Bah. Oscar show was not great.
Mar. 8th, 2010 11:50 amWhere was the humor? They tried, but blah. And the MCs only appeared about once per half hour?
What was with the announcer of the cinematography award? Not well-coordinated with the camera crew, eh? Give me a close up! Now a medium range shot. Wide view with audience! Blah!
The dancers during the "Best Score" medley were good, but they didn't seem to be dancing to the music I was hearing.
I liked that some award winners used their thank you speeches to give a message, not simply thank 23 people I've never heard of.
The personal messages for the best actor/actress categories didn't impress -- I'd rather have seen more footage of the actors doing their thing.
And the best picture award was given without a recap of which movies were nominated.
Next year I'll just read the list on Monday morning.
EDIT to add: And they left Farrah Fawcett and Bea Arthur out of the tribute!
