00:00There were first-time awards that we'd never seen being given.
00:03Just talk us through the big winner.
00:05It does seem to be one battle after another.
00:08Well, I think, yeah, for sure the big winner is Warner Brothers.
00:11They went into this with two favorites,
00:14and they came out with the most trophies, for sure, of any studio.
00:18I think, in general, too, the big winner is Hollywood.
00:21I mean, as you set up there, I mean, there's so much angst in Hollywood right now
00:26with mergers and AI and job losses.
00:29Right.
00:29And this was a show that really celebrated the best of filmmaking.
00:33It didn't go too much in a political direction, I think,
00:36even though I can't imagine one battle after another is on President Trump's viewing list.
00:41But it could have been much worse for Hollywood,
00:45and I think it actually made them look pretty good.
00:48AI came up in the form of Conan O'Brien's opening monologue,
00:53along with some other jokes about those in attendance.
00:55But the AI thing was present, at least on the stream.
00:59I was watching.
01:01Yeah, you know, as you mentioned, it came up, you know,
01:05Conan joked that he was going to be the last human host of the awards.
01:10But, again, the winners here,
01:14Paul Thomas Anderson for One Battle,
01:17Ryan Coogler for Sinners.
01:18These guys are real auteurs.
01:21They are people who tell unique stories,
01:24and they were big studio movies as well.
01:27So this was really a celebration of classic Hollywood,
01:30not a look forward with dread.
01:32We're going to be ahead.
01:33.
