I agree. I'm happy that Ariana won but Mike and Rachel were also great in the film.

As was David as Bernardo

Rachel not so much but Faist absolutely!!

Mike Faist was imo so much better than Jesse Plemons...

Agreed. Mike Faist should’ve been there. He was snubbed.

I...was shocked they used that scene. Not it was bad, far from it. However, we just went from a clip that was somewhat serious and lighthearted enough to a scene that reminded me of just a downright downer event. Not the most uplifting clip to showcase the performance (I guess that's why it was used, lol).

@@thefirstbourne149 we don't know which scene they used. In My opinion i think they used a boy like that.

WOW ACTUALLY? Definitely deserved

She tried so hard to make the "Yeah, I knew I was gonna win" face. I said TRIED, not succeeded.

Although I guess that's really saying something when your worst performance is only right there and you just can't keep it together!

Just you wait

It is justified, back in the distant 1960s it was very difficult to know if you would win or not, it all depended on the critics, now there are about 1000 awards that already give you an idea of who is going to win, and well, Ariana won all the important awards, so she already knew

Creo que pensaron que como ella (H.E.R) es una cantante famosa que tal vez atraiga a más personas. Y cual mejor manera de incluirla que con el hombre que gano el Oscar por la película para la que ella escribió y también ganó el año pasado?

so deserved.

I thought Kirsten’s performance was very messy personally

@@hr7460 her character was a mess itself. Mentally tormented from start to end, and she expertly showed how someone can break away slowly till they can't take it anymore.

Ariana deserved this award

@@shafiulkabir5337 I saw both films and although I think Dunst did a great job portraying the tormented, broken alcoholic mother who sees her son’s security and future being compromised by Phill what Ariana did in WSS is far more deserving of a win. She acted, danced and sang her ass off. She killed it in all three categories every single second she was on the screen, you just couldn’t take your eyes of her.

@@gpapa31 It's a difference in opinion I guess. I saw both films too. But at the end of the day acting is the main criteria and I think Dunst acted better, Ariana was excellent no doubt, but Dunst acted better, that's my opinion. Singing and dancing is part of a musical, if that gives extra benefit then maybe Hugh Jackman should've won for Les Miserables a few years back and Garfield should've won instead of Smith. But that wasn’t the case.

She had a major role that was important to the plot. I thought she was phenomenal in it

Did you even watched the movie? She's more than just 5 minutes lol 😂

Well, actually Anita could be easily considered main character alongside Tony and Maria.

Were you awake when you saw the film? Real question

She’s just proud of who she is and she’s proud of what she stands for. She’s trying to show others that are like her that they aren’t alone and that they could be just like her if they worked hard and kept their heads in the game. It’s a beautiful message and doesn’t need to be ruined because someone doesn’t want to hear what she has to say. I’d rather her message be broadcasted to the world every day than the constant hate we always put out into the world. Why shouldn’t she showcase her ideals? They are part of what makes her who she is.

Yes, Ariana is queer. She is the first openly queer woman of colour to win an Oscar for acting.

@@brockbuster Thanks! What a great explenation of what gueer means. 😂

@@WedrownyGrajek ???

gay

@@foreverkingdom8560 What's the difference between queer and gay?

Define "conceited." She's clearly humble and gracious here. Not to mention talented and exceptional.
