Oh, good... maybe Jay Leno instead. Yeah, that's more entertaining. :eyes:

1. I don't think enough people
"got" his humor. Plus, they didn't really let him do his typical act, b/c of a little thing called censorship.

2. Jay Leno wouldn't know funny if it kicked him in the crotch.
He turned Carson's Tonight Show into something that appeals primarily to the groundlings.

7. I wish it would go back to what it used to be.
The awards started out as a luncheon/dinner thing with only the people involved, invited..

Maybe a little write up or a snippet in the newsreel..It's morphed into a monstrously ugly thing..

People only care about three or four awards, and yet must endure 3+ hours of non-entertainment and phony adlibs..

Most people have not even seen the movies..and the ratings have been dropping for decades..

It's all politics and advertising..and a total waste of time..
