And the OSCAR goes to… the fans, for having to endure what can only be summed up as the most boring Oscar telecast ever. Rather than take the honest approach and admit to the world that there simply wasn’t enough time post-WGA strike to put together a proper (translation: entertaining and funny) show, ABC perpetrated a lie. Aside from Jon Stewart’s noble, classy and painfully minimalist attempt to keep the audience awake, the show was essentially a glorified Golden Globes press conference. In fact, the only thing less interesting than last night’s Oscars winning speeches was being force fed clips of previous Academy Award winners we either (a) didn’t care about or (b) didn’t remember. Here’s hoping that sometime in the not-to-distant future ABC will harness LOST’s time-travelling technology and give us five hours of our life back.
