The Oscars

[Alex]

Yes, but when the majority of the people voting haven't actually seen a majority of the nominees you're going to end up with less ideal methods of choosing.

And reading the complaints about acceptance speeches I am seeing today, the dominant theme is too much thanking of people we've never heard of.

Overall, I found the show politically tame. But that's to be expected when the only unscripted event seems to have been Will Smith's kid screwing up his line.
