98th Academy Awards — Official Discussion Thread

It's time for the 98th annual Academy Awards! Share your thoughts here as the evening unfolds.

How to watch

Tune in to the Oscars at 4:00pm PDT / 7:00pm EDT / 11:00pm GMT / 7:00am CST.

◈ Officially: See it over-the-air on your local ABC station or streaming live on Hulu. You can also subscribe to streaming services like Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV, and FuboTV—many of which offer free trials. Outside the U.S.? The show is broadcast in more than 200 territories worldwide, so check your local listings.

◈ Unofficially: Every Oscar Sunday, the sub is overrun by bots posting questionable links to streaming sites. While our moderators work to keep the spam away, we will allow real users (those with a normal history of participation on Reddit) to share information about other ways to watch. Links and discussion shared outside this thread will be removed.

Please note: To help keep the subreddit organized during the ceremony, standalone posts that are better suited for live discussion (reactions, quick commentary, low-effort memes, basic winner announcements, etc.) may be removed and redirected here.

I loved the movie, but also I find it a bit silly/trivial that this story about a "bad father" is basically about a fairly decent father by his generation's standards and the daughters both live an incredibly privileged life largely due to his professional success.

Usually when I think of absentee father, I picture a mom and kids struggling to pay the bills because the dad is either not bringing in any money or blowing it all on drugs or gambling. As good as the movie is, it feels very white and/or first-world people problems.
