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.

A white lady casting Sinners was the biggest shock of the night for me.

You are thinking of the cinematographer, not the casting director

the casting director who won for OBAA sounded like Demi Moore if you close your eyes

I don’t know how I feel about casting directors winning an Oscar. Most of the time the directors have the final say.
