My biggest beef with the broadcast was the playing of music at the beginning of each speech (for everyone except for Altman). It was rude and completely destroyed any semblance of spontaneity during the broadcast.
It's not the awards that we remember after the broadcast has ended - it's these tiny moments of humanity. Where were the Sally Fields, the Jack Palances, even the Susan Sarandons and Tim Robbins?
For a community that prides itself on pushing social boundaries, the Oscars stayed clear of the outer bounds.
