Final verdict? Some great moments, some questionable fashion choices, and a whole lot of Wicked love (which we fully support). Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some post-Oscars beauty sleep to catch up on.

Two Color Purple legends—Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey—honoring Quincy Jones? Now that is iconic. So much talent, so much history, all in one moment.

Also, every year, I’m shocked by some of the names on the list. Wait, THEY passed? It always hits harder than expected. A reminder to appreciate the greats while they’re here (and demand extra treats while I’m still here, obviously).

The Mama is over here grumbling that the In Memoriam segment didn’t take up the whole screen—something about not being able to read the names. Maybe, just maybe, if she finally had that eye surgery she’s been putting off, she wouldn’t have this problem. Just a thought.

As for having them tell Conan’s jokes… well, their delivery was solid, but let’s be honest, even the best performers can’t save weak material. Maybe next time, just let them enjoy their moment without the dad jokes?

Now that was a standing ovation well deserved! Huge respect to the fire services that battled the LA wildfires—true heroes. Even a cat like me, who prefers to stay far away from water, knows the importance of their work.

Now, if they could just build a production set worthy of me, we’d really be in business. Maybe a grand emerald throne? A chandelier for dramatic entrances? I’m just saying, Wicked looks spectacular, but Purr’s Training Acatemy: The Movie would be legendary.

Another win for Wicked! If you can’t tell by now, we really like Wicked around here. It’s The Mama’s favorite musical, which means we definitely need to see the movie. I hear it’s full of magic, drama, and impeccable set design—basically, my everyday life.

Opal. Just Opal. The name’s Bond-worthy, don’t you think?

They honored James Bond tonight, and at first, I thought, Should I be the next Bond girl? I mean, with my striking good looks and effortless charm, I could totally pull it off. But let’s be real—there’s so much more to me than just being eye candy.

History was made tonight! The first Black man to win an Oscar for Costume Design—and it’s for Wicked! Now that’s something worth celebrating. Those costumes were absolutely stunning, and let’s be honest, if I were in Wicked, I’d demand the most fabulous, dramatic outfit possible.

Now, if Hollywood wants a real blockbuster, they should consider Purr’s Training Acatemy: The Movie. Just saying.

I have absolutely no idea what Flow is about… but it has a cat, so obviously, it deserved to win. The Academy finally got something right! A movie featuring feline excellence? Cinema.

Also, I liked the reminder that no matter what—wildfires, politics, chaos—movies will continue. Just like no matter what’s happening in this house, I will continue… demanding snacks.

John Lithgow’s bit? Now that had some charm. Adam Sandler in gym shorts? Bold choice. Not exactly red carpet chic, but I respect the commitment to comfort.
But let’s talk about Dune guy playing Chopsticks. Yikes. That was not it. If I walked across a piano, I’d sound better.
#OpalAtTheOscars
Conan O’Brien? Ehhhh. I’ve knocked more interesting things off the counter. His jokes didn’t all land, but I did appreciate him recognizing the non-famous folks who make movies happen.
#OpalAtTheOscars #FelineFilmCritic #SomeJokesFlop
Also, shoutout to Ariana Grande—Wicked witches STAY winning tonight! They both absolutely crushed that opening. I don’t usually approve of humans making loud noises, but I’ll allow it this time.
Now, let’s see if this show can keep up with such an iconic start…

Mad respect for Cynthia Erivo. WOW. That entrance? That voice? That presence? Absolute queen behavior. If I had opposable thumbs, I’d give her a standing ovation.
