The Oscars

To me, most of these films were a bit weak in regards of quality. Roma is a great film, Blackkklansman is a great film, and even Vice is pretty top notch...but the rest? Forgettable. Probably one of the weaker Oscar ceremonies and the only Oscar ceremonies I watched that stopped watching.

This hostless Oscars is really good. The people that disliked it are most likely people who either... their favourite (pun intended) movie didn't win, it was boring (which it wasn't), too political (which it always has been. Look at the Oscar speech when Marlon Brando won Best Actor), or got mad when people dont agree with their opinion.

Okay but got boring pretty quickly.

The big issue these award shows now face is that their audience watches film on multiple platforms, in theatres, streaming, cable, free to air TV. The days of everyone going off to the cinema to watch a popular movie are gone, never to return. The impact the awards have is greatly diluted by this fact, the quality of the output is as good as ever but award shows that concentrate on one medium seem missing a lot, it's because they no longer reflect the audience. Also through Netflix it a lot less American centric, again diluting the award.

One week has passed by and still I am seeing 11 user reviews, seems very little interest! The 91st Oscars has finally arrived, as usual with too much predictability since the Golden Globes announced their winners! Since the 90th Academy Awards in 2018 had the lowest Nielsen ratings of all time, the played smart for the 91st Oscars without any host. It didn't had an impact, in fact, there was a reduction of one hour time which made me easy to view. It was very easy to guess who would won The Best Actor, Picture and Animated Feature. The only special thing I liked was Lady Gaga's speech. Emilia Clarke was the most well dressed person and my heart was with her. I wish there would be a color pic in the IMDB page! I think someone needs to replace Glenn Wiess to direct the Oscars in order to surge the ratings!

I used to watch The Oscars just to see the celebrities and enjoy their laughs and reactions . This Oscars was a total mess. Even in this page I couldn't find many of celebs names either. I don't care who wins which category because mostly we already know the winners, but who is where and doing what in the Dolby Theater, I mean the actors and actresses. My rating is 2 and still believe the best one was The 85th Oscars (2013) hosted by Seth MacFarlane.
