Re: Oscar Ceremony
It was very much average. The good parts were good, sometimes terrific; the bad parts were bad, sometimes unbearable. I mean, it doesn't feel like there's any point in complaining. This year, the Oscars Oscar'ed, which is what they do more often than not. danfrank made a great comment a few days ago...
