But this isn't the only problem with the Oscars. We all know the show is entirely too long. What the billion of us in our jammies watching from around the globe want to see is Hollywood razzle dazzle, not the silly stuff that makes no sense.
For instance, the crowd of tourists arriving - unbeknownst to them - at the theater door and being ushered in to hang out with the world's most beautiful people - was cringe-worthy.
Also what was the point of the candy dropping from the ceiling? And what about Jimmy Kimmel texting up on the screen? Big time waster. - and it didn't work At least this year we didn't have to watch Girl Scouts sell their cookies.
Here's what we want! We want beautiful people who are totally comfortable in the public eye entertaining us - either on stage or just sitting in their seats - being beautiful. Is this so hard? Can't the Oscars just make do with the scores of highest paid entertainers in the world and not ship in us civilians to mess things us?

And for years I've had a problem with the Oscars bringing out old timers who are well past their prime. ( I used to spend a lot of time in front of a microphone. But I no longer have nerves of steel. ) If old-timers are to be honored, why not just show great clips from their careers? It was an embarrassment to see 1967s' Bonnie and Clyde have to deal with the mix-up. They shouldn't have been put in that situation. Denzel or Amy could have handled it.
All in all, I thought Jimmy Kimmel did a good job. I loved seeing all of the awards and Dave and I think this years' film are excellent.
