I went 18/24, with 4 alts. I really thought Shape of Water was going to win, but switched to Three Billboards at the last minute. God damn it. I'll not be so sure of myself next time with regards to "This Is Me".

I thought the ceremony was pretty solid. It got better in the second half when the winners I was rooting for started kicking in. Very good speeches in there, too. The best part of the evening may have been the Oscar stage. My God, it was jawdroppingly beautiful.

I need GIFs of Viola Davis dancing to "This Is Me" and Greta Gerwig mouthing "I love him" about Guillermo.

Be back tomorrow/Tuesday with full coverage.

Oh, and this won't be mentioned in that post because it doesn't have to do with the show particularly. E! was an awful trainwreck and while Ryan talked to a dozen or so celebs, it was clear he was being ignored especially considering who was interviewed on the official red carpet on ABC. I have no reason to watch E! outside of award season, and I most likely won't.

BEST OF ABC: THAT COVERAGE ENDED WITH SANDRA BULLOCK AND NICOLE KIDMAN. AND NICOLE MENTIONED SHOWING HER KIDS PRACTICAL MAGIC. I died.
