Ok, so if this were a school project I can hear the teacher commenting it was too dry, not enough variety in presentation, not enough visuals.
All of this it true of The Oscars.
The location looked great, very old Hollywood. I expected to see Humphrey Bogart at every turn.
The initial opening by Regina King was great but it was pretty dry after that.
There were endless speeches and luckily a fast forward button because I was watching it on an hour delay.
There were boring descriptions of nominees - show don't tell people.
I am sure their viewing figures will be at an all time low and remember there was the Hathaway / Franco year and THAT WAS A BETTER SHOW (and it was awful).
Do better Oscars. I watch every year, but not for much longer if this is the best you can do.
You could have recorded musical numbers and other skits to put in between, but instead we got to watch the teachers dry slides and lack lustre performances in general with very few highlights.
