I suffered through the most useless, boring Oscars I've ever seen just to see Celine Dion.Shut it off after- didn't care about any current films.
She was the classiest/most talented thing on the show. Her dress was exquisite and her voice is magnificent.
I don't know what happened to Ellen Degeneres, or what it takes to make her lackluster and un-funny, but this broadcast did it. Felt like it was directed by Cheech and Chong, doped out of their minds. It was like 'Night of the Living Dead' with tuxes and jewelry.
I agree with you about Celine Dion. Her talent is amazing, and her song tonight was absolutely the best part of the show. Even the audience of "celebrities" seemed in awe to hear her sing.
I haven't watched the Oscar show in years, but have to say this one was too long and very close to boring most of the time.
