As expected this year’s COVID Oscars were just as chaotic as the Golden Globes, but somehow slightly worse. From Glenn Close twerking to that shit-show of an ending, the Oscars was certainly ~something~.
It wasn’t all bad though and there were some truly iconic moments, like Daniel Kaluuya thanking his mum and dad for having sex in his acceptance speech. Kaluuya won an Oscar for Best Supportive Actor for his work in Judas And The Black Messiah.
“It’s incredible. My mum met my dad, they had sex,” Kaluuya said.
“It’s amazing, you know what I’m saying? Then I’m here! I’m so happy to be alive.”
Daniel Kaluuya before the speech: “This will be the most important speech of my life”

Incredible that we get to see the real-time reaction from Daniel Kaluuya’s mother as he talks about his parents having sex pic.twitter.com/juxCZeJcQC

ALSO can we just acknowledge Daniel Kaluuya played Kenneth in Skins???? Not even Nicholas Hoult has won an Oscar. We love to see it.
Daniel Kaluuya is the first cast member of SKINS to win an Academy Award.

And the award for the second best Oscars moment before it all went down hill goes to… Youn Yuh-Jung for flirting with Brad Pitt.
Yuh-Jung won the gong for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Minari, she is also is the first Korean actor to win an Oscar.
God I love the Korean tradition of not giving a fuck about the Oscars then winning them

Other older folks that didn’t give a flying fuck at the Oscars on Monday were Harrison Ford and Frances McDormand. Both just looked extremely tired and over it, and honestly I’d feel the same if I had to attend a weird, empty Oscars at Los Angeles Train Station.
You just know Harrison and Frances McDormand meet out back in the alley at these things and share a fat joint and are like “ugh, these fucking things and these fucking people” #oscars

“oscar attendees will not wear face masks during telecast”

I love how no matter where Harrison Ford is, you can tell he doesn’t want to be there

Finally, the most chaotic part of the Oscars and that was when producers set up the entire award schedule so that Chadwick Boseman could posthumously win Best Actor at the conclusion of the show. BUT to their surprise, the award for Best Actor actually went to Anthony Hopkins for his role in The Father. YET, he wasn’t even at the awards to accept it, so the whole thing ended super abruptly and awkwardly.
The Oscars were so sure that Chadwick Boseman was going to win that they REARRANGED THE ENTIRE CEREMONY so his category could be last, and then they gave the award to Anthony Hopkins instead…the most chaotic and unhinged thing I’ve ever seen.

Can’t believe how that incredibly dry Oscars LURCHED into insanity in the last half hour
1. Glenn Close doing Da Butt
2. Best Picture already??
3. Bo Burnham drinking spit
4. Frances McDormand, wolfwalker
5. A final win that no one is there for— Kyle Buchanan (@kylebuchanan) April 26, 2021
The Oscars should have ended with Regina King walking away confused

What a hot mess. But at least it wasn’t as bad as the time La La Land accidentally won Best Picture, instead of Moonlight.
