- Quotes
Self - Winner: Oh my god. I did not expect to win this award. I am so, so, so, so grateful. Not only to win but to be a part of such an important, important story. So thank you so much. Thank you to the Academy - I've always wanted to say that. And of course, my collaborators D'Mile and Tiara Thomas, the song wouldn't be what it was without them. Of course I have to thank God for giving us these gifts, and my parents, my beautiful mother who's here with me today and my father at home. All those days of listening to Sly and the Family Stone and Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye, they really paid off. So thank you, Dad. Thank you so much to Archie and Shaka King and everybody that was involved in this movie and gave me the call and gave us the call to do this record. I'm so, so grateful. I just want to say this. You know, musicians, filmmakers, I believe we have an opportunity and a responsibility, to me, to tell the truth and to write history the way that it was and how it connects us to today and what we see going on in the world today. And yeah, I'm just, I have no words. I'm just so, so, so happy and grateful. And yeah, knowledge is power. Music is power. And as long as I'm standing I'm always gonna fight for us. I'm always gonna fight for my people and fight for what's right, and I think that's what music does and that's what storytelling does. So thank you so much. Thank you.

The Oscars decided to ban Zoom but this was an underwhelming reworking.
The show badly needs a main presenter, one who is a comedian. This one needed laughs. There was just a lack of fun with the reworking.
Some of the speeches from the presenters were overlong and dull. The In Memoriam segment rushed through the people who died in the previous 12 months but the introduction to it needed it to be shorter.
Also when you celebrate the work of the artists and the production crew. I would like to see an example of their work. I was not enthused with a factoid that a best supporting actor nominee once worked in a fast food outlet or such like.
Then there was the change of order. There was no need for the Best Picture to be given out so early.
The emotional moment of the evening was a damp squib. The Best Actor Oscar was held last in the expectation that the late Chadwick Boseman would be the winner. He did not win. Anthony Hopkins pipped him to the post and he was in bed in his homeland of Wales by that time.
