Classless writing. Simply classless. A real shame for the mostly classsful films tht were in the running.

Seen every Oscar show since I got my first TV in 1954. Loved the awards, but even with a Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, or Billy Crystal, the many awkward attempts at entertainment made me cranky. Last night was wonderful! Great blend of music, dancing, humor, history. Great direction, writing, design. A stage that highlighted the people, did not overpower, distract with flash. Even the “in Memoriam” was somehow more comfortable to watch. Winners were apparently coached to accept with grace and humor and honesty. The “audience” obviously was into it. Seth was both self-deprecating and trustworthy. This was intelligent, delightful entertainment.

Silver… You most definitely sound like a senior.

Some of the jokes were a bit over the top for the Academy Awards, but aside from that, I think Seth did just fine. I don’t see how you can whine about his performance and then go on to say that he was better than most hosts in recent years.

Could have done without Mrs. Obama though. Almost seemed like a commercial.

Really Senior? Classless? I agree about leaving politics out of it but if there’s one thing you Michelle Obama exemplifies it’s class. Give your head a shake old boy.

Worst Academy Awards show that I have ever watched!!!!

And the worst part was having our “classless” “First Lady” announcing the Best Picture award winner…I believe Jack, as a veteran actor, could have announced the Winner…enough of the politics!
