I agree with you on all points. The wonderful world we live in now allows us NOT to watch the Oscars. What I do is typically watch the opening act, and 6 speeches on you Tube typically the next day. It is wonderful.
Good source of highlights. I wind up with a 4 hour recording and scan through. Sometimes there’s a special moment, an old-timer or something funny and I can catch those. I enjoy the boobage parade also, but my boss would just as soon scan through.
