• 9:51He and Ray co-hosted a live Oscars party at the Cinema Arts Center in Huntington, Long Island, providing banter during commercial breaks.
• 10:23Long Island audiences mostly watch action movies like The Rock films rather than independent cinema, with explosions being the main draw.
• 11:05A local realtor at the event pitched the cinema as a community asset to help sell houses, claiming it's about more than just listing properties.
• 11:44The realtor was essentially selling the idea that homeowners could sneak away to watch art films like Call Me By Your Name during the workday.
• 12:14The Oscars party crowd was enthusiastic and raucous rather than the restrained film appreciation you'd find in New York City.
• 12:56An elderly woman who gets drunk at these events every year and annoys people was seated with Tim and Ray by organizers as a solution.
• 13:46Timothy Chalamet's performance in the film was objectively bad, though the audience went wild for him.
• 14:06Young people in this country are treated as heroes simply for existing, even when they lack genuine talent or accomplishment.
