Press Room: Dolby Theatre and Picture Nominee

press room: However, it did so while pretending that other headaches notably the existential threat posed by Netflix and other streaming services don't exist, according to Toronto Star. The Oscar-winning actors pose after Sunday's Academy Awards from left Rami Malek, Olivia Colman, Regina King, and Mahershala Ali in the press room on Sunday, Feb. 24, 2019, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Like the scam shaman in that 1939 Best Picture nominee, who was caught bluffing behind a curtain and then worked some version of magic anyway, the film academy finagled its way out of an embarrassing problem.

The telecast ran just over three hours rather than the customary four, making it seem almost too brisk we critics are never happy . Look at all the non-host hosts who were trotted out! Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph joked about how they were not hosting, reminding everybody how funny they are at the Golden Globes and how they'd be preferred candidates to host the Oscars in 2020.
