Tim Cook Reportedly Attending the Oscars on Sunday

[MacRumors]

Apple CEO Tim Cook will attend the 94th Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday as Apple TV+ is nominated for several Oscar awards, according to the former editor of The Hollywood Reporter and founding partner of Puck, Matthew Belloni.

Cook's attendance at the event is due the fact that Apple is nominated for a total of six Oscar awards. The six nominations include best picture for the film "CODA," best actor for Denzel Washington in "The Tragedy of Macbeth," best supporting actor for Troy Kotsur in "CODA," and others. Cook's attendance on Sunday will mark his first time attending an Oscar award ceremony, although the CEO did attend the Golden Globes in 2020.

Apple received its first-ever Oscar nominations in 2021 for Tom Hanks' "Greyhound" film which Apple reportedly paid $70 million to exclusively stream on the platform. This week Cook visited with the cast of the Apple TV+ film "CODA," which tells the story of 17-year-old Ruby, the only hearing member of the family.

Denzel Washington is a good actor but Tragedy of Macbeth really sucked. I can't stand the Shakespeare baloney.

CODA is good.

Is he going to win the Oscar for his well-played role in Apple events?

Apple TV shows are impossible to watch for more than 5 minutes. They should stick to hardware and software. Ooof

Many of their shows are great.

That’s true of 90% of the things on any network/channel. Apple TV+ has some great content to me, including CODA. And I’m really getting into “Severance,” that’s my kind of show!

 

[citysnaps]

No doubt in my mind CODA will pick up at least one award. Hat-tip to TC for shepherding Apple TV and its content.

Apple just came with the money....there are real actors and real directors behind every show...
And some are very original and great

I haven't seen any of the Best Picture movies this year, and I feel so out of the loop when it comes to the Oscars. I won't watch the Awards ceremony, but did anyone see any of the best pictures and what is your honest opinion on them? I think if this show wanted some ratings, Spiderman: No Way Home should have gotten a Best Picture nomination. Maybe I will see what the eventual best picture is, but this is really the first time I go into an Oscar year really ignorant of all the movies.

Tim Cook is smart to get in and have that experience while he can. The Oscars ceremony is a dying animal.

Severance is great. It’s a completely different show than I thought it was going to be after the first episode.

The highlight clip will be the parts where he says, "I couldn't be more excited.." and "We think you're gonna love it."

iJustine gets a lifetime achievement award.

 

[roland.g]

He'll fit right in.

 

[JosephAW]

Sorry I can’t make it, I have previous commitment.

Why not acquire a game development company and produce some new arcade games?

I hope we get another Golden Globe moment. The look on Timmy's face, knowing he was about to get dragged, was such a joy to watch.

Apple TV+ is better than Netflix at the moment

 

[velocityg4]

I haven't seen or heard of Puck. Rather than look it up. I'll just hope it is a series or movie starring Matt LeBlanc. Based off Pucks! from the series Episodes. Because that would be epically awful.
