Terrible in every direction. Will smith is a grown man child and the Oscar's just fails to be anything remotely entertaining. The Grammies is bad too but at least it's more entertaining depending on how good music was that year, they have performances and other things to offer. I'd definitely be rather watching that than a bunch of fake celebrities spew hypocrisy and BS for every 10 minutes they get on the spotlight. The Oscar's used to be so THRILLING. The last time the Oscar's had something of a amazing watching value was every time Ricky Gervais Hosted! Now what we have here is Political agendas being thrown in our face, and people are missing the point... EVEN if I DO AGREE with the politics it's still NOT what I'm here for. I'm here for the legacy of film, the acknowledgment of film, the people who died and contributed to that legacy... you want to mesh in real world problems that's fine but I feel like they really need to relax with the agendas it's just making it very unwatchable. Other issues I had... the hosts... they are just very unfunny. I was trying to actually get into the jokes and take it for what it is. I like Wanda Sykes the most out of all 3 of them, but Jesus their chemistry did NOT mesh well together at all. It was EXTREMELY cringey. I feel like a good host for the Oscar's would be Jim Carey, Steve Carell, Dave Chappell, Bill Burr, and if you want woman then Joan Rivers, Melissa McCarthy, Betty White (RIP) there's a lot of ideas to go, and sure you don't have to go funny people if you want someone with at least the slightest bit of charisma you just need someone who can capture the audience. Idk why it's so hard for the Oscar's to do this. I can go all day for how much of a disaster this was but it won't change anything. I feel like the Oscar's just really don't care at this point... just like they didn't care that much for acknowledging the dead actors of 2021, just like they didn't care for making this and the previous years the least bit of entertaining or exciting, just as much as they don't care for keeping the show together and having an entertaining execution for something worth watching... and just as much as they could care less about a grown man walking on stage to physically assault a man and yell to the top of his lungs overshadowing the entire night. Literally imagine working so hard in the film industry putting time and effort and finally getting recognition for your hard work and then having the "will / rock " situation happening right before you have to walk up there and accept your award. And let alone the person that has to walk up there next but everyone after that matter... it literally is suffocating the entire room of awkwardness. It's leaving a very awful mark on the legacy of everyone getting their hands on an award. Then will smith goes on his tasteless speech of tears. This is the highest & lowest point of his career. I feel bad for the academy and I certainly feel bad for the people that worked so hard to get the spotlight only to be overshadowed by this... 1.5/10.
