Awesome, I was just thinking yesterday that we're getting to a point where we can do live board parties. I've never been an OscarsĀ® watcher, but I like hearing what some of the winners might say in their speeches, and chiming in on whether I think the Academy got it "right."

I'm going to watch "Moonlight" tonight, and that may change what I'm rooting for in some categories, but as of now I'd vote:

"Manchester by the Sea" for Best Picture, and Writing (Original Screenplay)
Isabelle Huppert for Actress in a Leading Role,
Casey Affleck for Actor in a Leading Role,
"Kubo and the Two Strings" for Animated Feature Film and Visual Effects
"Toni Erdmann" for Foreign Language Film

So I'll be popping by, my friend!

Yep, I'm with ya, there, 9. Connecting with people over movies is a nice thing. :) I'll be dropping in and out, mostly towards the end as the big categories are announced!

I'll be posting on the board during the Oscars.

Thank you for the information, 9! Although I'm not a big Oscars person either, it sure feels good to be back on the boards, doesn't it?

Thanks for the tip about + - !

I was used to watch them live each year for 20 years but stopped a few years ago. Back then there was still some magical moments with legendary actors. It's in the middle of the night here, so ain't easy.

I try to watch when I have some favorites' actors showing. I may drop by tonight.

Anyone know what kind of time the big awards are normally presented? I'm in the UK and can't stay up all night as I am working tomorrow but am wondering whether to try to waken for the big awards live....

It may take the most Oscars tonight. IDK I see a bias trend that always stems from the Golden Globes.
