Wow, the oscars weren't thrilling. Oh my god, look out. The Tony awards were pretty dull too, I imagine. This is an awards show, what do you want them to do? Swear like sailors and scream "Down with government!"? Do people dream of some golden time when the Oscars were edgy and cool? If there has ever been such an Oscar night, I have never seen it. There is only so much you can do with reading lists of names and then listening to the winner quickly saying thank you to a long list of people.
Jon Stewart did better thna many hosts, and the negative advertising spoofs were dead on. Reese won afterall, with her good "American" name in these times of war.
