carson was great, billy crystal had his years, even ellen degeneres
was a good MC and her comedic delivery made jokes funny... jon
stewart was absolutely the wrong choice.

I’m not a fan of the Oscar broadcast. I like knowing who won, in

I used to receive tickets to the Oscars, and attended from the
early 80’s to the early 90’s, but even then I didn’t watch. I’d
spend most of the night in the bar area downstairs in the Dorothy
Chandler or less comfortably in the lobby areas of the Shrine
chatting with winners and nominees who didn’t return to their
seats after their category. We’d watch it on TV and tell
stories. It was great fun.
Anyway, the broadcast is difficult for me to watch. In the days
when Johnny Carson was hosting it wasn’t so bad because he would
almost always do something to entertain the crowd during the
commercial breaks. That was worth staying in your seat for.

I personally thought the entire Academy Awards show was DEAD!
If it wasn't for those snippets of past Oscar ceremonies, I would
have fallen asleep.
It definately lacked the "pizzazz" of past years.
My 2 cents.
