Saw Loving. It sat with me much like Brooklyn did last year. I liked it. There was a lot of silence. Obviously the story is very important and the racist assholes sound as stupid as those against marriage equality do.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
So, that Oscar show was cray cray right? I ended up staying for the entire thing and for once, it was worth it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I went to bed at 10 when they'd just gotten to cinematography. Even if I had stayed up, I probably would have turned off the TV without listening to the whole La La Land speech, so I still would have missed it.

I fell asleep at some point and so missed the Best Actor win (which I am more than fine with, blechh!), but woke up just in time for Best Picture.

hip deep in pie
I had turned it off when Casey Affleck won, but was still following on twitter, so quickly turned it back on when everyone started tweeting "WTF?" I had a massive headache and couldn't sleep so I stayed up way too late reading tweets about what had happened. So awful for LaLaLand people, but...it was not dull. And I was happy to see Moonlight win.

Art Crawl!!!
I haven't seen alot of movies recently but I was happy that Moonlight won and sad for the Lala Land connections.

I didn't watch but heard about it this morning. I had a momentary question as to whether the director/producer/someone in the La La Land group decided they'd won enough and that Moonlight deserved it more ... it's good to know that Moonlight's win was really and truly theirs. I feel kind of bad for the La La Land group, since it's kind of a big lift and then a crash, but I'm happy for the Moonlight people.

Oscars so meta

I saw an article today about how the Academy has 6,000 members ... none of them graphic designers ... and a comment on how the way the announcement cards are designed make it easier for the presenters (who are in glaring lights and probably won't wear reading glasses if they need them) to not notice if it's the wrong card.
