It's easy to imagine they've reached the point where they dread having to put that long piece together, and having to get big names for it. > 2.

He would be indeed be competent, and that's probably the best they can do. One thing that struck me reading the criticism of the Awards is that there are two or three different shows going on at the same time. There are the awards, which is mostly of interest to people in the room. There's the designed-for-television entertainment show, which fills all the time between awards. And there's the celebrity watching, which is most evident in all the red carpet coverage. It's all intertwined to produce an annual program that gets big ratings, but people who want to see the host tell jokes don't necessarily care about achievements in cinematography or who Charlize Theron is wearing. Maybe a competent host who can amuse (as opposed to break up) the entire audience b sufficient, even if he or she won't bring in extra viewers.. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
