For reference: The Academy Awards in 2020 was at its lowest with a 5.3 rating. This year, the Academy had a 1.9 rating.
“And nothing of value was lost”
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh man. That made my night
And the Oscar for Biggest Oof goes to...
"Less, give it less viewers!"
hopefully this means the eternal era of the celebrity is finally over
Fun fact they had to forcefully evict the homeless out of union station by threatening to destroy their belongings if they didn't leave just so they could film/host this disaster
Oh my God, why am I not surprised.
Source
@@bipedofthecentury9956 "They came to us about a week ago saying that we had to move by Friday 6 p.m. because they were trying to clean up for the Oscars,” a homeless man identified a DJ told the station. “They told us if we didn’t move, they were gonna just demolish our stuff and [that] if you have warrants we’re gonna take you to jail"
That is one of many quotes I have found from an article from the NY post dated April 25, 2021 at 8:12 pm now this particular article talks about the homeless encampments around the station but others also talk about the same treatment of the homeless in the station it self which is only logical I mean if u have ever visited union station u would know homeless people always sleep in there
@@guardianoftheduat Thx for the source. Don't know why you take offense to textual criticism, you might be Insecure about people being objective.
@@bipedofthecentury9956 what are u even talking about?
As much as Hopkins deserves that win, the show changing up its format because they anticipated Boseman to win has got to be one of the absolute funniest things to happen in entertainment in a long time. What an absolute clusterfuck
Agreed, Hopkins deserved the win, and it is absolutely hilarious how the show changed its own format to try and avoid a landmine, only to set off more lmao
Apparently bosmans family was invited to?? Imagine all the build up thinking ur accepting a post-mortem award for your beloved relative, showing up to this thing and sitting through it with a bunch of actors, to get snubbed in ur seat
@@iroxursoxwithjello what movie was he in the year previous that would facilitate his Oscar?
@@creed8712 Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Wouldn't the academy know ahead of time that Boseman wasn't going to win though? I mean, they run the show, don't they?
If I remember right, didn't the Oscars invite Bosewick's family? God that's gotta be awkward since they waited all night only for it to go to Anthony Hopkins. 😬
@Winifred Eghrudje oh of course, no denying that. Just find it super awkward.
I'm glad that the truly best performance won.
In this age of lies it's a given that the good stuff it's going to get robbed.
@Winifred Eghrudje
I mean, sure the Oscar is just a piece of metal. But it's a multi-million-dollar ceremony where the attendees wear their best dresses, make-up and hair, many of which expecting to win something and go on stage to be showered with praise.
The feelings involved have bigger meaning for most than the piece of metal, I'm certain.
@Winifred Eghrudje SHINZOU WO SASAGEYEYO
@Winifred Eghrudje you can't be real
This year's Oscars had less than half of last year's viewership.
I didn't even realize we had the Oscars this year.
@@rainycloud10 I didn't even realize we had movies this year.
And their viewership was already declining
So you see… If you actually nominate movies that people actually watched and not have to do cringy monologues and segments, the Oscars would be a good show to watch.
Good
I'm honestly fine with having the winners speak for a few minutes extra. It's never made sense to me why the people winning awards, who are the reason this ceremony exists in the first place, get rushed off the stage after 45-60 seconds. I am much more interested in hearing from the guy who won for visual effects or the director of a foreign film than I am hearing five minutes of unfunny banter from the host that sounds like Jimmy Kimmel wrote it.
The movie award ceremony isn't for movie people, idiot. Its for cows who like late-night talk shows in the age of mass produced pander... legally you can't even call what they are jokes.
It’s because the oscars aren’t made to appreciate the art anymore, it’s effectively all one big advertisement now (what everyone’s wearing and what films you “should” watch according to the people who payed top dollar for their nominations). It’s all got the air of desperately trying to relate, but everybody here has been so disconnected from the mainstream populace for so long that it’s just comes off as incredibly pretentious and preachy while relating to absolutely nobody.
@@Robb1977 I didn't say it was "for movie people"; I said the award recipients are the reason the award ceremony exists and should be given more time to speak.
@@blaisetelfer8499 I wasn't claiming you did. Just that the event isn't for people interested in or making movies. I was being facetious in my comment.
@@Robb1977 True. Winners in the 70's and 80's were rushed off the stage so Billy Crystal could tap dance or some cringe shit
I tuned in for 30 minutes of this years oscars and immediately left and said “I’m waiting for the adum and pals.” It was so fucking awful
Why do you think Adum and Pals was so fucking awful? I liked it.
@@HOTD108_ he means the Oscars ceremony was awful, not the Adum & Pals.
And I agree, the Oscars ceremony was the worst Oscars ceremony I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t get past an hour of it personally.
@@HOTD108_ yeah I meant the oscars. This year the oscars were so fucking horrible the only way I could watch them is with adum and pals
30 minutes???
I would've left at 15 minutes mark. Kudos to you for lasting that long.
Immediately left but you stayed for 30 minutes?
These three boys might be funny, but let's not forget they didn't even show clips for best screenplay.
Maybe they're scared they'll be exposed as talentless hacks

Psh, closed captions exist. Those deafs will be fine
@@ctrouble2309 yeah but there's no closed captions live on stream lol. Sure deaf folk will live (I doubt anyone whose bank account is under seven digits would expect anything from it but a quick laugh) but its the inconsideration that's hella rude.

THEY CRANKED THE AUDIO UP
XD
@@Ramsey276one 🙄
Ironic, Anthony Hopkins wins an Oscar for playing a man forced to leave his home when the Academy kicks the homeless of LA out so they can give it to him. 👏
Woah what
And then Best Picture goes to a movie about houseless people
A lot of LA homeless people aren't sad charity cases. They're given quite a but and they often refuse shelter. They just go up to a public area and dominate it often making sidewalks unusable. Many are also violent towards passers-by. They ruin private businesses and public spaces.
Some homeless people are simply in an unfortunate situation, but those people tend to at least find a more discreet place to sleep, urinate and defecate. We've had to clean human feces and hypodermic needles from our private home property on several occasions.
@@terig8974 I think it’s very ignorant to say that houseless people refuse shelter and “ruin” public spaces. Where else are they supposed to camp out, private property? And in the case of the small group of people who are violent or similar, they’re the ones you notice because they’re the outliers. There’s multiple reasons why someone would refuse to live in a shelter, and ultimately if they do refuse it’s because they think it’s the worse option.
@Corbin I'm speaking from experience. Many of the people who takeover sidewalks have been offered shelter. I live very close to the homeless both in proximity and socioeconomically. Most homeless people aren't violent and aggressive, but having people live permanently on a public sidewalk that everyone needs to use, including the wheelchair bound is untenable. They don't have anymore right to takeover public property than anyone else does. They also create unsanitary conditions. We have a serious rat problem that requires a lot of work to try to improve.
It's ironic that you're calling me ignorant when I have quite a bit of experience on the topic. I was homeless myself for a short period of time. I have psychological issues that make it difficult for me to maintain work and relationships. I relate to a lot of homeless people. I've had friends and acquaintances who are/were homeless. The mentality that you and most people have about the homeless is the same mentality I had when I was still living with my parents. Homelessness if horrible. That doesn't mean that they should be aloud to claim whatever they want as their own.
Thomas Vinterberg: "My daughter was killed while we were filming this movie, I dedicate this Oscar to her"
Scoot: "He's still talking?"
I feel like the 420 award show is more well put together than whatever this is.
The 420 Awards was easily a far more entertaining watch.
They should get that magician from the first 420 awards to host the next Oscars
@@videogamenostalgia Jungle Josh?
I feel like some level of 420 was involved with the planning of this year's Oscars xD haha
I can’t wait for their adum and pals video on this years 420 awards. Adum better go to the actual show next year
This year’s Oscars somehow looks more cheaper and desolate than a current Walking Dead episode.
They even brought back Glenn too
TWD is not that bad
TWD is still on the air? Why?
@@Chickenbowser they're on the final season. the comic already ended
@@showtimevonparty283 thank god, they should've ended that show ages ago.
The Oscars always remind me of how disgusting Hollywood is.
What pisses me off is where the hell are the Documentary short films half the time, I can never find most of the winners and nominated films
@@thecinematicmind ikr! its a shame that some categories get sidelined for no reason.
It used to mean something for movies, filmmakers, actors and actresses and now it’s basically just Hollywood prom night. I’ll only watch the Oscars if Adam and the gang are doing a watch along stream for it. It gets me through all the cringe that these shows do every year.
i always liked the BAFTAs more, anyways.
There's a good reason why some actors like George C. Scott and Cliff Robertson pretty much refused to acknowledge them.
Seriously though, I was fuming that Wolfwalkers lost to Soul. Cartoon Saloon spent 8 years crafting that movie, and every single frame is a work of art. Easily the best animated movie of the year, and I'm so tired of Pixar just automatically winning because they're Pixar.
Hell, I've gotten sick of Pixar winning every year like it's still 1995. Soul wasn't even that good.
I mean it was visually stunning, but the story felt really generic to me. I loved Song of the Sea and The Secret of Kells but when I watched Wolfwalkers I was bored and disappointed.
@@catduck2112 speaking of Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea... I'm shocked that they lost to UP and Big Hero 6, respectively.
You comment got me interested in checking out Wolfwalkers and... I am so happy I did! It looks absolutely stunning! So thank you very much for the recommendation :')
@@KetsubanSoloUP first 30 mins or so it's understandable but Big Hero 6 absolutely not
The Oscars were shown in widescreen ratio to preserve the wishes of Zack Snyder’s creative vision
The joke works more from the fact that Zack Snyder did the complete opposite of that.
Joaquin Phoenix's actor speech just makes it even better, since he was so low-key and seemed 100% done with things, almost like he knew what was going to happen.
This takes me back to just how angry I felt on the night of this Oscars. I HATED that they tried to play favourites with Chadwick Boseman and it feels so calculated to capitalize on Marvel/Black Panther’s impact rather than properly honour his and others’ work. Them trying to avoid a Twitter uproar backfired far harder in the other direction. Don’t even get me started on the in memoriam either.
Imagine going to the Oscars and they gift you a USB with a shitty stolen digital 3D model of one of your dead friends
@@unblorbosyourshows9635 "don't worry, in 50 years, you can sell it for a fortune! Thanks Chadwick!"
@@unblorbosyourshows9635 wait what?
In hindsight with all the shit the academy tried to pull and did pull its kind of better they didn't give it to him even if it was technically the right thing to do. He put in the work for a long time just for them to not be shit
@@John_Notmylastname some idiot decided they should make an NFT for a memorial at the Oscar's. Its literally a stolen model of his head painted gold
“Oh yeah Chad’s about to win an Oscar”
*The academy sweating*
Kind of boggles my mind how shocked Adam is that Octopus Teacher won. For at least a week, all anyone talked about on Facebook was the movie where the dude who doesn't love his child harrasses an octopus until it dies.
Xx-raZ0r_pup-xX shut up
"You didn't even show clips for screenplay" - Adum XD
It took me way too long to realize that that was even a joke
@@jackbobb2014 it wasn't
AdamHaXD
@@jackbobb2014 do... do you genuinely think that was a joke? You do know that its screenplay... because it was written... and put on screen... like... as a movie... which is why its at the academy awards... right??
@@thefilmseeker because they didn't show clips for a really important category (which it is) but decided to dick around and waste time with questlove's silly goose game
why this year's oscar feels like a speed run lol
69 likes confirmed
XD
@@Ramsey276one
Also to answer why the Oscar's felt like a speed run was because of how almost nobody watches the show now.
What really is so disgusting, sad, and kinda unsurprising about the in memorial segment is that they included fucking Kim Ki-Duk but didn’t leave any room for Obayashi (director of Hausu) For those who don’t know Kim was a very respected art film director that made movies like 3-Iron. But yet he’s also… let’s just say, in my words the “Harvey Weinstein” of the Korean film industry or at least one of them. And yet he’s in here being memorialized in the Oscars probably because no one would know him, and Kim’s films have not been nominated for anything and he’s not that big of a name like Bong, Park, or even Lee Chang-dong. Just wanted to point that out because I absolutely lost it during that but yet no one seems to talk about it. I still respect his movies but Ki-Duk is a terrible person.
Well it's not pedowood for nothing.
I bet when someone asks you what your favorite movie is you bring up some obscure arthouse movie directed by some unknown what's-his-name. You try to go into an in depth explanation about it, but that person walked away like 10 minutes ago, then you go home and look at your mediocre follower count on letterboxd to revalidate your ego.
@@PancadaPls so basically you’ve described who me, YMS, and a bunch of other people are. You do realize you’re in a comment section from a TH-cam channel by someone who’s favorite movie is an “unknown art film by ‘what’s his face’?”.
@@PancadaPls You said nothing of relevance
@@PancadaPls are you projecting mate
Wow, this year's circlejerk was kinda weird.
*IT WAS WEIRDLY TRYING TO BE TOO FAST YET TOO SLOW!!*
My favorite story from the 2021 academy awards, was having a bunch of RICH snobs and child-touchers, destroy the tent city in front of the venue, and forcing a bunch of homeless to relocate.
@@geoffok "I know who I want to take me.... to Skid Row?"
Why do they even televise this anymore? Just stay in your million-dollar-mansions and do the Oscars in a private Zoom call.
That's a sad story, I guess in irony I can see it being your favorite
Also, for those curious, the reason why the ceremony was shot like this (and in 24fps instead of 30), this is because of Soderbergh being a producer and wanting to bring a more cinematic experience to an award show…wait, that doesn’t sound right.
yeah that doesn't sound right
It's because of COVID guidelines, they were able to bypass the mask mandate if it was presented as a movie set instead of live TV. very stupid
@@DalekBricks You have to be making a joke
@@CoratMcRed I wish lol, but that's literally why it was filmed so weird this year
@@DalekBricks Oh my god
It actually looks like Daniel Kaluuya's mom is saying "what the f#$%k did he just say!?"
You have to love the foreshadowing of constantly saying “oh there ending on Chadwick right… right?”
I can't believe they rearranged the awards to give the award to Chadwick Boseman, and then they DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HIM.
It is literally unimaginable for me to actually watch these awards vanilla, and I love when you guys do any award show because chemistry.
They totally talked over Harrison Ford’s speech shitting on Blade Runner
That's just par for the course for Ford
Haha what like his intentionally shitty voiceover? Or a snipe at all the directors cuts?
Wait Harrison Ford doesn’t like Blade Runner?
@@b1rdsh0t80
Wait he doesn't like Ridley Scott?!
@@b1rdsh0t80 It shouldn't be a surprise.
Legend says Adum is still pissed they didn't show clips for best screenplay.
The Oscars entertainment value is on par with a kindergarten graduation
Another commenter said it looks like a celebrity’s birthday party that was filmed at the Cheesecake Factory and if that isn’t the realest thing I’ve ever heard…
Don't insult kindergarten graduations like that
If the Oscars continue fucking up this much, eventually they will become more disorganized and unpredictable than Daddy Derek's 420 Awards
Damn I thought Daddy Derek was going to win something this year for Cool Cat fights corona virus.
You left out the best part; when they turned Chadwick Boseman's face into an NFT.
Adum: This was a weird year…
2022 Oscar’s: Hold my beer.
Anthony Hopkins winning was hilarious
this year's Oscar's is one of the worst award shows I've ever seen
That's why almost nobody has seen this year or next. Cause we know they don't care about the movies or which movies get the award.
This proves that nobody in Hollywood cant actually put a proper ceremony together without all the bells and whistles. COVID made this a bigger pandering moronic meme than it already is.
Yeah apparently they were relying on 100 years of past ceremonies.... talk about on the shoulders of greats.
I for one appreciate the default Microsoft movie maker effects. I think its an inspiration to anyone still making 2007 spanish projects everywhere.
This has been such a long time coming that the moment I saw the part where Nomadland won best picture again the disappointment I felt was fresh as if it had been the first time.
Was genuinely more interested in my haribo starmix than watching Nomadland, god it was so average and long. Not to mention the whole fake corporate cleanliness of the Amazon warehouse really put me off. First 20 mins almost felt like an Amazon advert.
How is proudly saying that the event is done maskless a good idea? Like was that a joke?
Oh you mean elitists are hypocrites? Who wouldda thought
They are the elite, they can go on without masks, we the peasents deserve no such thing though.
@@SammEater That's because we the peasants don't have a team of experts micromanaging our safety and setting up precautions prior everywhere we go. Also, when they weren't on camera, they were wearing masks, so if anything, the maskless claim was a lie. I'm all about the "fuck the elite" attitude, but there was no elite hypocrisy here. Plenty of that to go around (like fucking over the homeless) without using this as an example.
@@damkylan3 I don't know, the team of experts micromanaging everything only reinforces our point rather than yours. Sorry, let me pay 50k a year to some assistant so I can break all the rules and when someone calls me out on it, people will say "bro he paid an expert, it's all good".
No they are quite literally rubbing in your face that rules don't apply to them. But the moment you voice your displeasure they'll quickly call you anti science and anti vaxxer and domestic terrorists
Who's gonna win the Don Cheadle award?
Terrance Howard.
I can’t wait for the 420 awards to eclipse the Oscars in views
"A movie starts with a screenplay," she says, to a room full of movie industry people who spend their entire lives making movies.

Such a strange production value on the oscars this time, very 420 awards show-ish.
Thank God people are finally treating these awards ceremonies with the contempt they deserve. Hollywood is the one covid death we should all be happy about.
this is what i wait for instead of the actual oscars
It really felt like a fever dream version of the Oscars
"my mom and dad had sex"
- Oscar winner Danny K.
They were proud parents right up to that point.
Well the next video is gonna be eventful.
is this award show slowly devolving into 420 awards????? oh my god, derek savage’s wish will come true, 420 awards will be the 4th most popular award show in hollywood in las vegas
Waited almost as long for this then your Synecdoche, New York review.
I love how Daniel Kaluuya's family is cringing at what he said 😁
I don't even care for the Oscars but seeing the awkward cuts, inconsistent editing, and the way they handled the signing really got under my skin
11:36 There's NO WAY that wasn't edited, I refuse to believe that wasn't edited.
Director of Another Round pours his heart out about the tragic death of his teenage daughter right before he started filming...
ADUM &Pals: Wrap it up dammit! No one cares!! lol
The academy was watching the stream and was like “oh Gael is gonna lose?….. let’s just change this up.”
lmao i'm so stupid that this showed up in my recommended and waited all 27 minutes for them to react to the will smith drama
Adam shitting on the sign language lady is like Kayne getting mad at that guy at a concert for not standing up while he was in a wheelchair.
I love the intercuts with the streams while editing, it gives it another layer
That Ice-T Clip gay killed me 😂😂😂
I watched I am Thinking of Ending Things and it should of won, it made me cry and I related to having those feelings. I felt that ending so much, it did put some dread in me. After watching Adum's video I gave it a watch. Great movie :3
This feels impossible. He's too big to be gone.
8:50 wasn’t this short stolen from a small time director? She made the exact same short movie a few years earlier and they cut her out of it or some bullshit. The director made a tiktok about it a few months ago. She’s not credited anywhere in the new short.
This venue is HIDEOUS.
I watched this video when it came out, but it does not feel like it’s only been 2 months
I completely forgot that they did Oscars this year, I watched them live and I forgot about their existence almost instantly.
26:19 Biggest plot twist of the year.
So proud of Kesha for winning for 'Best Original Screenplay' for Promising Young Woman
God I can't wait for this year's Oscar video
How the oscars works: it’s not like “which 5 movies had the best editing of any movie that came out this year,” it’s more like “which 5 movies had the best editing of the 15 or so movies that had the biggest Oscar campaigns”
I laughed unreasonably hard at Scoot’s genuine anger at Geal not knowing that Tostitos chips come rounder and the MLG airbrhorns during the transition.
2021 award shows really had a "Let's get this over with" attitude.
All jokes aside, I find the current state of the Oscars sad. Millions of people watched them every year but now they're a joke with dwindling viewership. They brought it on themselves and I can only sit back and stare as they destroy themselves. At least I can commiserate with the spergs and edgelords watching YMS.
Starring Adumnmb, Reggie Queen, Johnathan Homework. It's time for the Oscar.
The amount of anger in this video is giving me life lol will we ever know why they didn’t show clips for screenplay
They didn't notice Vintenverg's speech was about his daughter that died lol
16:15
Phedon's facial expression when the winner for Cinematography is announced is amazing.
Oscars 2020 summed up, How embarrassing.
As to Adums knee question, the tap to test you reflexes.
Never forget that Saving Private Ryan lost best picture to Shakespeare in Love and Toni Collette was snubbed without even a nomination for Hereditary.
I always watch YMS videos before any other because I know if I don’t there’s like a 50/50 chance youtube will take it down before I get the chance to
~48 seconds in to this thing and an award is already being handed out.
This is the best awards show Hollywood has ever done.
Dude, THANK YOU SO MUCH for being a cool cat and working hard as shit to give people these golden banger videos!
Please take care!
I will watch an Oscar's roasting before the Oscars 8 days a week
I love when you guys review the 420 Awards... wait a min... Those were the Oscars?!?!? Oh no...
i loved that editing at the end where both of them were talking animals, really friggin cute
I'm gonna steal an idea from this and pitch it to Netflix, it's called 'the 'copter' a cop by day and doctor by night. He shoots a suspect and then saves his life after.
The joy i just received ive been waiting on this for so long time to rewatch it 30,000 times
I almost died when Adum freaked out about Da Butt.
Didn't knew the oscars just happened
What's with how this is filmed? I have never seen a live show that's filmed like a movie. It gives me uncanny valley vibes
Look forward to these videos every year. Infinitely more entertaining than any of the "films".
20:27 Every time I see this thumbnail I always think of Adam saying "Da Butt by Da Baby!"
"My Octopus Teacher"? Wasn't it called Ansatsu Kyoushitsu in the original?
my tako sensei
Watching Glenn Close do “the butt” is probably the single most cringe moment I’ve ever seen on Oscars night. And yes, it outdid the “Moonlight / La La Land” moment from 2 years ago.
See I don't consider the Moonlight/La La Land cringe, it's just prime hilariocity. Plus that was a GENUINE moment.
The Glenn Close thing is so obviously staged and so bad, it's fucking cringe.
All Academy Award shows always have and always will be nothing but vanity projects for the Hollywood elite. 7 out of 10 times, the movies that were actually good never win any of the important awards. I know all aspects of making a movie are important and should be rewarded and recognized. The problem is no one care if a movie won best costume or best editing. The only ones people, especially Hollywood producers and executives, care about are best picture, best director, best actor, and sometimes best screenplay. Being a winner is either based on how good you can kiss the asses of the judges, selecting the best clips since judges can't be bothered watching an entire movie (even though it's their fucking job), or which winner will make the Academy look good on social media.
Not having a host made the whole thing feel disjointed. I've heard that one of their reasons was they were paranoid about another potentially problematic person giving the Oscars a bad name. Someone ought to tell the people in charge that there are plenty of celebrities who aren't racist, sexist, homophobic pieces of shit who would make great hosts. But they get ignored because they're not as big as Neil Patrick Harris, Chris Rock, or Ellen DeGeneres. I know some people will argue that the Oscars don't matter because it's just a shiny hunk of metal that doesn't actually determine quality. The problem is executives and investors do care about those shiny hunks of metal; they determine which actors and directors are worth hiring for future projects. Hence why the "Oscars so white" controversy was such a big deal. Sure, some indie films win awards, but they're usually the "safe" ones that don't challenge anything and tell generic stories a group of teens on TH-cam could tell for free.
At this point, all academy award shows should just not exist. The people who won should get the trophies mailed to them, and the nominees should get letters explaining that they were nominated. The internet already keeps us up to date on the winners and nominees, and celebrities brag about their victories on social media. So there's really no need to have a whole ass 4-hour award show. Especially since no one watches it anymore.
TL;DR
just don't watch the awards shows, who even cares 😂😂 all this effort in expressing an opinion that means less than nothing to these "Hollywood elites" literally who cares
Kicked out people having COVID-19 testing to give awards out.
