The Oscars is rarely uneventful.
Remember when Adrian Brody randomly pashed Halle Berry on stage in 2003? Or how Roberto Benigni was so happy to see Life Is Beautiful win Best Foreign Language Film in 1999 that he started climbing on the furniture?
Well, 2019 is no different. Here are some of the most entertaining moments so far.
The costume design award was a single, elaborate joke
This is how Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry dressed to present the award for Costume Design.
“These artists create a pastiche of textiles with authenticity that never distract from the story,” Henry said.
“Costume designers construct the looks that ground a character to a particular time and place in the subtlest, subtlest of ways.”
“So true,” McCarthy said. “So true.”
Tom Morello talked about Vice — and nobody’s quite sure why
Morello is most famous for playing the wah-wah guitar lines in one of rock’s biggest anti-establishment bands, Rage Against The Machine.
As far as we can tell, he has no connection to Vice, the Dick Cheney biopic up for Best Picture, or really to the film industry at large.
That didn’t stop him taking the stage to give a brief overview of the movie, in what was the first of the ceremony’s short descriptors for each of the Best Picture nominees.
Is it because RATM were really fervently anti-authority, and Cheney was the second-most powerful person in the world? Because they were anti-American imperialism (the name of their second record, Evil Empire, is a dig at US foreign policy) and Cheney was a key part of the push to go to war in Iraq?
That would make sense, right?
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga got kind of intimate
Should we … should we have left the room?
The pair performed Shallow, from A Star Is Born.
They started off singing to each other across the piano, but after a while Cooper, who also directed and starred in the film, ditched his microphone and took a seat on Gaga’s piano stool.
They are actors, yes, but did anyone else feel like things got a little … private?
Those poor makeup and hairstyling winners, who did not know how to speech
The three-way-split acceptance speech from Greg Cannom, Kate Biscoe and Patricia Dehaney, for their work on Vice, was hobbled and awkward, probably owing to the trio’s nerves and inexperience being in front of the camera.
The Oscars often result in uncomfortable speeches, mostly from people who didn’t prepare anything because they didn’t expect to win. That doesn’t seem like the case here, though.
The three were trying to read from the same sheet of names, though sometimes they used their own. Occasionally it seemed like they didn’t know the people they were thanking?
