The Oscar producers' decision to move Best Actor *after* Best Picture in 2021 because they were presumably banking on an emotional Chadwick Boseman win to close out the night...only for Anthony Hopkins to win who wasn't even present to accept

I honestly think Lady Gaga should host the Oscars next year. It's clear from her interactions with Liza Minnelli (and others over the years) that she has great respect for legacy, which is what the Oscars need more of, and she obviously knows how to work a crowd. Lock her in now!

I really like a lot of the frontrunners in Best Actress this year, but it’s disappointing to see the same 5-7 names in every critics group lineup while those that need championing like Teyana Taylor in A Thousand and One and Trace Lysette in Monica are paid dust.
