Join members of the Animated Views team and your fellow forum members for a live chat during the Oscar telecast! We'll be talking about the people, the fashions, the story-lines, the awards, and also keeping tabs on who is leading in the contest throughout the night!

We'll officially kick off the chat at 7:30pm ET on Sunday, March 12th. Registered forum members can click the "Chat" link at the top of any forum page to enter the chat room.

Let's keep the chat room rated PG please. Violators may be kicked out.

Looking forward to seeing you guys there!

Thankfully Sky Showcase has just confirmed they’re going to simulcast their UK-exclusive Sky Cinema showing, so I’ll be able to jump in here too, which is cool as this is one of the most interesting and close races of good to excellent films in years! See you then!

Hi, all. Looking forward to the annual chat. Hopefully I'll do better than the last couple of years! Depending on EEAAO doing well, even though I didn't like it at all. It took me three tries to even make it through.

One of the more overrated films.

[Ben]

Ooh, thems fightin' talk, buster!

Everything Everywhere is, for me, totally unique out of this year's crop, and its ambitions were matched by its accomplishments. Also every other film didn’t offer anything you weren’t expecting or knew what they were going to be like. No, not everyone could plug into Everything, but for those of us that did, I’m glad it’s being deservedly recognised.

[Randall]

Ditto!

And it looks like I can stream the broadcast this year, with CTV offering it over their app. Yay! I'm looking forward to this show more than I have in a few years, for sure. I'm really hoping for the Everything folks, and Brandan Fraser.

[Ben]

I haven’t seen The Whale, and obviously it’s great that Fraser is getting a career comeback, but apparently it’s a pretty nasty film (not a surprise from Aronofsky). I’m hoping Austin Butler takes it, but can understand it going to Fraser. Just another example of how razor-edge this year’s choices are!

Now, now, let's just get an Honest opinion on all the nominees:
