For Some, the Oscar Show Was One Big Carr Crash
The Times coverage of the Oscar show was far, far too kind. It was an overstuffed turkey with a ghastly opening number featuring a Snow White who couldn’t sing and a range of old stars barely identifiable.
Halfway through the show came an elephantine number featuring so-called stars of tomorrow, which leaves me with even less desire to go the movies in the future than the present.
The banter between the presenters was so feeble and poorly delivered it was an embarrassment, although not nearly as embarrassing as the idea of this show being seen as representative of American culture in 91 countries.
