Are the Oscars worth it? That's the question that was asked on a CNN article a few days ago. I posted a comment to the comment section, which didn't get picked to be listed, but still, are the Oscars worth it?

It seems like each year I look forward to the Oscars, and it's such a let down. Everyone else seems to hate long speeches by the winners. I guess I'm the only person who thinks "let them talk". It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it'd be nice to hear what they have to say.

I say cut the stupid insipid banter between presenters. It's poorly written and even more poorly executed. I say cut the opening sequence. It takes up time, and really--except for Billy Crystal--who has pulled off a good one?

Anyway, the original article was at:

Have a great day!
