My recap of the Oscars broadcast:
I didn't like the way they tried to make it look like a movie. It took away all the liveliness of an award show, especially for a non Oscar show watcher.
Camera angles were bad in the first hour or so. The beginning with Regina King (on stage) and the award that Bryan Cranston introduced are prime example. Also, they got camera people in several shots but it got better.
It took almost 90 minutes into the show to show their first clip. How can you promote the best of any category when people don't know what it looks like? In my opinion, that was a bad choice.
They really should have planned the steps for the stage a little better. If you were coming from the left or the right of the stage, you were mostly good. The people that had a straight line at the front of the stage had rough time. I seen at least two people almost fall getting up on stage. I posted a picture above so you get an idea of what I'm talking about.
The winners went mostly the way I thought it would (especially Best Supporting Actress) except for Anthony Hopkins.
Best part of the night was Glenn Close showing her musical and Spike Lee knowledge, even doing Da Butt to the song Da Butt by EU.
Ok I'm done. Lol
