I tried to watch the Oscars this year. I really did. I made it twenty minutes before I hit the record button on my dvr. I'm sorry. As much as I like movies I just could not care less who wins the award for best documentary short subject, foreign language film, sound editing or a long list of others. I don't want to hear people I have never heard of thank everyone and their brother for their award.
From what I did see I thought Anne Hathaway and James Franco did an okay job as host at best. Not sure how they came up with the idea of those two as hosts. Guess Billy Crystal was busy. Maybe not he was there as a presenter.
Let's do away with most of the "entertainment" on the show. I don't need/want to hear Randy Newman sing. Do not need to see the red headed lady sing in what seemed like another language besides English. I do enjoy the opening montage where they place the hosts in each of the nominated movies.
My friend Ted is the only person I know that watches the whole show start to finish and I always look forward to his synopsis. If he will email it to me I'll put it up here.
Surprised to see most all of my picks won this year. I am not usually able to pick the winners. I thought this was the best group of nominees in many years!
