    What’s up doc.

    There were some great documentaries nominated this year, and the winners were The Last Repair Shop (short film) and 20 Days in Mariupol (feature film). If you need to catch up, they’re pretty accessible to stream from home.

    Editors are important.

    And I’m not just saying that because I am one. Oppenheimer’s Jennifer Lame took home the best editing award this year, beating out Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Poor Things.

    “I needed this job more than it needed me.”

    As with the best supporting actress award, a quintet of past winners were on stage to present Robert Downey Jr. with the best supporting actor statue for his performance in Oppenheimer. He beat out a pretty stacked group including Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction), Robert De Niro (Killers of the Flower Moon), Ryan Gosling (Barbie), and Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things).

    Looking good, Poor Things.

    The film’s team of Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier, and Josh Weston took home the Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling, while the movie also won for production design, thanks to the crew of James Price, Shona Heath, and Zsuzsa Mihalek. On top of all of that, a naked John Cena presented a third award to Poor Things for costume design, with Holly Waddington accepting the award.

    The screenplay winners.

    Anatomy of a Fall’s Justine Triet and Arthur Harari scooped up the best original screenplay award, while Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction snagged best adapted screeenplay — and used the opportunity to urge Hollywood to take a chance on similarly risky movies.

    The night is getting animated.

    First, War is Over! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko took home the statue for best animated short. That was followed by Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron — which may not actually be his final movie — winning the feature film category, though Miyazaki wasn’t on hand to accept.

    The Oscars are looking a little Messi.

    That’s because the canine star from Anatomy of a Fall got his own seat. What a good boy.

    And the first winner is...

    A squad of five former winners were on stage to present the award for Actress in a Supporting Role, each going into detail about why the nominees were being honored tonight. It was much more touching than the typical reveal. Da’Vine Joy Randolph ultimately won for her performance in The Holdovers, beating out Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer), Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), America Ferrera (Barbie), and Jodie Foster (Nyad).
