You can try the roast thing and succeed... God knows I'm not a Ricky Gervais guy, (his brand of comedy can become broey and insufferable under the guise of subversiveness if not balanced right), but he used to do it right with the Globes, with the right amount of timely contemporary jokes and some of the more timeless variety as well... Mulaney has the right approach here because these are lifetime achievements awards, so you know who the honorees are, there's no suspense and they have earned it and you have to, well, honor them... But Oscars, GG, any competition-based awards ceremony, is necessarily about hopes and expectations and thus, vanity and disappointment and image, so you can afford to be in roast mode to punish that, there is a sort of privilege of the court's fool that has to be displayed somehow... That roasting job can be done more or less savagely depending on the host, and I agree that it needs to be balanced out by some self-deprecation (the best usually are) but it is by nature relevant to the occasion...

Meanwhile he's also been in movies and had TV shows and released Netflix specials. He was pissed when the American Office did better than the British version. He wanted that acclaim for himself. But when he does these awards shows, he acts like he's some ragtag revolutionary or something. Give me a break. Yes, awards shows can seem frivolous and self-congratulatory.

He's fascinated by Direction, how cinematography and audio add to the storytelling, the value of great writing and dialogue, among other aspects of films. When you love or genuinely like someone ~ or when even a STRANGER speaks passionately about subjects they love...the emotion is INFECTIOUS and you WANT to listen to them TALK.

Kevin Costner’s character was in the kitchen with a sharp object - that finally he did himself in with - about to cut the turkey. And he was going to cut this perfect turkey. It was poetical, and metaphorical. He’s about to cut this perfect turkey, and we were all there kind of having a good time, and I think Glenn Close’s character says, ‘Hey Alex. We need you in here.’ And he’s there, and he can’t bring himself to cut the turkey. It’s whole, and it’s kind of perfect. And he doesn’t want to do it.” As Goldblum suggested, it was a clever bit of reverse foreshadowing, as well as multidimensional character-building when it came to Alex, who ultimately we’re only told about by his friends. “Then we saw the movie, and for one reason or another, they decided not to use it,” Goldblum said. “But [Costner] was wonderful.” Jeff Goldblum

This was a great audition for the main show. Make it happen Academy.

That Al Pacino joke aged perfectly, fuck I love this monologue 🤣

YAYY! Now THAT’S an opening speech! Loved the Rami Malek joke!

9:11 Rdj’s reaction😂

That was a well done monologue. Good humor, relevant, with respect for the attendees. John looks good and healthy, too. Happy to see that.

John reading what Al Pacino said reminded me of John's interview view he didn't remember doing with GQ.

This guy is a genius. I can't put my finger on what makes him so funny, he makes it look so easy. Brilliant

he's smart. super smart. His dad's a super successful M&A lawyer. That will help.

I don't think his dad being a successful lawyer is the sole reason for him being smart and funny...

He’s very intelligent himself- he went to Georgetown. His mother is super intelligent as well, so he likely was born to it

He spent years honing his craft, developing his style, working as a writer on SNL and performing. His biggest selling point (imo) is his timing and delivery.

That's a tough f**ing room lol. And he still did great, despite not even trying hard. They should get him to host the Oscars, unfortunately he's probably too smart to shoot himself in the foot like that.

it wasn't that funny

His Maestro conducting prep joke was perfection. And completely true.

That's how you monologue. Mulaney should have a run at awards hosting, please for the love of god. Give him the Oscars for a few years at least.

He's one of the realest credit givers, I'm loving this.

After the Globes disastrous host, this is a true redemption in hosting. Let the actual insider people do it. They get the job done!

That Al Pacino story seems like a prophecy for his 2024 Oscar experience awarding the best picture 🤭

John Mulaney has never been speechless once in his entire life.

Angella basset's reaction was so sweet

That Al Pacino joke foreshadowed the WTF moment of him blurting out the Best Picture winner tonight 🙃

I like so much how he made it about film and the work of it, appreciating it, not just putting a show like all the awards have started to become

I don’t know what this is for or why or anything but I will watch everything John has said on camera without hesitation. Always funny.

Who gave John a chin and jawline? That tall child looks terrific!

The “Bye, Felicia” joke is brilliant!

@@hkaayaakuu "Bye, Felicia" is a line from the comedy movie Friday, with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. In Bradley Cooper's film "Maestro", he plays the composer Leonard Bernstein, and the film depicts him as constantly cheating on his wife Felicia with a series of male lovers. So Mulaney's joke is both comparing Cooper's sensitive, serious drama to this lighthearted comedy, and also joking that "Bye, Felicia" was essentially Leonard Bernstein's attitude to his marriage.

@@MacIntoshMann Thank you, I was wondering.

John Mulaney proving now more than ever that, yes, comedians are very much capable of hosting awards shows with dignity and professionalism while making everyone laugh. Well done John. Hope you get the Oscars next.

"That's like getting a Pulitzer prize for a Reddit comment."😂😂 hardest I've laughed all week.

It's so wonderful to see John back in his element. I'm so proud.

That Al Pacino bit sounded like Mulaney's interview 😂

So well done. I really hope John sticks with his sobriety. He’s so good.

So happy to see John doing well. Please cast him somebody.
