Oscar Thoughts
The Oscars for films released during the year 2010 was probably one of the more WTF?! broadcasts in the history of the Academy Awards. It was a blatant attempt to appeal to the MTV Movie Awards viewership while employing writers and producers who may be too old and/or out of touch to pander to this demographic. Okay so we got James Franco and Anne Hathaway as hosts. Other than the youthful, eye-candy aspects motivating this decision, why else on earth would anybody with half to no creative brain whatsoever think this would be a good idea? All the jokes landed flat. Irrelevant, nonsensical “skits” only worsened the experience (the rap-musical takes on some of last year’s releases?! If ANYONE thought this was funny, those people here and now deserve to not only sit through last night’s broadcast several times in a row, but will have to endure multiple viewings of Hugh Jackman’s “THE MUSICAL IS BACK!” debacle of two years past. And speaking of Jackman… WTF was with that musical bit performed by Hathaway? What the hell did THAT have do with ANYTHING?!).
