I remember back in the day before the interweb watching the Oscars was one of the few times you could see clips of films.

Now I can see whatever I want, whenever I want, so no.

If there's a streaker or a slap, I'll catch it later on YouTube.

It's a trade off.  How many awkward, over long acceptance speeches is worth one surprising event?

Certain to be another black celebratory event like recent Oscars, Super Bowls, etc. It’s gotten silly.

As someone once said about a Vice-President:

"I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. You are no Jack Kennedy."

The current American Left no longer understands sarcasm, let alone irony.
