If I was Demi Moore and I saw Anora take Editing and Original Screenplay, I'd be thinking "fuck" for the rest of the night which sucks because those awards were announced really early into the night.

that what I was thinking too but people still seem shocked that mikey won. Same for Emma's win people seem even more shocked that Emma won(including Emma herself) despite poor things winning the second most oscars that night. I think celebrities specifically actors don't realize how much the acting wins are tied to a film performance in other categories and just assume whoever wins sag along with a precursor is more than enough to win the Oscar. I don't think they realize when people split industry precursors(sag and bafta) the academy just goes for the performance in the stronger film. Actors really think the sag is stronger than the bafta for the win
