should be. We've had two hours.
Behind who would like to explain said mishap.
Well, I, I mean, it could, it's, it could happen to anybody just
in, in a hosting an Oscar's party with nine people, none of
whom knew when the Oscars actually started.
Well, I can explain this from my point of view.
Bear with me now, everybody, because I've had very little
sleep, a lot of stress, and we've been around the block a
few times. I was cooking some chicken wings
in the kitchen, filling in my ballot, putting in some last
minute choices. And then somebody, I can't
remember who, kind of ran into the kitchen and said it started
an hour ago. And I'm like, what?
What? While you were in the kitchen, I
went on my phone and I went on Instagram and I saw the first
winner. I saw the first winner
collecting her award and I was like, Oh my God, it's happened.
So there's nine people sitting in a room with a big screen
waiting. Patiently watching the red
carpet, Patiently waiting. Patiently waiting Oscars to
begin. Little did they know it had
started about an hour and a half earlier.
It's so ridiculous. Now.
Oh. What's that thing we're meant to
be doing? Oh yeah.
Watching the Oscars. Watching the Oscars.
So the whole objective of the evening fail.
But can we just one other thing to add.
We were all very distracted because our friend of the pod
and Movie Break Club member Laura graced us with a Marty
Supreme themed grazing platter, which is insane.
It took my breath away and I was very distracted by it.
I think everybody was. So I'm going to blame, I'm going
to blame the platter. You can see that on our
Instagram at Movie Break Club. At Movie Break Club.
Laura's fault. Blame, Blame Laura.
First error, nobody actually knowing what time the show
started and as soon as we knew we're like Oh my God, we've got
to put it on now we're. Freaking out.
We're freaking out. Let's watch it from the
beginning. We press play on it and what
happens? Only the subtitles turn up and
all we can do is hear it. We're like, what's going on?
Switch off, switch back on, switch off, switch back on, try
it again. Can anyone else?
And I've got to say, my bum started sweating and everyone's
looking at me. And my bum's SO.
Everybody's looking at me saying where is our Oscars on?
Everyone was saying no. We were all saying it's fine on
don't worry, we'll work it out. No, but inside you were all
saying where the fuck's our? Oscars, I think inside you were
saying that. You were saying yourself.
No, I'm I could feel it. You can't.
You're very, very polite. But in this room I could feel
everyone's bum sweat. So Long story short, we, we went
round the houses quite a bit, didn't we?
Trying to get this thing on, to get it working.
I'd pull things in from other rooms, they weren't working,
this wasn't working, that wasn't working.
And eventually we managed to get it on, but we couldn't skip
forward any further. We had, you know, God bless him,
Jonathan Ross, we. Were forced to watch 45 minutes
of Jonathan Ross's red carpet. Yeah, knowing that.
Knowing. That the Oscars was on.
Start and we had this little countdown.
So that was a that was a bit painful, wasn't it?
It was, it was the dramatic start to the Oscars that we
didn't know we needed or wanted. But then wasn't it good when it
started? Yeah.
And then it started. And then it.
Started fantastic. What a great start if anyone was
using the NBC Bingo. One of the things that NBC bingo
was Conan dressed as Aunt Gladys and 1st moment of the Oscars
there he was dressed as Aunt Gladys.
What did you think of that opening?
It harked back to Billy Crystal. Right.
Like being in parts of films and running through sets.
And that it was. It was a lot of fun.
However, all of our listeners know that we are reversed to
spoilers and there was quite a lot of spoilers.
With SO, I haven't seen Weapons, but now that I've seen the
beginning of the Oscars, I've got a pretty strong idea about
what happens to this our Gladys character, whoever she is.
If you do not want spoilers. On weapons.
Yeah, and a few others too. Fair.
Oh yeah. Skip past the first opening bit.
Yeah, there's just no need, is there?
I just, I, I know that this pod is this podcast is vehemently
opposed to spoilers, but it just does seem so unnecessary for
something like the Oscars, which is such a huge event in film
calendar, to just sprinkle all these spoilers for these big
movies that actually not everyone's seen everything, no.
One's spoiling these movies right in front of the film
makers. Who?
Made them. I know it's really, I think it's
really offensive actually. Yeah, and I've got say, some of
those skits, Conan and Brian is probably guilty the most for
these, which is he created a couple of sketches which really
riff off major plot lines. They are funny and you know,
really. And I was entertained by them
and luckily, having seen the movies that they were, they were
riffing off. But I was, I was slightly
disappointed, I have to say the the the amount they went into.
Yeah. And if you haven't seen one
battle after another, I would as soon as you if you watching it
back and you see Best Picture being announced, yeah, just just
stop it there. Absolutely.
Yeah, do not watch that. Do not watch the sketch that
comes directly after the Oscars. There's a short sketch right at
the end. Conan sort of signs off, doesn't
he says that's all we've got time for.
You know, that's the end of the show, and you think that's the
end of the show, but it's not. There's another sketch, but do
not watch that sketch if you've not seen one battle after
another. Absolutely.
That is key information, so. That's our spoiler notes.
Yeah, housekeeping, housekeeping.
Housekeeping on spoilers out of the way, yeah.
Good to get that. Out of the way, but it quickly
turned around past the opening monologue to the first award,
which obviously Jen, you already knew having.
I did, having already seen it. Spoiled it for.
Yourself for myself of. Course you did I.
Saw Amy Madigan. Yeah, I'd seen it already.
I think this was probably the award I wanted most for, you
know, someone to win. Yeah, that I didn't think was
gonna win just because weapons wasn't in a lot.
It wasn't talked about a lot other than a few sketches.
Yeah. And her winning I thought was
great in her speech where? Oh yeah, she just felt she was.
Yeah, I don't think she felt she was gonna win.
She. Described herself as being
flummoxed, which is a brilliant word.
Yeah, but she described herself as being flummoxed.
She talked about thinking about speech in the shower while she
was shaving her legs and she was like, and look, I'm wearing
pants. I didn't even need to shave my
legs. She was just so her brain was
obviously just off on one and she was so you must have known
she was in the running there, but yet she was still, she was
still very surprised wasn't. She I love.
It I love it when you have like a a big celebrity who's just so
down to her and so real. It's absolutely.
It felt like she was a bit mother hen too.
She was OK. She's a bit nervous, but she was
just like, like, to all the actors.
Oh, yeah, you know, just really real.
And like, didn't really care who all these people were.
It. Was just being herself and I
yeah, I think she was great and and truly deserved.
Weapons was one of my favorite films.
Last year, really good moment. Yeah, I was going to say, going
back to Conan's skits, his skits, they were, I wouldn't say
they all landed great, but some of them, some of them were quite
good. I liked that he tried to make a
brand new DiCaprio meme that was good.
He sort of just put the camera on DiCaprio and was like.
I think he achieved it. Yeah, I think he did as well.
It said something like when that thing you're not expecting it to
happen happened or something, didn't it?
Yeah, it was really good. That was funny.
The standout sketch from it was the Casablanca.
Yes. Where they talk about, which we
talked about on the point before where studios tried to repeat
the same information because of that second screen.
Yeah. They made a lot of reference
they. Made a lot of.
Reference they basically the whole show had this theme of
like almost like the decline of cinema yeah and how the Gen.
ZS or Gen. alphas are starting to lose attention but that whole
thing about things being watching things on your phones
and vertical. Yeah, they were talking about
watching on phones. On Instagram there's a channel
called Vertical World Cinema and actually they've used AI and
editing to create these vertical and they're beautiful, but
they're. Absolutely.
Stunning The Shining has been done in it.
Oh my God, Pulp. Fiction I think is 1 and
actually it's. Like just for everyone.
Like my brain can be more disappointed on.
Looks like it's. Really good.
It's really good. It's really, it's what it what
it is. It's not the whole film so calm,
but it's kind of like these shots and it's kind of a bit of
a cinematic photography project, and it clips these and expands
these scenes together, and it's quite stunning to watch.
I think there's a Star Wars one as well, and it's, yeah, it's
quite fascinating. That scene in Dumb and Dumber
when Jim Carrey realises that Jeff Daniels is dating his
girlfriend and then he stands there going like and and like
gagging. That's me right now.
Well, I'll send you some. Oh, please don't.
I'm gonna and actually I'll put the put the link in the
description of this. Oh no.
Sigh. Sigh.
Listen mobile phones. Yeah, I know.
Well, keep them horizontal at least, man.
Yeah, come on. Fair.
Yeah, not vertical. Have some respect.
I like the way they do champion cinema though.
There's like with the montages and the way they they make you
feel really proud to be a film fan and they're championing it
again. It's part of their remit to
reinforce cinema. Yeah, and I think the 10
nominated pictures throughout the show, they kind of have
these kind of little features, don't they, on each of the best
picture nominees? And they do make them look so
beautiful. And then often they kind of, I
mean, I've seen in our local cinema, our local cinema
tomorrow showing Sinners and it's showing Secret Agent this
week. So they kind of these best
pictures kind of pop back up in the cinema and you're kind of
like, oh, you know, actually that looked really good.
I'll definitely go out and. See that?
And in the room with us, there were some people who hadn't seen
all the movies. And they I can tell already, my
wife being one of them, is probably going to be like, yeah,
I need to kind of watch that movie.
Yeah, yeah. It's great.
What else are we talking about? Let's talk about some Oscars,
yeah? Let's talk about some Oscars, I
think overall or should we talk about overalls and then we can
go to individual ones. Overalls on the night, there was
the. Nobody was wearing overalls, no.
No one was wearing overalls, but overall the big winner of the
night was 1 battle after another, which took him six.
Yeah. 6 prizes. Well, just that obviously a bit
of. Sweep.
I was expecting to see a sweep from sinners, actually.
Well, still got. Four, it's pretty good, but I
think your battle after another did.
I think it did better than expected.
I mean, it's a great film, so it deserves to do well.
It's always that thing when you watch all the clips that they
put on you think. Oh.
Yeah, that film. That's it.
But a bit a big expectation which sort of did not live up to
tell me about Supreme, which didn't come away with anything.
I thought it would at least get one or one of the one of the
good ones, but unfortunately no. Anyone that has heard our
previous episodes or our review on Marty Extreme, Oh my God,
Marty Supreme. That was the porn parody.
Anyone's heard our episode and if you haven't, you can find it.
I think on episode 2, episode 2, you'll know that myself and Leah
are quite big champions of Marty Supreme.
Jen, not so much. Turns out Jen's right.
You look guys, I will just sit here and wait for you guys to
tell me that I'm right. Maybe, maybe the Academy will
give Jen the job and. Not.
You or I? Oh God, what a terrible world
that would be. We've skipped to the voting
process. We're now just getting Jen to
choose them. Yeah, no, I was surprised Mighty
got nothing. But I mean, I I do like to see
Chalamet taking down a pig or two.
You know, he's very smug. He's a very smug young man.
There's a few little things in there that try to take him down
a. Well, a few comments.
So his recent comments about ballet and opera.
What did he actually say? So he was having an interview
with Matthew McConaughey and he said, quote, I don't want to be
working in ballet or opera or things where it's like keep this
thing alive even though even though no one cares about this
anymore. That's what he said.
Oh my God. Oh my God.
What he did try and say, like all respect to.
But it's too late. Well, I, I mean, I heard that
he's from a family of ballerinas like his, his mum was a maybe a
ballerina. He's from like a a line, like a
long line of family. Yeah, I bet he's no but PR
person was freaking out of. Freaking out.
I mean, he's not, he's, to be fair, he's not a politician.
He's a human being, and he's just really saying what he
thinks about it. Yeah, You know he doesn't care.
No, but just think that somebody who works in the arts should
have respect for, yeah, all of the arts, and especially
something as incredible as opera and as physical as ballet.
I have a problem with the fact that he's kind of like, Oh, no
one cares about it when actually these are two things that fill
opera houses and they're like across the world.
Well, he got. Mad a little bit of a
comeuppance, didn't he? He did people.
People had noticed his comments at the at the Oscars and they
were not gonna let. Him.
Forget them. Well, we may as well lead into
this by let's talk about this amazing number.
Yeah, that was on there. Yeah.
We've talked about the scene from sinners.
Yes. That we love.
Yeah. And there's a there's a great
recreation of this scene. Feel free to watch this bit
because I don't think it's too much of A spoiler.
It might show you a little bit of what you get to see in the in
the movie halfway through. But what an amazing piece of
choreography, what an amazing set piece, and it was one of the
highlights of the show. I.
Think yeah, it was really, really good, wasn't it?
Really clever. And what was interesting about
it to me is that for the audience at home, it relied a
lot on the camera work. It was obviously rehearsed with
the camera. And as the cameras moving
through the the dancers and the performers on stage, it's
revealing certain things at certain times.
Yeah. Yeah.
So that sequence ends with an amazing dance from.
Misty Copeland, she's called. Misty Copeland.
She's an incredible ballerina and she sort of emerges, doesn't
she, from the crowd on stage and does this incredible dance right
in front of where Timothy Chalamet SAT.
And we in this room are part. We were screaming for Chalamet
Cam. We were like, we need to see
Chalamet. Cut to Chalamet.
Cut. To Chalamet.
We were screaming it all the way through.
They said at the beginning of the show that a billion people
are going to be watching that show.
A good a good few million must at least be showered and cut to
Shalom. Just everyone wants in an award
show a good reaction Cam. It's like that award show, the
MTV Music Awards or whatever it was when Madonna kissed Britney
Spears and she kissed Britney Spears, and the camera went
straight to Justin Timberlake in the crowd, who was looking
livid. And everyone was like, yes.
And created an iconic moment, yeah.
Exactly. That's what we wanted to see,
and I think that Shalom is clever enough that he would have
kept his face very. Rock solid.
Where it was supposed to be. And I did read it on the news
that he gave her a standing evasion afterwards that
performance. He gave that performance the
standing evasion. So he had to.
But he's doing some damage control.
Yeah. But yeah, it was, it was
mentioned, wasn't it? There were other winners of some
of the more technical and crafty awards.
I can't remember which ones now, but some of them referenced
ballet and opera. Somebody said.
It's a great art. Form like ballet and.
Opera. Yeah, Yeah.
It was the winner of the Yeah Live action short.
He was coming to the defence of those crafts.
And that was the Oscar that was actually drawn, wasn't.
Yes, yeah, yeah. Big moment.
A tie. An Oscar tie.
I've never seen anything like
that in my lifetime. I don't think it's happened in
our life. It has happened in the past.
Yeah, that the presenter almost didn't know what quite what to
do. Yeah, he had to tell everyone.
Don't freak out. This.
Is real. This is not one of those.
Moments. Joke.
This is not a moonlight moment, no.
I like that they got the winners up one at a time.
Yeah, for their moment of glory. It wasn't each other.
Yeah, although was that the one where one of them got brutally
chopped off or was that later there was a?
That was later. Oh my goodness, later.
This one almost got brutally. Chopped off.
Oh yeah. And then they were like, but
it's they managed to pull it round Yeah.
And it. Saddens me when they do.
That it's so sad, isn't it, that these people get the kind of
this is the peak of their career, the highlight of their
career, and they play that music.
I understand. I understand a lot of it's about
commercials and all the rest of it being in America, but for
instance, if sports on TV and it overruns, let's say in the World
Cup, yeah, when it goes into extra time, yeah, everything
moves. Yeah, yeah, commercials, the
news, everything moves. And so I just think give people
their time. Yeah, and shave some time off
Conan like Conan's between every award yapping away.
If someone goes goes over their time, just get rid of him and
just go straight to the next one.
No one's gonna care about money. And ratings the.
Whole thing is about awards, it's not really about the comedy
skits in between. They help.
They help the pace of the show for sure.
But, you know, with a show like tonight where not all that
comedy landed, I just felt like, give these people like work
their, you know, proverbials off for this, and you're not giving
them their time in the sun. I don't know if it was the
trauma of the beginning of the night that we experienced maybe,
but I I've got to say, overall I'm a bit, what's the phrase we
use? Whelmed, Whelmed.
I'm just whelmed by this show. I didn't think it was the best
show I've seen. There's been shows in the past
where I've been like, Oh my God, it's amazing.
It's amazing. Yeah, I think that it was one of
those, it was one of those Oscars.
It was one of those Oscars where there wasn't any huge upsets.
We there was no no shocking when there's no massive underdog one
and nothing dramatic really happened, and the jokes and the
skits were all fine, but there wasn't anything kind of amazing
there. 50% hit rate on those. I think a lot of the presenters,
I felt tried to get in on this, on the comedy, and it felt kind
of. Flow.
Oh yeah, Bill Pullman and his son was very awkward to watch.
I thought, I'm sure they're lovely, but it just, it just
wasn't really working, was it? It didn't, unfortunately.
But Bridesmaids reunion, that was one of the highlights.
That was quite fun. It was very.
Fun. So I loved seeing the
bridesmaids back together. Kristen Wiig is one of my
favourite people and I didn't know that Maya Rudolph was
married to PTA Paul. That was that was big news
tonight, that they're what? Absolutely.
Absolutely brilliant. But I thought that what the
material that the bridesmaids were given to work with was not
good enough for them because they are the funniest women.
And actually, you know, kind of reading notes, kind of fake
notes from the audience. And it was kind of funny.
But they, I think if they have been allowed, if they have been
allowed to organize themselves, they would come with something
incredible. Like if you've watched Kristen
Wiig on Saturday Night Live, she is so funny.
Like so funny. You know, I think in about
20282029 the Oscars are going away from our friends at ITV and
going to YouTube and apparently there's going to be a couple of
things that can happen here that means the show can just run a
bit longer. Maybe they they're not under so
much pressure. Another one is they're probably
can get away with a lot more in terms of comedy and edginess and
that sort of thing. And F bombs.
There was an F. Bomb.
There was an F bomb, yeah. There was an F bomb.
By the team from F1 when they won best sound, yeah.
F1F. Bomb F Bomb this.
Sound crew. Yeah, there was a couple of F
bombs in this room as well, wasn't there?
Oh. My God, hey, wait, can we just
let's just pause the conversation and say there was
an F bomb directed at me because wait a minute, We were filling
in our ballots as we always do, and about halfway through the.
So on realised that I was doing quite well and in fact I was
doing better than him and he muttered well no he didn't
mutter, he yelled at me. The now immortal lion you fuck.
It was. It's met with love.
It was, I think it was, it was a crime of passion.
I understand, I understand. I was just.
I have no word. Yeah, sorry, what can I say?
It was late. It was.
Late. It was brilliant.
I loved it, I loved it. Still meant it.
But talking of Paul Thomas Anderson, he took home three
Oscars, yes, which is great to see, I think, obviously.
And he'd had so many nominations, hadn't he before?
Yeah. I love it when that happens.
Yeah, Best director, best picture, best adaptive
screenplay. Was it?
Yes, Best adaptive screenplay. So written directing best
picture. And they got best casting and
1st Oscar that went to best casting, went to 1 battle after
another. That was quite early on.
Yeah. And the casting director who
received that Ward was like, I can't believe I've got an Oscar
before you PT in her speech. And I was like, oh, man.
Yeah. And they obviously know each
other really well. It's so sweet to see them.
They can make jokes that in each other like that.
Yeah. But.
But little did she know. Yeah.
She was gonna get. Three more on the way.
Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
The other obviously big winner of the night was Sinners and I,
I really wanted this to win as much as possible.
I love Sinners. So really pleased to see Michael
B Jordan win. Yeah.
Best actor. Oh.
And he was so speechless, amazing, so humbled his.
Speech was great, he. Brought his mum.
He brought his mum. His mum was delighted, He was
delighted. He as soon as he got on stage,
he was like, Mum, look at me. He was like a little boy.
And I mean this in the nicest way, but you know how you always
want to impress your parents? Don't you want to make your
parents proud? And Michael B Jordan got up on
the stage and the first thing he said was like, Mum, look, I'm
here. Like I did it.
It was so sweet. His speech was so he seemed
really overwhelmed to have won, didn't he?
Michael B Jordan, he seemed really overwhelmed.
But he was so humble, and he was just, he was very much talking
about how he wouldn't have got where he was if it wasn't for
all of these great black actors that came before him, paved the
way. And I loved it.
I love to see someone who's genuinely overwhelmed.
Yeah. To to win an award.
It's lovely, isn't it? Sin has also picked up best
Original score as well as Best Original Screenplay.
Oh yeah. Which is great for Ryan Coogler,
who's obviously like this idea of original storytelling.
We talked about last time around, studios regurgitating
certain things, remakes and sequels, and this is what we
want. We want some more original.
Storyteller and I think it's been a great night for original
storytellers. Yeah, it has.
It has. Can I just add Ryan Coogler for
the ceremony had a guitar and a treble Clef braided into his
hair. Yeah, I did notice that.
His hair was looking brilliant but I didn't realise there was a
guitar in there. I didn't see a guitar.
Absolutely amazing. Probably the the most iconic win
for Sinners was for cinematography.
The first female cinematography winner?
Yeah. Isn't that crazy?
There's never been one before 2026.
Yeah, autumn derailed ACAPOR. And it will pave, pave the way
for more female cinematographers to get jobs, to get high profile
work and and show us what you're made of.
Yeah, it's the 98th Academy Awards, and she was the first
woman to win. Cinematography.
Award, which is crazy. It's quite cool.
It's a good moment there where she made all women and stand up
and it was quite a little bit of adrenaline running through you,
goosebumps and they've got you, gets you in the fields.
And it was, yeah, real sort of crescendo moment.
Another great lady of the night, Jessie Buckley.
Yeah, yes, for the Jess. Yes, yes for the Jess.
Say yes to the Jess. Yes to the Jess.
She was amazing. And do you know what was really
funny? Even though she'd kind of swept
every award up until now during the season, when they announced
her name, she kind of collapsed. And she collapsed and was like
had a head in the hands. She was, there was no sort of
kind of like, oh, I kind of expected this to happen.
She was genuinely really surprised.
Yeah, and her face when she was walking off with that Oscar as
well. Yeah.
She was delighted. Wasn't she?
She was absolutely delighted. Yeah, really well deserved, I
don't think. Probably the least surprising
award. Of the night, definitely.
Yeah. My dad, friend of the pod,
friend of the pod, Bob, I mean, he's got a website you should
check out All Man's Movies, where he reviews films.
He went to the London BFI Film Festival last October where he
saw a little film called Hamnet. And he was staying at my house
and he came home from the festival that day and he was
like, I've just seen this film called Hamnet.
I need to find a bookie that will take a bet on Jessie
Buckley for best actress Oscar because she's going to win the
Oscar. And he couldn't find a bookie
that would take a bet that early on.
So he put his bet on, you know, the other day.
And I believe he got a 10P return from his vet today.
Well done, Bob. Well done, Bob.
The other big? Winner of the night was
Frankenstein. Yeah, it was it.
Picks up three Oscars for. Costume design, best makeup and
hair styling, and best production design.
Yes, and it. Does look shit hot, doesn't it?
It does look shit hot, yeah. Yeah.
I mean, it's it is. Visually incredible.
And the way the costume design's been put together.
Guillermo del Toro esque in terms of, oh, yeah, you can you
can tell it's his film without knowing you're all seeing the
credit. Yeah.
Do you know what I haven't seen? Frankenstein and I wasn't
interested in watching Frankenstein.
And I once tried to read the book of Frankenstein and I got a
few chapters that was like, Nope, yeah, for me, slam out of
the window, didn't read it. And actually watching the
footage still on the Oscars, it made me really think, oh, I
actually checked it out because it looks visually it's amazing.
Isn't it? One amazing and I realise I
fancy Jacob Laudy as well. Is there any room on that?
Boat. Seats are sorry, we're all.
Full here well. There's another boat.
With for Michael B Jordan too, right?
It's. Parallel in the ocean I've.
Got. Guys, I've got a whole fleet.
But wait, will I even? Fancy see him in Frankenstein
because isn't he Frankenstein's monster?
He is indeed. Am I?
Is he going to look beautiful or is he going to look like he
doesn't look beautiful? No, but he's not meant to so
well, I'll probably still watch. It he's great in it, the low.
Point of the Oscars for me. Adrian Brody Oh, the chewing gum
came. Out and actually.
Adrian Brody Conan made a good gag about the fact that his
speech last year was so long and he made a really good gag
himself when he came out with, you know, sheets of paper in his
pocket, all these sheets of paper, but leaving on that side.
He had gum in his mouth. He took his gum out of his
mouth. He kind of just just as if he
was going to throw it into the crowd and then was like, oh, no,
I'm not going to. Don't worry.
I'll just, he said all this. I'll just swallow it, put it
back in his mouth and eat it and then made a song and dance about
swallowing it. I was like, what do you do,
Adrian Brody, what do you do? You.
Know what that would be? That would be like a really
funny, awkward sketching, like a film like Napoleon Dynamite
where some kiddos, Oh no, I can't spit it out.
I'll just swallow. I'll just swallow it.
And then she chokes on. It but it was Adrian Brody, Best
Actor winner from last year at the Academy Awards.
It was so weird he was only announcing.
An Oscar, he could have just kept it at the back of his teeth
or something and just just don't have chewing gum in your.
Well, if you if. He's accidentally gone on and
forgotten to take the chewing gum out or just keep chewing it.
No one cares. Why was he?
Keeping his breath fresh. For that anyway, you know.
The microphone has. Sniff sensors now, Yeah, that
was crazy a little. Disappointing for me.
Was that Train Dreams didn't didn't quite get in there.
And I thought it might, it might, it might sneak in.
But I think the other nominees within the categories it was in
were just too strong. Do you know what I feel like?
This year for the Oscars, the categories were so strong that
films like Train Dreams, films like Begonia, films like Marty
Supreme, I guess begrudgingly I will say, but films, films that
were very, very good. Well, you don't like that film,
Jen? I am.
Not a fan but films that are very very good on so many levels
didn't get a look in this year and it's just because the the
top dogs were so good weren't they?
Like any of the year Begonia could have got best picture.
It's a great film. So this leads us on to.
The coveted and Jen's laughing already.
She knows what's coming. Coveted best.
Picture now. Just to set the scene.
Because we started two hours late, a lot of our colleagues, a
lot of our Oscar watching friends appears, appears, have.
Gone home. Several looking quite tired and
distressed. Don't laugh, Jen.
I think they'll be listening to this.
I didn't, they were looking. Distressed.
They were looking a little bit. Tired and kind of like I can't
do anymore as they. Sorry.
Yeah. So just for them, we'll tell you
what happened just before Best Picture hit.
Yeah, Ewan McGregor. And Nicole Kidman, who came out
and started singing Moulin Rouge and Elsie died inside,
especially after Jessie. Buckley's really touching speed.
Yeah, yeah. And then those who come out and
I was like, oh, great, it's them.
And then don't sing. It's OK.
You don't have to sing, Lee. You don't.
Like singing. I think it's it's just I find
it. A bit much, a bit cringe.
It was a bit. Cringe, wasn't it?
Yeah. And then?
Of course they're announcing Best Picture.
We're on the edgy bar seats and I think there's only a couple of
points in it. Yeah, there could be a winner.
Out of. When you get to the best picture
when you're. Watching the Oscars, it very
much feels like you're running a marathon and you've just turned
a corner. You can see the finish line.
You're like, Oh my goodness, it's the last one.
We've made it. We've made it through the whole
show. We've watched the whole thing
and this is the big prize now, so they start.
Reading the nominations, they start coming up one at a time, 1
battle after another, Sinners F1, da da da and then.
My wife. Spots in the corner, bearing in
mind we've managed to get our player working now, but we've
had to watch it from the very beginning.
We've had to say watch from the start, then don't touch the
remote. On put the remote on a.
High shelf so no one would touch it, so no, no one could possibly
go anywhere near. It don't go near it.
Don't touch it. Don't breathe near it.
So. My wife's spot in the top
corner. This little counter saying
reverting to live TV in 151413. The panic.
Re ensued and then the panic is like.
Where's the remote? What did I do?
I think I may have panicked. You freaked out.
Like, you know what? I don't know what you.
Were doing because as soon as we realized what was going to
happen, me and your wife were crying fat tears of laughter and
all we could do was hold on to each other.
Well, I ran around looking for the.
Remote. And it was like, no, there's
nothing we could do. It was like that certain.
Scene in Toy Story all holding hands, Yes.
The saddest scene in two. 33 They sort of accept somethings
gonna happen yeah and that's how I felt I was like OK and then
the feed cut and they just cut and.
It just cut. The screen went black half an
hour later. We found managed to get back.
Yeah, because then we had to find a way of finding another
feed, fast forwarding it through.
So I'm afraid this coverage is coming slightly late at 2 hours
2 hours late 2. Hours later than.
Planned. It's currently 5:50 in the
morning. I'm tired.
I'm pretty tired as well. Well, yeah, time.
But wait, were we pleased with who won this picture?
I'm actually pleased I did. Put Marty Supreme down?
No, he became apparent about how much.
Love there was for that film, yeah.
And then with the wins they got is like, OK, actually this is
like a dead Sir and it did that thing.
Where every clip came on and I even said towards the end and
said oh, it's going to be 1 battle.
Yeah, yeah. So that gave.
Us a final score, didn't it? Oh yes, it did.
It did. It gave us a final.
Score on our ballot, right? Let's have a look.
So out of the three. Of us, should I go first?
I got a score of 16 guesses correct.
Wow, that's pretty good. Last.
Year I got like 7. That's 16 out of 20.
Four please, 16 out. Of 24, I can't.
Remember what I got? Last year, but it was enough to
win the coveted NBC Oscars trophy.
Yes, and this year I have got 16 as well.
Oh my gosh, it's a tie. Well.
It's like the it's like the tie for the Oscars.
I was going to say, you need that guy here to.
Be freaking out and be like, this isn't a joke, guys, but
actually your tie doesn't matter because guys, I got 18.
Oh. Done, Jen.
So on. I have to hand over the NBC
trophy there will. Be a very tired.
Picture of that trophy being handed over on our It's been on.
My shelf for the last year, it's it's coming to my house.
Now. Oh no. 1st order of.
Business. I'm going to take it to tip to
Timpson's in the morning. I'm going to get a little metal
shield engraved on the back saying Jen, Jen, 26.
