And the winner is…La La Land! Just kidding, it's the Emoji Movie! Kidding again, it's The Shape of Water. Ja, this blog is about the Oscars last night. Luckily, no mistake happened. Well, not that I saw anyways. I didn't see the entire show. If you didn't know, it was delayed because of the Olympics.

So, Jimmy Kimmel hosted again. And again. It was okay, not anything really special.

First, he talked about sexual harassment, movements like #MeToo and #NeverAgain, Oscar turning 90, about how women and blacks are getting lead roles, and maybe more. Oh yeah, he said that since the Oscars was a long show, he said/ gave a jet ski to whoever gave the shortest speech (36 seconds).

He also did something similar to what he did last year. He and other celebs he invited went to a nearby theater to surprise the audience there, and gave them snacks. He made a guy announce the next award.

Jimmy also let a kid on the stage, pretending the kid was his nine- year- old self. The kid spoke about adult's Jimmy's age, where adult Jimmy was a little offended. He then brushed him off.

The Emoji Movie might not have won Best Picture, but won Best Animated Movie. Ha-ha, readers. You are so gullible. It was Coco.

I knew Coco was going to win, just like I knew Zootopia would last year. It was a fantasico movie; very Oscar worthy! I reviewed Coco, so see my review on it for more details. I haven't seen the other movies that were nominated in that category.

I was surprised that The Boss Baby was one of them. It wasn't bad; it's just that it was that Oscar-worthy. And The Emoji Movie wasn't nominated for anything. I haven't seen it. I just know that basically almost everybody on the Internet hated it. So, I don't know if I'll see it. Maybe once to see how bad people claim it is. I heard that Cars 3 was better then Cars 2.

Steve showed me a clip from the 2010 Oscars where animated characters that starred in Coraline, The Princess and the Frog, Up, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and The Book of Kells did interviews about being nominated. They were pretty funny! Louis from Princess and the Frog prayed that his wasn't going to end up on YouTube after thinking that they won instead of it just being nominated (and he sat on frog Naveen). Sorry, Los, it did wind up on YouTube! Up won that year, btw.

Coco also won Best Original Song for 'Remember Me'. The song, like the movie is a tearjerker and very heartwarming. If you haven't seen Coco yet, what are you waiting for? See it, and you'll know why it won.

I thought any new song from the Beauty and the Beast remake could've been nominated, espcially the beautiful Celine Dion's 'How can a Moment Last Forever', and 'Evermore', but they weren't. Oh well! They don't have to win an Oscar to be great. At least the animated film won for 'Beauty and the Beast (Tale as Old as Time'). And I think also Best Original Score. It almost won Best Picture, but lost to Silence of the Lambs. Up lost as well for Best Picture of 2009. Wonder Woman also could've been nominated, but I don't think it was nominated for anything.

On a brief note, I heard that people said they saw Jennifer Lawrence jumped over same chairs while carrying whine, and it didn't spill! That's impressive; way to go, J-Law!

Okay, maybe In Momorium wasn't perfect, like maybe every year. It left out Adam West, the original Batman, and others. I mean, Adam West was Batman. How can they forget him? And Steve also said that the day before, the actor that played the original Cogsworth, Jumba and other Disney films, died. I don't know if they included him, but the original Rafifki also died last year. I don't blame them to include everyone; there are a lot of people in the movie business. And I don't blame them of not including someone who died the day before in the slideshow. That takes time to make! If they knew, they could've mentioned him, but, oh well, that's life. Well, to the pass ones, it's the afterlife! I'm sorry if you found that offensive. Even if they're not well known, or did bad roles or movies, they still should be acknowledged. Now, two voices behind our beloved original objects are dead, Lumiere (2004) and now Cogsworth. I'm afraid Mrs. Potts will be next (in her 90s). Chip will be last, after all of them, because he was the child, so is the youngest.

So, that was really the highlights of last night. There were mix-ups this time. I kind of knew there wouldn't be. They would learn from last year, and make sure it's not going to repeat. Still, it would be fun to talk about. Ten more years and it would be the 100th show. Let's see what that'll have in store!
