As a musician and writer I found the opening mono fantastic.
OK, admit there was a sound balance problem that I can't figure out.
Just observing the people in the audience is a hoot.
I would love to be one of them.
That would mean I have money.

I’ve never worked in the industry. I’ve never even been to California. I assume the director and engineers are in charge of how its mixed. Must have been a botch job based on comments.

Dont they have a technician(s) watching the actual TV broadcast in real time as the rest of the public? They are supposed to...
but as they say in Iran: "Shiite Happens!"

My stepson lives about 2-3 miles from the Kodak Theater, where this Oscar celebration is taking place. He works in "the industry", but as a writer for television.

So far what I notice is the majority of the men are homosexual and the rest of the nominees and winners seem to be very liberal.

Thanks for the replies. Just was curious how something so important as the opening number could get botched.

Did you catch Jlos nipple show? She must need publicity.
Yes, I did, but she doesn't need publicity, she's on American Idol, it's huge, just to skimpy a dress I guess, but she kinda looked hot ...

I hadn’t noticed. I’m in the next room, listening for the jokes and the occasional old clip. I don’t pay attention to speeches.

Don’t know who they were but it was 4 men or 5. Several before and on or two after. Back about 20 min ago.

It’s been a fairly apolitical bunch of speeches as far as I can recall.

Most of the people who get Oscars are technicians.
