Sometimes the recognition isn't about using bait...

++ I didn't watch the Oscars, I only paid attention to everyone reacting to it in real time, but I am so very happy that The Shape of Water won Best Picture. Part of me wishes that Get Out could have gotten it, as I feel like it deserved more wins (and it really would have stuck it to the Academy members who had really racist opinions about the film itself), but if there was to be another film to win instead anything by Guillermo del Toro would do. At least Get Out won for best original screenplay, which makes history as Jordan Peele is the first black person to win the award. The Shape of Water, Get Out, and Coco were the highlight wins of the event, which makes me happy.

++ The teaser for the second season of Luke Cage looks absolutely hype.

++ Krysten Ritter speculates that there won't be another season of The Defenders. I'm not even remotely surprised by this, considering how lukewarm and blah the first season was. The basic concept had potential but combined with the bad writing and execution of plot it just didn't deliver and was a huge letdown. Though I guess it served its purpose of getting the main characters together in some way, but it still could've been much better than it was. It's disappointing since it didn't take full advantage of the time they had, you know what I mean? At least now we can have them appearing and guesting in each other's respective shows.

++ We have a trailer for The Expanse S3 and it looks so good, I can't wait.

Oh, Luke Cage gets another season? Nice. I didn't watch it yet but when I do and I love the season, I don't have to wait so long for the next one. \o/

I wish I could watch the Oscars every year but because of the time difference it's in the middle of the night and it would totally screw my sleep pattern. Aaand I am too old to stay awake during the whole night. :>

After Luke Cage practically broke Netflix when it premiered and got a lot of praising reviews, it was no doubt that it would get a second season. :)

In truth, I don't watch award shows anymore. I used to when I was a teenager and somewhat in my early twenties, but I don't know whether I've grown out of them or they just haven't been as entertaining as they used to be, but I just can't seem to care. Also, most of the things that I want to win either weren't even nominated or don't end up winning anyway. I will only watch other people react and see the outcome after the fact.

And I have to admit that I always watched the Oscars because of the (most) beautiful dresses the women are wearing. :)

Yeah, true, the dresses do have their appeal, although thanks to the Internet I can view them without watching anything, lol. Though in recent years I've felt like the dresses at the Oscars red carpet (or any awards events, tbh) have been rather bland and uninteresting. The Oscars this year felt like there was some variety going on, which I liked seeing.

That's true, too!
I like beautiful dresses but like you wrote, some of them were bland. And others were ... wow ... I like elegant dresses, I don't need so see woman with dresses where you can see everything. O_O
I guess, I am a little bit old-fashioned. I don't have a problem with a tight dress or with a beautiful cleavage but some of the dresses are not looking good at all. :(
