OK, so the most famous - or is it infamous - instance from the 94th Academy Awards was Will Smith's altercation with Chris Rock. Just a reminder, Roman Polanski got awarded even after his peccadillo. On top of that, Harvey Weinstein hasn't had to return his Oscars!
As for the ceremony itself. Of all the nominated movies, I've only seen "Belfast", "CODA", "Don't Look Up", "Dune", "Encanto", "Flee", "Four Good Days", "Free Guy", "King Richard", "Nightmare Alley", "No Time to Die", "Power of the Dog" and "West Side Story". I thought "The French Dispatch", "In the Heights" and "A Quiet Place II" deserved nods.
It was expected that there would be mentions of Ukraine, although Ariana DeBose's, Troy Kotsur's and Jessica Chastain's comments were more appropriate I think.
OK, so not the best ceremony by any stretch, but worthy enough. I might also mention that I saw "White Men Can't Jump" just a few weeks ago. It took me all these years to see it.
