The Oscars

This is my first time reviewing the Oscar show and while I enjoyed it like I do every year, yeah, it's too long! Still, loved the production number tribute to the films based on The Wizard of Oz featuring the stars of Wicked as well as the monologue of first-time host Conan O'Brien who I've enjoyed for years since his first NBC late night show. The only nominees I managed to watch were Wicked and Conclave but it was nice to see all the speeches mostly get their words in the alloted time though, yeah, the one who previously had also won Best Actor tor The Pianist does tend to go a little longer than he should though his remarks were touching enough. Also loved Conan's crack at multiple times-host Jimmy Kimmel! Oh, and nice to see Gene Hackman, who had been recently passed under mysterious circumstances get an acknowledgement in the "In Memoriam" segment especially when presented by one of his most distinguished co-stars in Morgan Freeman. So, yeah, I very much enjoyed this year's Oscars!
