    Back in the day .... when Nicolas Cage was married to Patricia Arquette. Brad Pitt was dating Gwyneth Paltrow. Tom Cruise was married to Nicole Kidman. Susan Sarandon together with her partner Tim Robinson. Emma Thompson was still married to Kenneth Branagh. Mira Sorvino dating Quentin Tarantino. Dude, did I miss anything out?

The couples attending together, Brad Pitt & Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise, Susan Sarandon & Tim Robbins, how many people still remember they were once together? Mel Gibson and Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson seemed so young. Oprah doing red carpet interview? And seeing Jackie Chan is definitely a pleasant surprise!

OBVIOUSLY she was going to compliment Tom after but Tom just ran off. He must have been an awful child to raise and a terrible boyfriend. You can see it on other red carpets with Nicole. She is hiding her glow, her joy, her spark, her star power because he cannot deal with it.

    I need to go back in 1990s. This brings soooooo many great and peaceful memories from from that era. Nowadays, with social media, I feel like I'm on a war front everyday. I used to laugh at my parents, reminiscing about the 70s and called them daydreamers. Now I understand their feelings. I would do anything to get back in the 90s. Best decade in my books.

    Whoopi is awesome! No one can be better than that! Oscars should be more political,more critical than the usually shit we see

    1:23 They call Laura Dern “Oscar winner”, but she didn’t win until 2020. How did they know?

    Which is funny because the show wasn't all that well-received after it first aired. I thought Whoopi was great as a host and the show, while really long was very good.
