I posted this on another thread — Anne Hathaway tried her darn best and in fact, was trying hard... but clearly, she needs more hosting (and life) experience.
Seeing the impromptu naughtiness of 94 year old Kirk Douglas and then the appearance of Billy Crystal just reminds us what the word “adult” means.
The contrast between Billy Crystal and last night’s hosts cannot be more startling.
There was one fleeting moment of interest: when Bob Hope materialized behind a lecturn as a holographic image.
Here’s an idea -— about giving up the Oscar shows entirely to holographic presenters? If Watson can take over Jeopardy, when can’t computers and technology take over the Oscars?
It would be fascinating, and I’d really like to see what would happen if somehow, there was a power surge !!
Then it would be only a little more vacuous than last night’s event.
To be honest I don't think she was all that bad. I've certainly sat through worse - Stewart, Letterman, Alec Baldwin, that God-awful Whoopie Goldberg. My wife watches it; I tend to tune it out except when there are movies I care about up for awards. I wanted to see "The King's Speech" run the table, but Bales beat out Rush.
