After an exciting stand-off that lasted all day some sort of face-saving agreement was reached all around and ABC was back on Cablevision in time for the first award. However, you would have missed two hours of pre-game excitement if you were relying on a Cablevision connection. So, there. We turned it on when we found out about it, mostly for my sister. She's a movie buff and makes sure to see each and every contender for the main Academy Awards. She fell asleep before the best supporting actor was announced. I don't blame her. I wasn't paying total attention, but it did seem like the show was a bit of a snoozer. I did notice one thing. Was it my imagination or did the actors and actresses seem to be going for looking good instead of bizarre this year? If so, it's a nice trend, but I may not have seen enough to judge.
All in all the show we got here leading up to it all day - Will they or won't they? - was a lot more exciting than the actual program.
I wrote and posted a blog post during the show, but it was still painful...even though I found far less to be disgusted by in terms of who won and lost than usual...Mo'Nique, Jeff Bridges, and a movie that isn't Avatar winning best picture...wahoo...
