Re: Best Oscars I've seen
Me too, on everything. I know some people thought Ellen was too nice, but it's a celebration, not a roast. We're too snarky too often, most of us. I thought the pizza and the group selfie were adorable, and that Ellen handled Bradley Cooper's ruining of her joke (the joke was supposed to be that Ellen was going to kick Meryl out of the picture at the last minute) with charm and aplomb.
The clip segments were a waste of time and I wish they'd go back to the showing pieces that highlighted cinematography and sound editing and makeup - they've done it in years past and it was always interesting. Not just clips, but actually explaining what the processes are and how they contribute to the film.
I'd have done a separate tribute to Roger Ebert too, if I were in charge of things.
I did think the 75th anniversary tribute to Wizard of Oz was sort of pointless and maybe just an attempt to fill time with another song. Pink was fine, but I just don't think that song should be belted. It's a quiet song to me, not a showstopper. And a gutsier move might have been to remember Gone With the Wind's 75th anniversary, and compare its portrayal of slavery to 12 Years a Slave.
