Another sub par Oscar awards nomination process and ceremony. Billy Crystal hosted (again). It is beyond me how anyone has ever found him funny at all. He must be in the club.
I actually watched maybe a few minutes total of the show. Each time I tuned in it was someone I could not stomach. Actors views of films they had seen that inspired them. Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez (double gag) presenting. No one challenging the system, maybe Crystal did minutely. He supposedly did wear black face for one performance, brilliant!
CSM had a list of overlooked films. Not seen Ides of March or 50/50 yet. Maybe Harry should have gotten some recognition. Drive definitely was slighted. Super 8 was fun but not sure I agree on that one.
If you're looking for awards with substance can look into the Spirit Awards and the Critics Choice Awards.
