I hope they have a big backlash to not airing all the awards...

with truncated all of the songs.

I can't @ what a mess this is.

Just when Emily thought she didn't have to show up.

[scriptedending]

lol, she doesn't!

Spoiler Alert: "The Place Where Lost Things Go" from "Mary Poppins Returns" will be performed on the #Oscars.

BONUS SPOILER ALERT: It will be performed by a surprise special guest!

I'm guessing Julie Andrews or Dick Van Dyke (I haven't seen the sequel).

OSCARS SONG UPDATE: The Academy now wants to all 5 nominees to perform, albeit for only 90 seconds each. For the record, Lady Gaga's wail arrives 2.5 mins into "Shallow," and that's really the moment ABC wants. Also, they're trying to get Queen to open the show and, uh, rock you.

[zoaster_toaster]

Adam Lambert is their current frontman I believe (and while he's no Freddie he is good).

[masterofmystery]

ugh

[zoaster_toaster]

I love how all the Academy's Oscar decisions are hilariously backfiring on them - Best Popular Picture, Kevin Hart hosting, not having all Best Song nominees performing...

[tucker]

this is truly an awful year for them

hope 2019 is the year they start realizing things

[crucified]

Is Bradley not singing with Gaga? I'm sure he is, but if he's not then this is really gonna be one depressing ass Oscar night.

[masterofmystery]

i was going through indiewire's predicted best picture winners, and they listed 'a star is born' 7 out of 8, sigh

[crucified]

Thank fuck this awards season is almost over. This might be even worse than last year's, tbh. (I could be wrong, though. I didn't follow last year closely at all because I'm a DDL stan and it was insulting to see him to lose to G*ry O*dman. IDK why I'm putting myself through this awards season because it's just as insulting to see Bradley lose to Rami fucking Malek, but ugh... there's part of me that just won't give up hope for some kind of 'upset', lol.)

[masterofmystery]

this is definitely worse than last year
