The night certainly went from an exciting night full of pleasant surprises like Regina King winning Best Supporting Actress for her work in If Beale Street Could Talk to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse winning for Best Animated Film. Alfonso Cuaron had a great night with winning Best Director for Roma and the film won for Best Foreign Film. Everyone was pleasantly surprised to see Glenn Close pick up a Best Actress win for The Wife over Lady Gaga who was the favorite going in. That’s when the unpredictable moments started happening. We saw Rami Malek win Best Actor for playing Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody over Bradley Cooper’s work in A Star is Born. That film also lost out on Best Picture when Bohemian Rhapsody was announced the big winner of the night. If you’ve been watching my reviews or hearing my commentary on My Talk 107.1, you can probably guess my reaction when Bohemian Rhapsody won Best Picture. Best Picture Comedy/Musical went to Green Book. Both Best Picture winners come with their fair share of baggage and backlash given how they depict their subjects and the lack of representation at hand. We shall see how this all pans out when the Oscar nominations are announced. .
