"As you will all be aware, the Oscars aren't particularly fun. They are an overlong celebration of underwatched films that take place in a room where, by the end of the evening, the bulk of those present have been told that they aren't good enough to win anything. The whole thing is excruciating. But you know what's much better than the Oscars? The annual Oscars nominees luncheon."
"However, this year it is because Guillermo del Toro nominated for Frankenstein has decided to act like a wacky usher at a wedding. Look at everyone else in the photo and you will see hundreds of people who aren't sure what to do with their hands. Not del Toro, though, because he has opted to maniacally waggle them around like a 1920s showgirl. It gives the effect that this is del Toro's party and everyone else is just a guest."
The Oscars are described as an overlong celebration of underwatched films held in a room where many attendees discover they did not win, creating an excruciating atmosphere. The Oscars nominees luncheon is presented as a preferable alternative because it is untelevised, involves no awards, treats nominees equally, and ends with a class photo. The class photo serves as a snapshot of prominent figures and often captures awkward, unposed moments. In 2026, Guillermo del Toro dominated the front row with exuberant, maniacal hand-wagging, while Oliver Laxe stood out in the back row for his exceptional height.
