Just wondered what everyone's thoughts are about Sunday's Academy Awards broadcast. Are you excited about nominated films, stars, etc.? Are you looking forward to the hosts or would you rather someone else had been chosen? Do you make a celebration out of the broadcast, as several of our local theaters do, or is it just another night on the calendar for your family?
I probably won't watch this year. I have seen West Side Story. I'd still like to see King Richard and Belfast, so I'll be curious to see how those three do.
I'm NOT excited about the hosts. I don't find Wand@ Syk@s to be funny at all, and I was even less excited once she told Jimmy Kimmel that "Sober W@nda" would not be attending the event. Humor is always subjective, and I just don't get hers, I guess.
I've never been to an Oscar party, but DH and I have talked about going some time now that we have an empty nest.
It's always fun to see the fashion choices the celebrities make, so I'm actually looking forward to seeing those.
How about you?

Yes, I've seen all of the movies and am looking forward to it!
Would be thrilled if Coda or Dune win.

Yes. I like the hosts this year (I love Wanda!), and always like to check out the fashion. I've only seen a handful of the movies, but will try to cram a few more in between now and then.

No, but I never do.
I'll watch The Walking Dead or Guy's TOC
Eta- I also do not like Wanda S. Her voice grates on my nerves

I’ll probably watch, but I’m not too invested in it. Honestly, I get a little jealous of rich, famous people lauding other rich, famous people.

I used to enjoy watching it but not anymore. I'll just Google the winners.

No, not watching this year. Truly cannot listen to Wanda as her voice is like nails on a chalk board (to me).
I also do not get her "humour".
I don't know too much of Regina Hall and Amy can get a bit out-of-hand at times.

No. I have not been into those shows for years now. Actually I rarely watch regular network TV.

Because I didn't want this thread to pop up in a Google search for her name. Which probably indicates that I shouldn't have said what I said. It's just my personal preference in comedians, but if I can't say anything nice, I probably shouldn't say anything at all. Sorry if I was offensive.  |

No, I really haven't ever watched awards shows. They are just too drawn out and boring to me.

I have issues with typos so I didn't know if it was that or if was how she spelled it or.... |

No, but I never do. I don’t know most of the actors or actresses now and haven’t watched any of the shows.

Yes. I always watch - The Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globes. I’ll watch the red carpet too. I’m not really fond of the hosts, but I’ll try not to let them bug me too much.

We always watched back in the day but we no longer do. Although we go to the movies, as a group I find a lot of actors to think their opinions should matter to the rest of us.

No it’s just not on my radar/interest.
Edited to add: but not an issue with Wanda Sykes, I find her generally funny. But I’m not an awards show watcher regardless of host.

I will probably watch. I've watched for years but the past 5 years or so I haven't been too invested. I too like to see the outfits so that might reel me in.

I probably won't. I don't usually watch awards shows. I'll check the news in the morning to see the winners and the dresses.
I think Wanda is really funny, so she wouldn't turn me off from it.

I plan on watching the red carpet to see the looks but probably won't watch the actual broadcast as I haven't seen any of the movies.
I used to be a big movie watcher and have Oscar parties but that was before streaming got so good and now I almost exclusively watch shows.
I'm more excited that it's National Paella Day so I'm making that for my family!

I'll probably watch some of it. By Sunday, I will have seen all the movies with major nominations and want to see how my picks do.

If nothing else was on, I might, but I'm addicted to Tournament of Champions so that will be on instead.
