Bah. Oscar show was not great.

[javasaurus]

Where 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!

i was watching "National Parks", and kept up with the awards by refreshing the wikipedia page on them every 5-10 minutes.

Supposedly they were recapping the Best Picture Movies throughout the broadcast.

Yes, they gave a little info on each movie throughout, but they should still list them immediately before opening the envelope.
