I wander if Turner Classic has any of the old Oscar ceremonies.
Watching Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor and Bogart and Joanne Woodard win would be fun.
And Gregory Peck and Paul Newman and Audrey Hepburn and Julie Andrews and Gene Kelly too.
We need Arthur Freed back and new composers and lyrics

The show was fun. Billy did well and glad Ms. Spencer won.
Meryl Streep looks amazing. Will be watching Oscar when he turns 85.

Mostly wanna be "actors" with minimal or no talent. Who is the bozo making the faces and jumping-- some song-writer no one has ever heard of before-- does that idiot think he's funny?? most of these actors are people no one has ever heard of before?/ Even the statue has an idiotic look on its face. We skipped the entire farce

Best thing to do is tape it and fast forward ALL the insufferable commercials and then to best supporting actor/actress, best actress/actor, director, and best film .. the rest is WHO the heck cares?!!!

You clicked on the article and took the time to comment on something you are criticizing other people for watching? Do you see the irony here? LOL

They all sat and watched. They just post their silly nonsense on here.
Meanwhile while the rest of who actually enjoy the movies and the history of the Oscars and do know something about the movies, like the show.
Around a billion people world wide watch. We will be watching when Oscar turns 85 next year.

Am I the only one other than Marknfl who thinks Sasha B Cohen should not have been allowed to appear? His movie is in BAD taste - and his stunt was disgusting. I am angry at myself for even giving his presence a comment. He deserves no publicity. What a FU**ing pig.

Brian Grazer -- fantastic hair. I'm getting a strong Munkustrap vibe. Love Cats!
