Joel Keller of TV Squad pretty much sums up my opinion of last night’s Oscar show. I watched most of it, against my better judgement and even though this year I had no Oscar party to attend. And I thought Stewart was actually very good. I agree completely with one of the commentators at that link, gd, who writes:
The biggest problem with the Oscars is they spend too much time reminding everyone how special they are, then don’t give the people who win awards enough time to have their moment to shine.
Honestly, except for the yearly “In Memorium” (which I really enjoy and is a touching tribute to those in Hollywood who’ve recently passed away), they really need to do away with the clip montages.
