hard no.  i watched the brier final instead.

& wasn't there a hockey game or something? lol 
If not Toronto, maybe Ottawa was playing? Hockey fans tend to record the Oscars to watch later. 
(Hockey first, Oscars second, lol)

Does that save time? We got to see some quick clips with no audio, (outside of music) but mostly pictures, so I can only guess so. Too bad though, because (On my opinion) I like to think it's nice to hear their voices. 

They left out Cindy Williams. 😔

Zero interest. Even The Briar would be less boring than Accademy Awards.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Re: Oscar Night....Does Anybody Care?

This kind of complaint happens every year. To try and forestall it this time around, they ran a graphic after the In Memoriam presentation saying 'to see others we lost this year' and then listed a website. Judging by the reaction here and elsewhere, it obviously didn't work!

Although having visited the site, I can say if they did go through all the names, the show would likely still be on the air!

Big names like Gilbert or Cindy would have some room if they were to drop one of the music acts.
but you're right. other names would still drag it on and on. 
It's just...in my mind Gilbert and Cindy are too big to be left out.

Re: Oscar Night....Does Anybody Care?

Just curious. Which movie won Best Picture? Guaranteed I have not seen it or heard of it.Also guaranteed. I have not seen or heard of any of the other best picture nominees.

Re: Oscar Night....Does Anybody Care?

I watched the first hour or so.

Not really funny.
The real moments (winners) were awesome.
The first 2 musical performances were embarrassing.   The third was entertaining, but no better than what you would see at a Casino or on a cruiseship.

Then I stopped watching.

Re: Oscar Night....Does Anybody Care?

I watched the season finale of " The Last of Us " , then hit the sack. I knew there would be ad nauseum coverage everywhere this morning.
