Exactly. I can’t remember the last Oscars I watched, but it has to be in excess of 30 years ago.
To be honest, I’ve watched maybe 75 minutes of clips over the past fifteen years...and thats it. None of my relatives watch the show...although they are mostly from Bama and would prefer Knight Rider or NASCAR entertainment.
I can remember watching one during the early 80s...and feeling like it was just some star-search competition with a bunch of losers. The speeches were awful and the whole thing lacked any entertainment value.
“I can’t remember the last Oscars I watched, but it has to be in excess of 30 years ago.”
I was just thinking the same thing. It has been at LEAST that long ago for me too.
I’ve watched one Oscar telecast in 20 years. It was one where the old guy that played Gandalf was shown holding hands with a very young guy. Giant EWWW factor. Never again.
