The most interesting thing to me was his face and why anyone would go through surgery to look like that. I was totally bored and found nothing funny. Though I must admit, I liked the Jennifer Lopez dress. I left the room and came back to see the circus act which was spectacular. Too bad it had nothing to do with the oscars. Give me the TCM channel movies anytime. CJL In a message dated 2/27/2012 9:33:09 A.M.

If you like Night of the living Dead or any of the multitude of Zombie movies that followed, I think you would love Walking Dead!

Even Billy Crystal seemed bored with the gig. Frankly, it has never been a particularly good show, but this was one of the least entertaining IMHO.

And was I the only one who kept wondering if he might have looked and performed better if he hadn't had his very obvious plastic surgery? And isn't it a bad sign when the best segment was the circus art, which has zero to do with movies. It hit me when they did the "In Memorium" segment, and there were tons of behind the scenes people no one knows, with a few famous faces thrown in. They have successfully turned the Oscars into the Golden Globes, filled with insiders and inside jokes, where they pretty much ignore the viewing public, and give the awards to the movies THEY like. the kind that the critics fawn over, but which not many people actually see. Of course, this transformation has been going on for many years, but at least they used to pretend to care about the people who make it all possible, those who buy the tickets. And in a day when movies face more and more competition from all sorts of other kinds of entertainment, it may not be just the awards ceremony that sees its number of viewers continuing to fall in coming years. This was once must-viewing for me. and I have watched it every year, but I think I will skip it next year. Bruce -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 24 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
