The Oscars

Has there been a show that's been so shallow, awful, and boring that the only noteworthy thing was when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock and cussed him out for mentioning his wife? That's right.

Everything about this show was a disaster. From the planning, from the meddling, from the awful writing, and the slap which I'm sure was not work or scripted in any ways.

The worst bit about the writing is when they called animated movies "Kiddy" and "Movies that only children should watch". This is not only an insult to any animator, animation company, or animation fan, but it's just stereotyping animation as a kid's medium... when it's not. There are animated movies made for adults as well, which I guess the writers never knew about. If this was satire, then it's not funny.

Overall, I don't think the Oscars will EVER improve after what happened here, and it's sad when a slap is more noteworthy than the rest of the SHOW. So much for it being "The greatest night in the history of television!"

Oscar, 94, was found dead today from unnatural causes. Having been on life support for many years now, the once prestigious awards night for artistic and technical merit in the film industry, died from complications of no longer being regarded by many as the most significant awards in the entertainment industry worldwide. That all came to an end today as the Oscars stopped celebrating the arts and the achievement in cinema. It had now turned into a sheltered celebration for the selected elite. Although it is important that the Academy Awards showcased the talent from diverse communities and helped educate and influence the film world, it failed not to include a large faction of the film community which remained vacant from its award night for several years. Although the night before Oscars death, the Academy Awards received more news coverage in its 94 year existence, it had nothing to do with cinema or the arts. Instead, the only relevant exposure Oscar received in the last ten years was when something went wrong. Whether this be a slap, naming the wrong film or just being political, Oscar has been losing its way and its audience for decades. Although Oscar was a night for the Hollywood system to give itself a pat on the back for most of its life, Oscar had many memorable moments with several films and performances. Sadly, Oscar had slowly been losing its audience for over the last thirty years. Knowing this was effecting its life, Oscar stayed the course and chose not to change its way. To compete with ratings, the funeral will be televised and the event will not be open to the general public. In care of flowers, please make a donation to any independent filmmakers that works outside of Hollywood.

The Oscars suck nowadays. There's not much excitement or thrill on who is going to win or be nominated anymore. Honestly, when Will Smith hitting Chris Rock is considered the highlight of this year's ceremony, it just goes to show how mediocre and superficial it really is. You're better off just watching the highlights rather than sitting through the entire thing.

5/10.

Well, the bullies whined their way inthi They got what they wanted. The show is completely trashed. Dressing up doesn't give you class.

Thank goodness the deaf, who have overcome so much in life, don't assault each other.

What made this even more upsetting is that I used to admire the participants involved. Will Smith us an excellent actor. How many performers can go from a sitcom to top notch dramatic performances? Chris Rock is great - or used to be. He was not only funny but has displayed brilliance and a unique perspective to share with others. They are way above ths!

#Oscars so ghetto.

Terrible in every direction. Will smith is a grown man child and the Oscar's just fails to be anything remotely entertaining. The Grammies is bad too but at least it's more entertaining depending on how good music was that year, they have performances and other things to offer. I'd definitely be rather watching that than a bunch of fake celebrities spew hypocrisy and BS for every 10 minutes they get on the spotlight. The Oscar's used to be so THRILLING. The last time the Oscar's had something of a amazing watching value was every time Ricky Gervais Hosted! Now what we have here is Political agendas being thrown in our face, and people are missing the point... EVEN if I DO AGREE with the politics it's still NOT what I'm here for. I'm here for the legacy of film, the acknowledgment of film, the people who died and contributed to that legacy... you want to mesh in real world problems that's fine but I feel like they really need to relax with the agendas it's just making it very unwatchable. Other issues I had... the hosts... they are just very unfunny. I was trying to actually get into the jokes and take it for what it is. I like Wanda Sykes the most out of all 3 of them, but Jesus their chemistry did NOT mesh well together at all. It was EXTREMELY cringey. I feel like a good host for the Oscar's would be Jim Carey, Steve Carell, Dave Chappell, Bill Burr, and if you want woman then Joan Rivers, Melissa McCarthy, Betty White (RIP) there's a lot of ideas to go, and sure you don't have to go funny people if you want someone with at least the slightest bit of charisma you just need someone who can capture the audience. Idk why it's so hard for the Oscar's to do this. I can go all day for how much of a disaster this was but it won't change anything. I feel like the Oscar's just really don't care at this point... just like they didn't care that much for acknowledging the dead actors of 2021, just like they didn't care for making this and the previous years the least bit of entertaining or exciting, just as much as they don't care for keeping the show together and having an entertaining execution for something worth watching... and just as much as they could care less about a grown man walking on stage to physically assault a man and yell to the top of his lungs overshadowing the entire night. Literally imagine working so hard in the film industry putting time and effort and finally getting recognition for your hard work and then having the "will / rock " situation happening right before you have to walk up there and accept your award. And let alone the person that has to walk up there next but everyone after that matter... it literally is suffocating the entire room of awkwardness. It's leaving a very awful mark on the legacy of everyone getting their hands on an award. Then will smith goes on his tasteless speech of tears. This is the highest & lowest point of his career. I feel bad for the academy and I certainly feel bad for the people that worked so hard to get the spotlight only to be overshadowed by this... 1.5/10.
