Shaking Backstage

[Blind Gossip] This performer was incredibly nervous before her presentation at The Academy Awards last night.

She was literally shaking backstage. I felt a little bad for her. She made it through, though. The funniest thing was, while she was presenting, [Actress] was next to me, listening to her, and she kept saying, “She sounds so familiar! Who does she sound like? Who does she sound like?”

Someone nearby finally came up with the answer.

Someone else said, “Miley Cyrus?” and [The Actress] was like, “Yes! Thank you!”

We can assure you that the Presenter looks nothing like Miley Cyrus.

    Awkwafina for the presenter. No idea on the actress, but what is the connection to the similar blind?? Yikes.

    Favorite part: seeing Brian May onstage. Roger Taylor as well.

    Brie Larson? She seemed giggly and nervous, though she didn’t sound like anything in particular to me. Can’t think of who the young presenters were.

    I didn’t even watch & I know it’s Awkwafina. I noticed the speech/voice similarities to MC when Awkwafina was on SNL.

    Kacey Musgraves?

    Not sure of the actress.

    Optional: Greenbook winning. Mostly because it upset a few people that I know and it makes me laugh. Not every film needs to be a big political movement!

    Not sure who the actress is but the Presenter is probably Awkwafina. She was fabulous and funny! Great timing and she did sound like Miley!
    The Gaga/Bradley duet was legendary!

    Awkwafina! I’ve been saying she reminds me of Miley since she hosted SNL! I’m not the only one!

    Presenter: Kacey Musgrave

    Actress: I forgot who went up after her. Maybe Barbra.

    I only watched because my friend’s dad its remodelling my bathrooms and her mom sat down to watch it so I did too.

    Awkwafina? She looked awkward, especially when they crossed to Spike Lee. He was like WTF?

    Actress: Julia Roberts? Although she was at the end.

    my favourite part was Olivia Coleman’s speech. She was touching and really hilarious! Genuinely funny and nice person.

    Awkwafina! Not sure who the actress is, maybe Emma Stone?

    I actually enjoyed the no hosts thing. It was really cool to see previews for each Best Picture-nominated film as I don’t always watch them. Also loved Spike Lee’s speech.

    Awkwafina

    I noticed that the first time I heard her speak (SNL appearance).

    Favourite part was definitely Olivia Coleman’s speech. She’s great.
