21/24 (+3 alts) = 87.5%, my third best score ever!

Horror films won 8 Oscars!

I'm happy with the winners. I really just wanted Amy to win and she did, so the rest of it was cake. Happy MBJ was the chosen one to defeat the evil Chalamet. That reaction was something. And OMG a tie????

As for the ceremony, it was good! Conan was fantastic and that Weapons opening was great. Didn't care about the closing One Battle spoof. I just hate how they still can't get the acting presentations correct, and too many people getting cut off. Cut some of the presenter banter and that gives some time. I do have issues, I always do - come on.

Otherwise, again... I'm happy! Always nice to have that feeling after the Oscars. Back tomorrow evening with my full wrap up.
