What I LIKED about it this year was the emphasis on the love of movies. From
the art deco movie theater backdrop to the interviews with stars about their
first movie experiences and what movies mean to them, the show seemed to want
to appeal to movie buffs, not just ticket buyers, and there is
I found it to be one of the most boring I can remember. Even Billy Crystal
seemed bored with the gig.
Frankly, it has never been a particularly good show, but this was one of the
least entertaining IMHO.

Except that, unless countless other sources are wrong, including the NYT
obituary, they actually misspelled Marion Dougherty's name.
Anyway, I thought the show was good. Far better than last year, at the very
least.

I say why watch the Oscars when Walking Dead was on at the same time on
AMC! Its a fun series and worth the watch! If you like Night of the
living Dead or any of the multitude of Zombie movies that followed, I think
you would love Walking Dead! Jim

Sorry to disagree, Bruce, but several of us thought that, though it wasn't the
greatest, that last night's Oscar presentation at LEAST paid attention to the
professionals, living and passed on, who make up the world of movies...unlike

Jim is right on target
I watched the opening with Billy because I was at my sister-in-law's house
and she wanted to see the opening. The most interesting thing to me was
his face and why anyone would go through surgery to look like that. I was
totally bored and found nothing funny.
Here we go again. Another round of Oscar-bashers! A much improved show.
1000% better than last year. Restored
some organization to the proceedings, and I found Billy Crystal entertaining.
Of course, the Academy voted for who THEY like;
that's what they've always done. That's what we want
