I was so looking forward to The Avengers. Not only were they not in costume, the whole dialogue was forced.
February 25, 201313 yr race jokes ok fat jokes bad Alright, world. Heaven forbid someone make fun of Adele for being a slob!
February 25, 201313 yr QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 02:31 PM) Agreed, but that's not saying much. Too much singing, the audio was terrible, the ensemble presenter idea was terrible, and the whole show had a feeling of high school variety show quality. But really, people say this every year and it's NEVER been good. Once every 20 years you'll have a great/memorable Oscars, but there's so much f'n marketing behind the nominations/awards there's no legit surprises anymore. That's what made it great back in the day. McFarlane was what he predicted - mediocre. A couple of good bits (Flight reenacted with sock puppets, the Boob song, the Mel Gibson "what, you're on his side?" joke) but otherwise pretty meh. I guess as a host having some good bits but otherwise being forgettable is a good thing. So maybe a little better than mediocre. What makes an award show "good?" Its an awards show, with mostly awards that we dont understand. Its always going to be boring. At least this year there wasnt a run away winner that everyone predicted. Outside of that at least Seth was funny and some of the actresses looked hot.

Ricky Gervais and the recent Amy/Tina awards shows were good. I mean, good is relative obviously. We're talking about 3-4 hours of people taking themselves way too seriously (which is why Gervais was so amazing, he was making fun of the people in the room for that very reason).
February 26, 201313 yr I dvr'd the Indy Spirit Awards on IFC. Now that is an awards show. Great monologue by Samberg.

February 26, 201313 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 07:36 PM) She is so nasty. She just reeks of arrogance, I refuse to listen to her. I played Chris Rock's Oscar Monologue on my TV while she sang last night.

That is how I feel as well. She said in an interview a couple of years ago that she doesn't want to be a celebrity. Than stop showing up to sing at awards shows and doing 20/20 interviews. Actually, stop being a singer and get another job than.
