The Oscars (I) (2023 TV Special)
3/10
Wasted time
25 August 2023
You wasted so much time on Jimmy Kimmel being painfully unfunny. He has the LEAST amount of charisma as any Oscar host ever. His jokes are nothing but references to Oscar movies with no substance or comedic timing. Why the hell has he been invited back so many times. The show worked SO well without a host at all. Every time Jimmy Kimmel goes on stage, the pacing of the show grinds to a screeching halt.

You wasted so much time with a bunch of stupid skits that nobody wanted. "Wow look it's Jimmy Kimmel in a popular movie. How original. It's not like I've seen that exact same joke in every mediocre Oscar year".

You wasted SO MUCH TIME on random montages. This one is really bizarre. Because the films included in the montages are from completely different years, completely different genres, and most of them are Disney owned properties. This adds nothing to the Oscars, it's clearly just completely unnecessary padding.

You wasted all of this time, and you STILL cut off half of the acceptance speeches.

And on top of all that, you made a joke about cutting off the visual effects artists. Even though they fix Hollywood's broken movies, get paid pennies, and often go out of business for doing so.

The Oscars is a joke and nobody cares. Just shorten the damn thing. Give out every award. Cut out the hosts. Make the Oscars a celebration of art, rather than a 3 hour long Hollywood circle jerk.
