The Oscars

1. Hosts are funny! Without a host the oscars get boring and pointless mainly because of my next point 2. Stop making it political. No one wants to hear your complaint about the president. They wanna hear you thank everyone who got you this award. Stop talking about climate change and start thanking the writers, directors, producers and the fans!

Another thing is to everyone. The nominations are always fair. Just because there was no woman director nominated doesn't mean they are sexist. The nominees for best director were amazing, and it was probably really close. All the directors are some of the greatest of all time. Yes, Little Women was good, and Greta definitely did a good job, but the academy is the most PC group of people. They aren't discriminating.

This year was good. Opening performance and opening monologue were good. As long as Joaquin Phoenix won best actor it would've been a good show, and with the addition of a surprise Eminem performance (and all those reactions) this year was really good. Although Parasite was not my favorite(still great film though) it was cool that it won. Definitely a good year.

Joaquin Phoenix was the standout speech for me. He may come off as awkward but this was some real knowledge. Everyone needs to reconnect to the natural world. Also, Parasite was groundbreaking in this ceremony. The first international film to win best picture. CONGRATS TO THE ENTIRE CAST OF THAT FILM. Also I really enjoyed seeing Brad Pitt finally win an Oscar. Definitely deserved it.

Why would you have like 5+ 'musical performances' at an event for film? Sure some of the songs that were performed were in some of the movies, but you're taking up over 20minutes of the event with music? It just seems stupid at a film event.

The oscars this year didn't have a host... instead they used a bunch of different actors to 'host' the oscars... the HUGE problem with this is that instead of having a great host who's funny & witty 100% through the entire awards event, you're now depending on 30+ people to be funny & witty (which just doesn't happen EVER). So you've automatically left with a less-funny & less-witty awards event, because you chose to not have a single host. Some of the 'hosts' were funny, but about 80% of them weren't funny or witty at all. Almost all the lines that they read off from the teleprompter were so stiff and flatly delivered, that you just KNEW they were going to deliver the punch line next, and if you know when the punch line is going to come, then a joke isn't funny.

Overall, the awards had too little funny, was too scripted and had too many musical intermissions. It didn't have many ads though, so that's good.
