Today is the day! It’s time for red carpets, teary speeches, and bets lost and won. We are live-blogging the Oscars tonight to cheer on our favorites and dish about the absurdities.
Starting at 7 p.m. (EST) tonight, Sunday, March 4, we’ll be watching the 90th Annual Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
Join us right here, cheer along, scroll down, and comment any time during the ceremony that you feel the urge to opine. We welcome your remarks—as short or long as you like. Comments will be screened before we post them, and our online chats are famously civil (if a little catty sometimes about fashion). Feel free to share your point of view. Feel free to share links and photos—and Tweets @womensvoices, too!
And catch up on our Oscar-nominated movie coverage with Alex MacAaron’s reviews.
Another great night for film. Goodnight everyone.
Shape of Water! Wow. I predicted Three Billboards, but loved them both (so much).
I am SO disappointed. I so wanted Three Billboards to win.
I’m so glad they gave Beatty and Dunaway a do-over.
Frances McDormand’s character was tougher than Clint Eastwood on his meanest day.
Frances McDormand – you would be well advised not to mess with her. “We all have stories to tell and projects to finance. Inclusion!”
I am just thrilled that Francis won. I will NEVER forget this film or her performance.
Jennifer Lawrence and Jodie Foster were wonderful.
Gary Oldham, as expected. Two categories to go, folks.
As my daughter just pointed out …. lots of mom-love tonight.
We have four amazing women up next!
“These four men and Greta Gerwig …” Hahha. I guess it’s progress since the Golden Globes.
Eddie Vedder. That was really beautiful.
Trivia: Lin-Manuel Miranda and Robert Lopez both went to Hunter Elementary in NYC.
Keala Settle has appeared on Broadway in “Waitress,” “Les Mis,” and more.
Amazing music and amazing visual: This is me.
First woman ever nominated for Cinematography.
I don’t know about you, but for the past half hour I’ve been jumping to my feet, cheering and clapping for the winners and their respective acceptance speeches. Special cheers to James Ivory (how I loved and still love those Merchant-Ivory films!) and Jordan Peele! And how brave for the Oscar producers to showcase Annabelle Sciorra, Ashley Judd, and Mira Sorvino and allow them to speak!
Time’s Up! Can’t believe that this subject was treated so beautifully and clearly.
And broadened to include every person who has been marginalized. So well done.
We spotted Delores Huerta — the 87 year old labor leader and civil rights activist — in that tribute of activists!
Maya Rudolph and Tiffany Haddish are bringing some needed levity and humor to this show!
That was fun!
I agree, Alex.
Uh-oh. Stunt time. Thanking the moviegoers in person. These gimmicks don’t usually come off very well I’m afraid.
The year of the Girl Scout cookies — that worked : )
“Representation matters!”
SO excited about “Coco”. (It is the name my grandchildren call me)

Kobe Bryant wins an Oscar. The Oscars are made for Dreams. Wow!
Not entirely digging all the man velvet. But always do you 🙂
Allison Janney! Yay! To me she’ll always be irreplaceable C. J. Cregg, the honorable press secretary who hated to telll a lie
Allison Janney is such a class act (and spectacular actress).
“What you don’t know about women is a lot.” Always loved that line- and Olympia Dukakis!
Gael Garcia Bernal. That is all.
Mozart in the Jungle! (Audible sigh.)
We are dreamers.
This Oscar performance is better than the actual films.
I want The Oscars to get an Oscar.
It feels redemptive!
Love Lupita’s glasses! And love this: “I am from Pakistan and Iowa. Two places nobody in Hollywood can find on a map.”
“We are immigrants and dreamers.” Nice.
The montages are wonderful – and strategic. Hollywood needs to remind people about all that’s good (after we’ve been bombarded with all that’s bad).
So far the show feels upbeat and hopeful and intelligent! Cool commercials too-like “this is how you make history- this is how you create a new world.” That’s twitter!
It’s amazing! I love seeing these issues getting the air time they need.
Agreed! It feels like a shift is really happening!
Mary J. Blige “Mighty River.” Just wow.
Wow, Eva Marie is 90! She looks marvelous, and she’s so dignified
Yes how strong and amazing she looks! What a pleasure to see her tonight.
Yes and Christopher Plummer looks dignified and terrific at 88!
He’ll always be Captain Von Trapp to me. <3
Me too 🙂
