Honorable Mention to Ann Hathaway and her 1950's pointers.
Finally, the best you can say about MacFarlane is that he is a great singer, but that he was mostly tasteless and flat with his jokes. If all his jokes weren't offensive enough, he went on to reference George Clooney’s attraction to younger women: “To give you an idea of how young she is (re: Quvenzhane Wallis) " it’ll be 16 years until she’s too old for Clooney.” If that wasn't objectifying a little girl, I am not sure what it might be, certainly insulting to George Clooney.
We don't usually watch the Oscars steadily, but this year we were familiar with most of the movies.
The winners were all gracious and funny and deserved to win and overall I enjoyed the Oscar (I'm glad they changed the name officially) telecast. My suggestion for next year's host is Jimmy Fallon. He would appeal to everyone and (maybe) not offend anyone too seriously.

The award for best and worst Oscar moments goes to…
I didn't watch the Oscars. Mostly because I have no interest in watching rich and famous people being told how wonderful they are in a public and televised ceremony.
ReplyDeleteI don't really care for Seth either. Now had the host been Lewis Black... I would have been all over that!
I didn't watch the Oscars (because I was at work, but I probably wouldn't have watched them anyway!).
ReplyDeleteJimmy Fallon though? I'd absolutely watch if he hosted.
We haven't watched the Oscars in years, but I was shocked by the choice of host. I like McFarlane, but the better choice would have been someone more mainstream. They were going for the 'shock' I guess. I did get to see the Les Mis number--I had no idea that Russell Crowe could sing!
ReplyDeleteI too LOVED McFarlane's voice but thought his jokes were flat. I adored all the music though, which more than made up for the slow comedy.
ReplyDeleteAmen about Melissa McCarthy...she could look SO much better!!!
ReplyDeleteI fell asleep after the 1st hour of the Oscars...yep, bored me all the way to sleep! But I did go back and watch it on Hulu. To the chagrin of my husband and son, my favorite part was the We Saw Your Boobs song. Why on earth did people find that song offensive? It makes no sense! Haha!
ReplyDeleteMy real favorite moment was Daniel Day Lewis' acceptance speech! What a wonderful actor!
Great post!
Heehee I don't even know if the Oscars was shown over here but I guess it had to be somewhere on the television. My view of celebs is a bit like Missy's... so much hype.
ReplyDeleteI love the Oscars. Since 40.3 million viewed the show, I think lots of other people care about it, too! While I enjoyed Seth MacFarlane, I think too much is made of the host. For me, it's really about the movies. And this year, the music was stellar! Where else can you see Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Hudson, Shirley Bassey and Adele, all on one show?
