The Oscars (2018 TV Special)
5/10
Disappointing...what is new here?
5 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I was satisfied with the technical awards of Blade Runner 2049 and Dunkirk. Also, Get Out receiving the best original Screenplay, though it should have won Best Picture also. A number of the winners - Gary Oldman, Allison Janney, Frances McDormand etc - were already media hyped, thanks to the Golden Globes, so it was no surprise at all. I liked what Frances McDormand had to say, but her speech was better at The Golden Globes.

Seeing SriDevi and Shashi Kapoor in the In Memoriam shook me a little. Some traces of a feud between Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon still remain! Was this award show trying to be the first award event sequel?

The final award of Best Picture (as predictable) saw two legends being brought again- Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. It would be a shame that they had a mix-up again. I thought that The Oscar Committee would pick up new auditors... otherwise Price Waterhouse Coopers would have been sacked!
