I agreed with the friend who posted "worst Oscars ever" even though I wasn't sure if he was referring to the hosting or the voting. The show is always long, but this year it was as tedious as, well, Birdman. Take out Harris' lame bit about his pre-show predictions and they would have saved a good 10 minutes. As for the movies, the only category I can speak of with any authority is "Live Action Shorts," having seen every one of them at Cinema Paradiso on Saturday, and the weakest of the five, The Phone Call, about an emergency help line, took the Oscar. This was the year for socially relevant films. OK, every year is the year for socially relevant films. My only pleasure of the night was seeing Ida win best foreign film and listening to the acceptance speech by its director, Pawel Pawlikowski, who showed that you can go overtime and still be charming. It should be required viewing for next year's host.
