Last night was the Oscars! Jane and I watched it in person together which was v special, even though we started watching an hour late. Instead of our usual content round up, we’re just going to round up the best moments and best tweets from the night.
And this week is Lizzy’s birthday week! Happy birthday Lizzy.

My Octopus Teacher winning + subsequent tweets
Daniel Kaluuya’s thank you speech
Skip to the last ~30 seconds:
Here's Daniel Kaluuya's mom and sister reacting to him saying "My mom and my dad...they had sex. It's amazing! I'm here!" at the end of his Oscar speech
Youn Yuh-Jung
How much of a badass is Youn Yuh-Jung that she gets up on stage to accept her #Oscar and immediately starts flirting with Brad Pitt.
And then calls out all the people who have mispronounced her name. Boss
Christy Lemire @christylemire
I love how Youn Yuh-jung’s approach to this whole thing was, “Uh, thank you, it’s insane that I’m here but since you asked, I am in fact hilarious.”
fyi: youn yuh-jung has a reality tv show called youn's kitchen where a group of south korean actors open up a pop up restaurant. the first season was in indonesia, and the second was in the canary islands. it is v. pleasant and v. soothing.
I’m really sad Minari didn’t win more awards- Jane
Chloe Zhao
the fact that Chloe Zhao wore not only sneakers with her knit Hermès but a cross-body shoulder bag...I only admire it
H.E.R.’s outfit
Anthony Hopkins unexpected/anti-climactic win over Chadwick Boseman to end the show
