For the second consecutive year, the Academy Awards ceremony will not have a TV host. The broadcast will focus on "huge entertainment value, big musical numbers, big comedy and star power," according to ABC, the television network airing the award show.

Gervais passed his audition. He has earned the job.

Saying they “will focus on huge entertainment value, big musical numbers, big comedy and star power”.....
In other words a skin show and trash language by actors entertaining each other that few would ever pay to see.

Greta Thunberg’s schedule isn’t booked. How could they possibly have overlooked this super bubbly and uber woke personality? How dare they!

Perhaps next year, the Oscar awards will simply be announced on the Academy ‘s website

David Niven handled the streaker with aplomb back in the 1970s. He may have been tipped off of course so it might not have been the surprise it looked like. The surprises back then were political speeches. They are no longer surprises today though.

I haven’t watched the Oscars for, well, decades. Useless people giving useless awards to other useless people.

Next they should get rid of the audience.
Just mail the winners a letter saying they won.

It’ll mark another consecutive decade I won’t be watching. I watched my first and last one probably some time around 1970. No lie.
