And frankly, I am brain dead tonight.

I enjoyed the Oscars more than everybody else.

My biggest complaint is that Leo was allowed to ramble on and on without any music playing him off.

TCB · « **Reply #125 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:37:36 PM »

Not 15 minutes before that, the Best Director winner was interrupted with play-him-off music, even though he was giving a very powerful message against discrimination.

Personally, I believe that a director is more important than an actor, especially on a film.

TCB · « **Reply #127 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:39:51 PM »

I don't mean that she should have played Leo off, but why play off the best director?

I enjoyed the Lady Gaga segment, although, quite honestly, I don't really "get" Lady Gaga.

Still, I thought it was a very powerful song, and I was impressed by the appearance of those victims of abuse.

TCB · « **Reply #130 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:44:48 PM »

I thought that the evening was lacking in emotion.

TCB · « **Reply #131 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:46:25 PM »

And did anybody explain to the nominees the whole purpose of scrolling the names under their acceptance speeches?

TCB · « **Reply #132 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:46:59 PM »

The idea was to give them the time to say something more profound.

TCB · « **Reply #133 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:48:20 PM »

So, my guess is that none of these people have anything more important to say than to thank "their team" and mom and dad.

TCB · « **Reply #134 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:50:02 PM »

So, next year, I think we can scratch the whole idea of scrolling a lot of names under the winner.

TCB · « **Reply #135 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:51:54 PM »

And another time saver might be to start timing the winners from the moment their name is read.

I gotta tell you.

Finished with my viewing.

These people hug and kiss everybody that might possibly be involved with their film, they shake hands with total strangers as they walk down the aisle, and then they chat with the presenters.

TCB · « **Reply #139 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:54:13 PM »

All of this before they even get to the microphone.

TCB · « **Reply #140 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:55:27 PM »

Instead of giving them 45 seconds for an acceptance speech, give them 1.5 minutes from the time their names are announced.

TCB · « **Reply #141 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:56:56 PM »

Knowing that the clock is ticking, these winners might move their asses a little faster to the stage.

TCB · « **Reply #142 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:57:48 PM »

And if they have a whole lot of people to thank, they might haul ass to the stage.

TCB · « **Reply #143 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:58:26 PM »

The worst offenders were those winners that were in those private boxes.

Yes, where once people leapt to their feet and got to the stage as quickly as possible, now we have this other thing and it's just so pompous and unnecessary.

I did find my glasses this morning.

Good.

TCB · « **Reply #146 on:** February 29, 2016, 11:03:48 PM »

I assume that groups of technical nominees were seated together in those little boxes in the back and side of the house.

They were stuck between the mattress and the nightstand.

I usually find my missing glasses in or near the bed.

TCB · « **Reply #148 on:** February 29, 2016, 11:05:05 PM »

Anyway, such is my two cents.

TCB · « **Reply #149 on:** February 29, 2016, 11:06:38 PM »

I have no comments about the fashions of the evening, although I will say that Sophia Vergara would look hot in anything.
