The Oscars

I used to watch The Oscars just to see the celebrities and enjoy their laughs and reactions . This Oscars was a total mess. Even in this page I couldn't find many of celebs names either. I don't care who wins which category because mostly we already know the winners, but who is where and doing what in the Dolby Theater, I mean the actors and actresses. My rating is 2 and still believe the best one was The 85th Oscars (2013) hosted by Seth MacFarlane.

Oscars, is your 3 hours and half of show relevant to the masses as your nominations are?... So much money spent in the production of this show, still they can not make it relevant to the masses and 2019. Come on, Do you see yourself being relevant to the millennials, and younger generations years to come? The award is so pristine, but the show used to be so exciting, so amazing, full of surprises, not any more. The best i can describe the oscars of 2019 is: You have all the ingredients for a good recipe but... you just couldn't make it happen. So frustrating, i feel like i could've done a better job at producing the oscars 2019, you have all the best talents to produce an unbelievable show, but at home the viewers just can't see the hard work put out behind the scenes, i am sorry but it just doesn't translate to our tvs at home.

One week has passed by and still I am seeing 11 user reviews, seems very little interest! The 91st Oscars has finally arrived, as usual with too much predictability since the Golden Globes announced their winners! Since the 90th Academy Awards in 2018 had the lowest Nielsen ratings of all time, the played smart for the 91st Oscars without any host. It didn't had an impact, in fact, there was a reduction of one hour time which made me easy to view. It was very easy to guess who would won The Best Actor, Picture and Animated Feature. The only special thing I liked was Lady Gaga's speech. Emilia Clarke was the most well dressed person and my heart was with her. I wish there would be a color pic in the IMDB page! I think someone needs to replace Glenn Wiess to direct the Oscars in order to surge the ratings!

Okay but got boring pretty quickly.

The big issue these award shows now face is that their audience watches film on multiple platforms, in theatres, streaming, cable, free to air TV. The days of everyone going off to the cinema to watch a popular movie are gone, never to return. The impact the awards have is greatly diluted by this fact, the quality of the output is as good as ever but award shows that concentrate on one medium seem missing a lot, it's because they no longer reflect the audience. Also through Netflix it a lot less American centric, again diluting the award.

"The Oscars" the 91st annual one was much improved and better as with no host for the first time since 1989 things ran smoother, quicker, and each presenter and new stage face was fresh with their own set of jokes and laughs! The music was in top notch form as the opening was music from "Queen", and the highlight and touching intimate moment with love and chemistry was the duet performance of "Shallow"(best original song) from the great Bradley Cooper and stunning Lady Gaga.

Plus this year the awards were not predictable as upsets and surprises were found most shocking was Rami Malek's win for best actor over favorite Christian Bale who was to believable as Dick Cheney, and it was not meant to be for Glenn Close as Olivia Colman upset her for best actress. Yet class acts and category front runners Regina King and Mahershala Ali won both supporting actress and supporting actor for their blunt and outspoken roles of race films.

Social and race films were dominate as the family drama "Roma" won best foreign language film and Alfonso Cuaron won best director, and "Green Book" was the pick for best picture as the true story on friendship and race relations rose to the top. Overall well done "Oscars" an improvement in laughs, and the music was touching and the awards were more spread out with upsets and surprises! Hope this trend continues for "Hollywood's" big shining golden night.
