        1. ok time for my #Oscars2021 livetweet thread… I dunno much about what came out this year, so this’ll be interesting! (Did they really just say Steven Soderbergh was qualified to direct the event’s COVID safety measures due to having directed Contagion? SMH…)

        So Chloe Zhao directed Nomadland, apparently? Guess I’ll have to check it out; hadn’t heard of either her or the movie before…

      So wait if they’re doing this song during the pre-show, does this mean they’ll be skipping the songs part of the actual broadcast? Because that could cut down on a lot of the runtime, if so… #Oscars2021

    “Cruella” preview is kinda hard to take seriously… I’m so tired of Disney feeling like it has to do “live-action” takes on all its cartoons…

      The layout feels so different this year

        that’s an interesting dress… interesting mix of sparkles and frills

          so I guess the reason they have a DJ instead of an orchestra this year is to reduce the number of people breathing on each other? Or is there still an orchestra that I just didn’t see? #Oscars2021

            wait if this award recipient is on a screen… where is he *actually*? I thought they all said Los Angeles, but the daylight looks different between the two? I’m so confused… #Oscars2021

              Dang it there was something I was going to say during the ad break but I forgot

                so, with the previous award, I thought the location in the captions was where they were, but for this one, it seems it’s just where the movie was originally from? Like, the guy from Denmark showed up in person…

                  So yeah I should probably see Judas & The Black Messiah, what with 2 noms and the win in that category…

                    aaaaagh Daniel Kaluuya’s real accent is so different from how he usually speaks in the roles I’ve seen him in; this is so weird for me to process

                      So… the “David Rubin” this guy thanked is a different David Rubin than the political troll one that goes by “Dave”, right?

                        Uh… where are the subtitles for Bong Joon Ho here? Oh ok I see he has a translator, nvm…

                          Isn’t it a bit early in the show to be giving the “Best Director” award? I thought this was usually one of the last ones…

                            why is he holding the envelope up to the camera? I can’t read the text like that…

                              Good grief Riz Ahmed has a British accent IRL too?! How are Brits so good at American accents when they do movies?

                                I guess the whole “show the slip to the camera” thing must be to prevent another rerun of that whole La La Land / Moonlight mixup from a few years back…

                                  Oh we’re saying Miyazaki’s name in the Japanese order now? When did that change?

                                    also I miss being able to catch the shorts at @RedRiverMovies while COVID has them closed; maybe next year…

                                          wait why is this guy thanking a bunch of gaming people? Are gaming companies getting into the short documentary business now?

                                            ooh kind of an upset for the octopus movie to win best documentary; I thought Crip Camp would win… my mom would probably be happy for it, though; she likes watching octopus videos…

                                              um… what exactly did he mean about octopus-human friendship making you wonder “what else is possible”? Did he seriously just… nvm.

                                                Aw man they’re not giving us clips for the visual effects one? Disappointing
