I usually don't really get into the Oscars, but I have to say that last night's Oscar telecast was AWESOME...sort of.
What I loved:
The Hosts. Mr.s Martin and Baldwin did a great job. Not so over the top, yet well thought out and lots of humor.
The fashion. For the most part, I thought the fashions of the evening were FAB with a few exceptions...but loved what most of the ladies were wearing.
The speeches. That is right, the speeches. I thought that the speeches, for the most part, were FAB with few exceptions...
The feel. I read an article this morning talking about how there was a general feel of "family" at the ceremony last night, and I completely concur, and loved it.
Things I didn't love so much include:
The dance routine...I mean seriously, YUCK. Thank lord for modern day telly enabling me to fast-forward over those 45 minutes.
The winners. PA-LEASE.
The In Memorandum. This is usually my favorite part of any awards show (um...am I demented?), but the gross exclusions including Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Bea Arther were poor, and that is putting it mildly. I realize that the Oscars are for film, and these three were primarily involved in television, but as members of the entertainment community, I think they got snubbed.
Did I mention the winners? PA-LEASE.
