oscar sense

well, although some of my actual predictions did not come true, at least all of the winners were in one of my two categories. just goes to show that perhaps either the oscars have become far too predictable or perhaps that we just aren't putting out enough outstanding film work.
either way, was i the only one who was boggled by the physical oddness of this year's presentation? i mean really. for some awards people had to accept them virtually at their seats, and others, they herded all the nominees up on stage together like cattle, also meaning that you the loser had to be standing right next to you the winner when the envelope was opened.
it seems a strange method, and i realize it was done in an effort to tighten up the show, bring the timespan back to something manageable, but couldn't we do something else...?
like say maybe...have clips of the songs instead of a whole performance?
tell me that wasn't the most boring part of the show and i won't believe you.
get to the awards, darn it!
they don't show the whole of each film that's up for best picture....
this seems like simple logical reasoning to me.
and the friends i watched with last night firmly agree.

anyway, i hope you all had as much fun last night as i did.
watch for me next year.
