What a terrible show. I know I should stop but I can't. The majority of the show was done at Union Station in downtown LA I guess to give them some room to spread out, but the whole set looked kind of cheap. And the set was confusing for the people coming up to accept their award. Most of them stepped over the side wall of the circular ramp get up onto the stage rather than use the step or the ramp itself. The stepping over the sidewall made people's entrance look really clumsy, especially for some of the older actors and actresses.
They cut out all the production numbers and did away with the majority of the clips. Instead, they had the presenters talk about each nominees with some personal anecdote. A lot of those anecdotes were cringe worthy. Then they didn't set a time limit on the speeches so the oscar winners got to talk as long as they wanted. And they did. I can already guess what Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and the rest of the Fox Clowns are going to say about those woke pronouncements.
From Tyler Perry's speech after winning his Jean Hersholt award, I can see how he made himself a billion dollars. It was good to see Harrison Ford get some Blade Runner resentment off his chest. I love the Korean woman who won for Minari. She just wanted to talk about Brad Pitt and seemed kind of out it and she was ready to talk to the audience for the rest of the night. Amanda Seyfried had the best gown and by best I mean it hid nothing.
They also did a weird thing sequence wise. For whatever reason, they didn't end the show with Best Picture like the Oscars have done since I knew there was an Oscars. They were announcing Best Picture (Nomadland) when The Queen mentioned she couldn't remember who won for Best Actor. I couldn't either. She looked it up. Since I had recorded the show to fast forward through the commercials, we were behind the actual telecast. Turns out, they hadn't announced Best Actor or Actress yet. They had changed the order so those two announcements would be the last of the night. Very odd. Anti-climactic.
Despite the long speeches and long award introductions, the show only last 3 hours 18 which is probably a record. It was bad but at least there wasn't a lot of it.
Will I watch it again next year? Of course. I still feel hope when I see these filmmakers win and they talk about what they went through to be there.
Maybe some day....

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
