Ratatouille wins the Zeddy’s for the 15th year in a row? Never thought I’d live to see it

[Daltn]

It's a big coincidence how the "We Don't Talk About Bruno" performance changed the lyrics to celebrate the Oscars and Bruno's early production name was, in fact, Oscar

[heyitsmegn]

totally agree with EVERYTHING said here. the oscars are trying way too hard to get "good ratings" when tv ratings havent mattered since MASH ended. the people who love movies will watch a 3 hour long ceremony if they feel like it is a genuine attempt to honor and appreciate those movies! thats all there is to it!

I'm increasingly loving the 'out of time' instrumental being a staple of these videos. Everytime I hear it, I just want to go and listen to Dawn FM again for the millionth time. Thank you Nathan

[katabama]

I just want Nathan zed’s opinion on everything he’s so well articulated and the way he shares his opinion is so well spoken and entertaining…get Nathan zed a zeddy 🙏

Plottwist: Will Smith decided to sacrifice his own dignity and make his slap trend so that we would never talk to that godawful “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” Oscars performance.

The people that run award shows are so disconnected from the audience that they’re trying to reach. I legit have no idea who won best picture and this is coming from someone who up until this year tried to keep up with the Oscars because I considered myself a film fan.

"When everyone's famous, no one will be."

You just earned my like for that paraphrase of Syndrome's most iconic line. Good job 👍love your videos

[jzaldivar]

Funniest thing ever was director Bong Joon-ho saying that the Oscar’s were just “very local” awards… he was right

[maismade]

I think it’s just the blatant rigging of the shows and also people realising you don’t need critics opinions to like a piece of art. However it is so enjoyable to see your favourite artist/ work of art win an award and it undoubtedly helps more people find out about more art.

[rai]

Conspiracy theory: Will Smith did that so when you search for “Will Smith Oscar” the results would show you the slap instead of his character in shark tales

[MrSupertall]

I think the death of award shows has a lot to do with the access we now have to celebrities and as you mentioned the inability of these shows to choose the "winners". We are now seeing a departure from these shows because of this, especially in music grammy or not the song is still good and will be remembered while some of the "winners" are forgotten the next year.

I wish I could go back in time to 12 minutes ago when I didn't know Megan Thee Stallion performed a remix of 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' at the OSCARS.

[karlaaaa_f]

Not to mention, covid really showed everyone how INSUFFERABLE these celebrities are. Why would I tune in to see a room full of rich people complaining about whatever ( it's not like they're actually honoring film as an art)?

[NR-nssq]

dropping this video when the GRAMMY’s is live is hilarious 😂 already a classic

[ayanakaaron]

Also, we have more access to celebrities now than ever before. In the 90s, if you wanted to see what your fav starlet was doing in real time you had to watch an award show/live performance. This morning, I watched Doja Cat get her hair washed on Instagram. Sitting down on my couch on a valuable Sunday doesn't hold as much appeal anymore. I'll just look up what she was wearing later and watch the highlights of the night on my lunch break.

5:43 Interesting fact: Bruno was originally going to be called 'Oscar', but the name was changed to 'Bruno' to fit the lyrics of the song better.

[loclapm]

i agree these shows suck. i think we need a legitimate celebration of film and music for every year that isn’t just Spotify Wrapped or people’s letterboxd lists.
they’re just political theater at this point

[caydogsnodgrass]

Your opinion on everything, including the director of Dune winning ZERO academy awards, is spot on once again Mr. Zed.

[LouisOnAir]

My favourite moment of this year's Oscars was the editor of DUNE talking about how his category was edited out of the TV event. The technical awards are the only ones I care about at this point, sets, effects and sound design is where it's at
