....just the worst production in years.

Whomever is doing the visual montages of clips needs to be fired post haste. The movie clips are just trailer clips already seen 100 times....and that James Bond Montage ! Lame is not even the word. Images did not match the mood or the music of the particular film at all and all overlayed with horrible graphics.

Way too many musical numbers. WAY TOO MANY. And as a gay man, I can safely say that those 2 queens in charge of the production are to blame. I can just hear them: "Girl, lets have 5 old-timey musical segments. It's so NOW. It'll be fabulous !"

In short, with an hour to go yet, I wouldn't care if the entire show got the now infamous "Jaws Theme" interruption.

Anything would be better.


Edit: and who ever thought Seth McFarlane could be such a boring snooze ?


2nd edit: At least Babs Streisand arrives to class things up. Unfortunately though, she does a song from 1972.

Is H'wood pining for some golden age past ?


3rd edit: Going catatonic from yet another old style musical number..............my God.....



Alright at this point they are better off hiring George Takei to host next year.

Even better, your latest crush William Shatner could host.

If Shatner hosted, there wouldn't be room for any other co-hosts/presenters/musical acts. His ego would push them all out. Lol

Just checked IMDB and there are no less than 4 previous versions.

None of those were musicals though, but the current one can qualify as a remake of the Broadway musical.

Didn't think it was a troll, tbh. Plus, I felt like passing on the info for those who may not have known.

nothing wrong with show tunes.

my collection's complete?
wouldn't you think I'm the girl...

Wow.

Another observant person agrees it was probably the worst Oscar show ever (the actual award winners not withstanding of course):

I didnt watch th oscars. There were much better things to do. Ill be glad that I had that anesthesia-less vasectomy and that pinecone enima later on in life anyways.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Learn to spell "enema".
