I'm not sure it was as bad as Rob Lowe singing "Rollin on the River" with Snow White, but it was pretty close. Ellen DeGeneres was OK as host but just barely. (It almost seemed like Jerry Seinfeld was auditioning for the part when he was giving out the Best Documentary award.) I liked the opening Errol Morris thing, but only because I like Errol Morris and I like Apple (the piece was a copy of what Morris did for Apple's Mac commercials a while back). The other montages were eeeh. The Pilobilus (sp) shadow art thing was dumb. The speeches were boring. I mean, I love Ennio Morricone's work, but does he need to be up there for 3-4 minutes? (I think that's how long he was up there from my clicking through his speech at 30 seconds a hop.) Similarly, the Dreamgirls medley went on FOREVER! Jeez, get the hook already! They didn't even win Best Song, and they had three out of the five nominations! Ugh!
Every year I vow not to watch, and every year I break my vow. At least this year I watched most of it via MythTV and played Viva Pinata instead.
