The Oscars

"The 96th Academy Awards" were shorter starting at 7PM and they were very funny with jokes as host Jimmy Kimmel was okay, and the awards show too was okay. Really no surprises as all the hype was "Barbie" vs. "Heimer". And "Oppen" got the edge all getting wins for best picture, director, and best actor and supporting actor. Rightfully so was the young and pretty talented Emma Stone winning best actress for her turn in the sci fi fantasy comedy "Poor Things". And a memorable treat was seeing Michal Keaton saying bring it on to Danny and Arnold as we all remember their on screen feud days from the "Batman" movies especially "Batman Returns". Overall nothing great not the best "Oscars" still it was a watch for entertainment fans and film lovers!

Jimmy Kimmel's performance as the host of the 96th Academy Awards left much to be desired. While he managed to avoid any major controversies or mishaps, his overall presence felt disappointingly bland. Here's why: 1. Lack of Energy: Kimmel's opening monologue lacked the spark and wit we've come to expect from Oscar hosts. It felt like he was going through the motions, ticking off the usual jokes without any genuine enthusiasm.

2. Predictable Humor: Kimmel's attempts at humor were safe and predictable. There were no daring punchlines or memorable zingers. It was as if he was afraid to take risks, resulting in a forgettable comedic experience.

3. Emotionless Delivery: Whether introducing presenters or interacting with nominees, Kimmel's delivery remained flat. He failed to inject any emotion or excitement into the proceedings, making it hard for the audience to stay engaged.

4. Missed Opportunities: The Oscars are a platform for celebrating the magic of cinema, but Kimmel missed several opportunities to elevate the show. Instead of embracing the uniqueness of films like "Everything Everywhere All at Once," he played it safe with generic banter.

In summary, Jimmy Kimmel's hosting was like a lukewarm cup of tea-neither scalding nor refreshing. While it wasn't a disaster, it certainly didn't leave a lasting impression. Here's hoping for a more dynamic and enjoyable host next year!

. . . a representative of the original Americans a few years back, the Academy revoked this recognition of such individuals' unheralded knack of putting on a brave face, and erased Marvin's attempt to spotlight an overlooked cohort of actors as if he were just a kooky visiting Martian who did not fully understand Earthling politics. However, the build-up to Tinsel Town's "Big Night" this year promised that the one sure winner would reinstate Marvin's effort to finally right the wrongs of the Twentieth Century. Shockingly, like Lucy yet again pulling the football away before Charlie Brown can kick it, this promised restitution was shifted at the last moment to an infamous harlot in a self-proclaimed broken dress. Talk about Hollywood's Walk of Shame!

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the awards and he is regarded as a safe pair of hand. As long as he did not make jokes about Robert Downey Jr. They all bombed.

Kimmel later redeemed himself with his response to an online review by a former president.

Oppenheimer was the big winner of the night. It took all the major honours. Poor Thing was the poor thing but it still won four. Barbie's Oscar went for a song.

Once again a Martin Scorsese film leaved empty handed. Like The Irishman, lots of nominations but no wins.

Here is a hint Marty. Next time make a shorter film! Actually Kimmel noted how long some of the contenders were. Did anyone think of my bladder.

Some of the victory speeches were still cloying. Seeing Twins Arnie and Danny DeVito take on Michael Keaton's Batman was fun.

A slick show but once again they messed up the In Memoriam section. I want to see the people who passed on. Not the singers, dancers or the orchestra.

As for the Best Picture presenter. Give up on getting the actor who was in that hit movie fifty years ago. It's way past their bedtime.
