Either way the trophies go, there’s gonna be lots to discuss all over Reddit, and if you need some places to gossip, gripe and get into all the action, here are some subreddits that will be running megathreads during Oscars night:
- The largest subreddit for the love of film
- Oscars talk from your favorite film podcast
- From red carpet hits and misses to show analysis
- Your new favorite subreddit for celeb gossip
The TL;DR on this year’s show: Jimmy Kimmel is hosting for the fourth time, which, sure! Oppenheimer is probably going to win Best Picture and turn many more of its 13 nominations into wins. Poor Things has 11 nods, Killers of the Flower Moon has 10 and , which ! The equally snubbed Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig will be asked to watch Ryan Gosling perform “I’m Just Ken”, because the Academy and have chosen chaos every year since…
