Los 94 Premios de la Academia

The Oscars suck nowadays. There's not much excitement or thrill on who is going to win or be nominated anymore. Honestly, when Will Smith hitting Chris Rock is considered the highlight of this year's ceremony, it just goes to show how mediocre and superficial it really is. You're better off just watching the highlights rather than sitting through the entire thing.

5/10.

The Oscars was a staple of the best of the year. Chris Rock is one of the funniest comedians out there. Will Smith had NO RIGHT TO GET UP OUT OF HIS SEAT GO TO CHRIS AND SLAP HIM AND THEN CUSS HIM OUT!! Lupita Nyong'o didn't even do anything about it and she was sitting next to Will. Congrats to Coda but after that incident, I think I'm done with the Oscars.

Has there been a show that's been so shallow, awful, and boring that the only noteworthy thing was when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock and cussed him out for mentioning his wife? That's right.

Everything about this show was a disaster. From the planning, from the meddling, from the awful writing, and the slap which I'm sure was not work or scripted in any ways.

The worst bit about the writing is when they called animated movies "Kiddy" and "Movies that only children should watch". This is not only an insult to any animator, animation company, or animation fan, but it's just stereotyping animation as a kid's medium... when it's not. There are animated movies made for adults as well, which I guess the writers never knew about. If this was satire, then it's not funny.

Overall, I don't think the Oscars will EVER improve after what happened here, and it's sad when a slap is more noteworthy than the rest of the SHOW. So much for it being "The greatest night in the history of television!"

I am old enough to remember when The Oscars were all just about movies and rewarding the best in cinematic achievements from the year prior, not trying to preach politics, tell bland and rather cringe inducing jokes that anybody could write or say without seeing a dime for it, and certainly not display the kind of unprofessionalism that your Will Smith did live in front of millions of viewers by getting up on stage and slapping Chris Rock just for a joke. The two new categories, fan favorite and best moment or something along those lines, feel like something you would expect from the MTV Movie & TV Awards, but not the Academy Awards, and neither were even very well thought out either. Probably the only highlight of the program was Kevin Costner's speech before awarding Best Director, if only the rest of the program was like that, at least Sir Kenneth Branagh and Sir Anthony Hopkins also understood the mission and tried to keep things short and professional.

Oscar, 94, was found dead today from unnatural causes. Having been on life support for many years now, the once prestigious awards night for artistic and technical merit in the film industry, died from complications of no longer being regarded by many as the most significant awards in the entertainment industry worldwide. That all came to an end today as the Oscars stopped celebrating the arts and the achievement in cinema. It had now turned into a sheltered celebration for the selected elite. Although it is important that the Academy Awards showcased the talent from diverse communities and helped educate and influence the film world, it failed not to include a large faction of the film community which remained vacant from its award night for several years. Although the night before Oscars death, the Academy Awards received more news coverage in its 94 year existence, it had nothing to do with cinema or the arts. Instead, the only relevant exposure Oscar received in the last ten years was when something went wrong. Whether this be a slap, naming the wrong film or just being political, Oscar has been losing its way and its audience for decades. Although Oscar was a night for the Hollywood system to give itself a pat on the back for most of its life, Oscar had many memorable moments with several films and performances. Sadly, Oscar had slowly been losing its audience for over the last thirty years. Knowing this was effecting its life, Oscar stayed the course and chose not to change its way. To compete with ratings, the funeral will be televised and the event will not be open to the general public.
