I totally get it, selections as winners past. But were they by year, by theme, by genre, they just seemed by whim. In my Other job, I am very familiar with music on a professional level. But the well-performed selections had zero to do with the person who was either being awarded, or the person who was introducing. Just lame-o for something that could have, with better thought, been done better. I missed the 'jaws' thing - I'll have to watch it again. (We TIVO'd it to ffwd over comercials and incidentals.)The_Kitchen_Guy said:Scott, at the risk of sounding like I'm defending the Academy (I'm not,) the music selections were all Oscar winners from the past, that's why they had nothing to do with the current movie or stars. I wish I had kept a list of all the tunes played, but offhand, I remember the haunting theme from Laura and Tara's Theme (from Gone with The Wind.) I did like how they cut off the speeches with the theme from Jaws.
The 2019 Oscars show faced several mishaps, including a lack of host, technical difficulties, and a major mistake during the award for Best Picture.
The mistake during the Best Picture award was attributed to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the accounting firm responsible for tabulating the results and handing out the envelopes.
The decision to go without a host was made after Kevin Hart stepped down from the role due to controversy surrounding past homophobic tweets.
Many viewers felt that the show lacked cohesion without a host to guide the evening's events. The lack of a monologue and comedic bits also left the show feeling less entertaining.
It is uncertain if the Oscars will have a host in the future. The Academy has stated that they are open to the idea of going without a host again, but there may also be efforts to find a suitable host for future shows.
