Tamara Tattles Oscars Watch Party 2020!

February 9, 2020 by tamaratattles 125 Comments

Welcome to the Tamara Tattles Oscars Watch Party and the spectacle and pageantry of the Oscars! Loved the format of the blog post of last year so much, I’m stealing from myself! (with some revisions). I am adding the what and where to watch at the beginning for you, so you don’t miss a thing!) It appears that the Oscars are going hostless again! (Thanks a lot, Kevin Hart.) 

Red Carpet And The Big Show

The Academy has a Twitter account, and apparently they will be posting red carpet interviews and looks. I’m sure E! will be pushing their content as well across all social media, as will other entertainment news sites. Just keep in mind the earlier the television show listed, the more boring it will be. The E! Countdown is usually a bunch of talking heads pontificating what they think the stars were going to wear and they are usually wrong. They’ll also go over past years. The networks haven’t changed their scheduling from last year, at least when I checked my TIVO last. Tamara sometimes is able to update this blog with Red Carpet looks, etc. Keep an eye at the end of the blog for those pictures!

Best Picture Nominee – Little Women

Television Coverage

All the coverage starts at 10 AM Pacific, 1 PM Eastern. I’ve listed the show titles and lengths so you can figure out what to watch when. Double check your local listings for the individual start times. Don’t forget, the actual show starts at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET!

E! Channel 

1:PM ET/10 AM PT Countdown to the Red Carpet: Oscars 2020 ( A four hour “brunch?”)

5:00 PM ET /2 PM PT Live From the Red Carpet: Oscars 2020 (2 ½ hrs)

7:30 pm ET /4:30 PM PT Red Carpet Rundown: Oscars 2020 (½ hr – right before the Big Show) AKA TIME TO SWITCH TO ABC! Whenever it ends? After Party: Oscars 2020 (1 ½ hrs)

Major east coast US cities will air their local news for half an hour right after the show ends with and hour of after party following as time allows. 

Best Picture Nominee – 1917

ABC

On the West Coast, ABC starts at 10 AM with a “Oscars Countdown” for 3 hours, then a 1/2 American Idol ad (probably when the East Coast is getting its local news).  After that there is an “Oscars Pre-Arrival Show” that goes for 2 hours, and finally the Opening Ceremonies starts at 3:30 PM with the awards starting at 5:30 PM!

On the east coast, at least in Atlanta we have a 2 and 1/2 hour preshow. Our local news will run first and then the festivities begin at 5:30 ET where we will start talking about the fashions here at the Tamara Tattles Oscars Watch Party! The actual Oscars start at 8 pm. Then we have the local news for a half hour and maybe an hour of After show if it doesn’t run super long. 

Ballots

I still recommend going to the Oscars official website or Vanity Fair for a complete list of nominees, in case you track at home. Both have printable versions of the ballots as well. By the time this posts, I will have also seen ALL the shorts! I’ll let you know which ones I’m rooting for in the comments.

Best Picture Nominee – Harriet

Oscars So, So White

Oh hey, it is Tamara Tattles butting in again. I am in love with Leslie Jones Instagram. She posted this that Cynthia Ervio was the only black person nominated this year, so she voted for her and abstained from voting this year. I thought to myself, “that can’t be right! We would have heard about this everywhere! ” So I did some investigating. Of course she was right, at least for actors. 

Only five black people were nominated for Oscars in 2020. That’s down from 15 in 2019, 13 in 2018 and 18 in 2017. This year, the only black acting nominee was Cynthia Erivo, nominated for Best Actress for Harriet. She was also nominated for Stand Up from Harriet along with co-writer and composer Joshuah Brian Campbell in the Best Song category.

If Cynthia Erivo wins either award, she with be will be an EGOT! I think she has a really good shot for Stand Up, and Renée Zellweger is going to give her a fight for Best Actress.  She has won Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical in The Color Purple, She won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album for The Color Purple‘s soundtrack, and she won a Emmy Award for Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program for The Color Purple. If she wins an Oscar, she will be the only the 16th person ever to win an EGOT in four competitive categories and only the third black EGOT joining Whoopi Goldberg and John Legend. She would also be the youngest EGOT ever at age 33.

Best Animated Short – Hair Love Matthew A. Cherry and Karen Rupert 

The other three black nominees include Ladj Ly a French screenwriter and director for Les Misérables in the Best International Feature category. Matthew A. Cherry and Karen Rupert Toliver were nominated for Best Animated Short for Hair Love. So a total of five black PEOPLE but for only four awards. Wow.  You can watch the full short below! It’s cute!

PRESENTERS

It is a pretty good list of people this year! They’ll have the usual crop of past winners of course, including Jane Fonda and Spike Lee! Frankly, Spike surprises me a little. Chris Rock, Maya Rudolph, and Ray Romano also popped out when I read the list. No Jennifer Aniston, so no repeat of the awkward photos of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston backstage like at the Golden Globes!

MUSICAL ACTS

I had no idea that Best Actress nominee Cynthia Erivo also wrote the Harriet nominated original song! I’ve not heard it yet, but honestly, Lady Gaga would be hard to follow in that “actress and songwriter” nominee category. She will be performing her song, as will Elton John (I am hoping Taron Edgerton surprises us.) Rounding out the performances are Chrissy Metz, Randy Newman, and Idina Menzel. Joining Menzel will be 9 of the others who are the voices of Elsa in other countries! 

Also, it has been announced that there will be special performances by Janelle Monae, Billie Eilish, and Questlove. They are being secretive on what this is all about. I don’t even know if they are singing together or not. Buckle up, it may be a long night! And an even longer Oscars Watch Party!

MY FAVORITES AND OPINIONS

I’ve not looked at the oddsmakers in forming my guesses on who will win. I’ve not had the time! So just my best guess off of years of watching the Oscars.

Best Picture

I think that 1917 is going to take it, but my personal favorite was JoJo Rabbit. But, I surprise myself in saying this, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is a close second. I usually won’t even see a Tarantino film because of the over the top violence. (I’m still scarred from Pulp Fiction). JoJo Rabbit and Once Upon A Time in Hollywood are movies I’ll watch again. I probably won’t see 1917 again, unless the people I’m with pick it for a movie night or something. It is BEAUTIFULLY shot though, and unlike other war movies. The Best Picture voting operates a bit like a caucus, which is why I think it will win. People probably love or hate the others, but there really isn’t anything unlikable about 1917. 

Best Director

Yet again, women were left out of the Directing category. As I stated in an earlier post, I think that Greta Gerwig got robbed, and Scorsese only got the nomination because of sentimentality, and because the majority of the membership are still old white guys like him. I’m also a little disappointed Taika Waititi didn’t get some attention for JoJo Rabbit. (actually, he should have been nominated for playing Hitler in the Best Supporting Category!) Of the five who were nominated, I’d probably vote for Quentin Tarantino, again, unusual for me! I think it will actually go to Sam Mendes or Bong Joon Ho.

Best Actress Nominee – Saoirse Ronan

Acting Awards

This is where it gets tricky, since a good number of the nominees weren’t in Best Pictures and I’ve not seen a lot of them! I saw Joker, and can understand why Joaquin Phoenix is the favorite to win.

However, Leonardo DiCaprio was awesome. So was his costar, Brad Pitt. Frankly, I’m not sure Pitt isn’t in more scenes than DiCaprio, so I’m a little surprised he is in the Supporting category.

I wouldn’t be upset to hear Tom Hanks discuss Fred Rogers though. Best Actress will probably go to Renee Zellweger, but I’m rooting for Saoirse Ronan! I’m usually in agreement with those on social media that joke about Scarlett Johansson, but she was simply fantastic in JoJo Rabbit. I’m pulling for her to win in that category, instead of Best Actress. My fear is that she’ll cancel herself out. If that happens, I hope it goes to Florence Pugh!

    They just need to give every award to Brad Pitt. He is God’s gift to my generation as far as I am concerned. I have spent years watching that pretty man in movies. People can say looks aren’t everything but with him, well his looks are everything. I made a friend of mine sit through every glorious moment of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, she was bored, I was enthralled.

    After hearing about how the movie was portrayed I ventured out and saw ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.I was relieved that it wasn’t to horrific to watch. I remember how distraught my family was during this time and how my Grandpa VIto and Grandma Mary were during this time even though I was very young. I remember sitting with and sharing the tables with the LaBianca’s family at St. Peter’s Italian Catholic Church in LA for Sunday festivities. What was really something was sitting through “The Joker” That movie made me so uncomfortable that I kept looking at my watch to see If I could stand to stay in the theatre and finish watching the thing. I almost got up and left. It’s a whole lot of Mental illness, Psychosis with fragmented scenes typical of someone who is scattered and delusional and not taking meds with some really disturbing scenes that are just frightening.. I can see how Joaquin is nominated. I still to this days am having flashbacks. It leaves an impression that’s for sure.

      Oh, I forgot your family was friends with the LaBiancas. I found out after watching Once that Quentin reached out to Sharon’s sister. He is notorious for NOT letting people read the scripts. She got to read the whole thing.

      She even loaned them some of Sharon’s jewelry – Margot wore it in the movie!

      I wasn’t as tormented by Joker as I was The Revenant, but I agree. I think it should have been one of those movies where the actor is nominated but the film is not. It says a lot of wrong things. Also, the SNL wasn’t exactly wrong with their white guy rage skit.

    As a fan of This Is Us, how did it go unnoticed by me what a talented singer Chrissy Metz is? Thanks for posting that video! Just WOW!

    I usually am able to watch all the nominated films by either renting or purchasing on demand before the awards (rarely go to a theater anymore), but so many are yet to be available. I’ve watched the ones available on demand and on streaming platforms so will be going into tonight’s broadcast not seeing the ones that will most likely win. Should be fun nonetheless!

    ERICA is the expert I am just very into HARRIET and Cynthia Erivo and hope she wins Best Actress AND best song. I got up this morning and drove across town to a theater that had Harriet playing. I took in the noon show and it was AH MAZING.

    Thankfully the theatre wasn’t very full and we were all spread out so I could weep quietly through the movie. The plot is obviously a heavy one, but THE MUSIC. THE MUSIC should win all of the awards. I was either tapping my foot or trying not to audibly sob with every song. If this music has a soundtrack and you are a music person GO BUY IT RIGHT NOW.

    I wish you could see the movie on the big screen. It is a beautifully shot movie that you neeeeeed to see on the big screen. I don’t think I would have be AS moved watching on my couch. It was the first two hours in a long time where I was not online or thinking about the site or feeling like I need to run errands or go the the grocery store or get up and cook and clean. I was IN THE STORY the entire time.

    We the move ran and the credits rolled not a single soul moved. That was because Stand Up (sung by the multitalented Cynthia Erivo ) was playing. That is the song nominated for BEST SONG. And as much as I love Chrissy Metz and would be happy for her if she won, She will not.

    CYNTHIA ERIVO HAS BEST SONG IN THE BAG. THERE IS NOTHING TO COMPARE.

    Sorry, Erica. I know you are rooting for Love Me Again from Rocketman but is Cynthia Erivo and co-writer and composer, Joshuah Brian Campbell do not win tonight, something is TERRIBLY wrong with the voters.

    If you can find a theater near you, check the dollar/two dollar, type places GO IMMEDIATELY to the very next showing. Call in to work. Cancel your doctors appointment. skip school. JUST GO.

    Cynthia Erivo is going to be the next big thing.

    But THE ENTIRE CAST IS AMAZING. Janelle Monáe should have been nominated for Supporting Actress. All the men were great. EVERYONE IS GREAT. This should have been a BEST PICTURE Leslie Odom Jr. should have been nominated. and…

    Henry Hunter Hall as Walter STOLE EVERY SCENE HE WAS IN ! This kid is GOING PLACES!

I think of the movie Phantom Thread. My friend and I saw it at our local independent theater. I will never forget the biker looking dude near me whispering “OH SHIT” at yet another plot twist.

      Based on this… I won’t be mad if Elton loses. I just can’t wait for the music performances this year!!!

      HOW DID I MISS THIS COMMENT ON THE DAY OF.

      I might be speaking into a vacuum if Suzy doesn’t have notifications on, but I know people check out the Oscar posts throughout the year so I CAN’T let it go.

      If you honestly think that Scorsese’s work over Greta Gerwig’s work with Little Women is better? I’m thinking of asking TT to put you in Window Licker Status. I’ve never asked her to do such a thing. But Martin PHONED IT IN. Fuck… I am not sure he didn’t use sets from Casino and Goodfellas. He sure as fuck did in casting. His ONLY interesting casting (and that isn’t even him) was Ray Romano. I was happy for Ray. But everything about Little Women was so much better. I hate switching back and forth in terms of timelines… and on top of that you had “fiction vs. reality” with Little Women, yet IT STILL MADE FUCKING SENSE. Greta deserved the nomination over Martin. He could do Irishman in his sleep, and probably did. He should be disqualified for letting DeNiro show up on set with that shitty dye job supposedly making him look like a 40 year old alone.

      Here here! I agree! I think his looks were held against when it came to awards. BTW not only is Brad Pitt off the charts handsome, his voice is amazing. It is a perfect combo of looks and the right sound, a wonderfully sexy voice.

    I watched. I’m surprised Brad is getting so much flak for his speech. Brad’s political statement was very concise. He was not rambling like Joaquin. I am happy for the Parasite team and the diversity it brings. I just didn’t like how he had a interpreter. It ruined the flow of the speech process. Got on my nerves a bit after dealing with it for the whole awards season.

      He is getting flak? For that throwaway, funny comment about it being 45 more seconds than John Bolton got? I haven’t read that, at least on Twitter.

      Phoenix was a rambling mess and is why, if you are going to make a political statement, you must have one prepared. If you are an actor, you don’t even have to take the piece of paper up there – you learn an entire script and you can’t memorize a 45 second speech?

    Unbelievably moving. 7 minutes.

    And..Lion Forge, who created it, is here in St. Louis. Their motto is “comics for everyone”. Kids comics, young teen, teen, art, and adult (but not x rated).

    Unless you see animators at work, you have no idea of the painstaking, meticulous work that goes into each frame of animation.

    My animator/animation teacher daughter has been drawing a 5 second sequence to demo for her class. She has been working at it in my studio all day. I am supplying coffee, food and internet.

    To all those who make viewers cry with pixels and pencil sketches that move- I salute you.
