I'm not a fan of the Oscar broadcast. I like knowing who won, in
real-time, but don't like having to watch.
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.
