pukkuEveryone seems to be talking about how bad the Oscars were. I'm a bit confused, because I'm not sure that I saw the right show -- I actually liked them.
Yes, the humor was sometimes crass -- have they seen any recent Hollywood movies? (Actually, I haven't, but I have seen a lot of the promos...) I thought that Seth MacFarlane was fairly good. I laughed out loud several times.
And, for the first time that I can remember, it seemed like the presenters actually got their scripts in advance. It has always bugged me that the Academy Awards, put on by Hollywood, always seems to have the most stilted and unbelievable interactions between the presenters. These are supposed to be some of the most famous (and, implicitly at least, best) actors of our time, but they can't even manage one minute of conversation in a natural way?!
This year, the presenters actually seemed like they were interacting!
