For the first time ever, it's Conan O'Brien. I approve, but I could have sworn he's done it before.

Well, this is fine - but does anyone really care anymore?
One certainly doesn't like older people talking about how great it was 30 years ago, but in this case - it was. Well I won't say great, I'll just say, The Oscars were a big deal then.
ANd this goes all the way back to being a little boy. At that point, the Academy Awards were as big as the Super Bowl.
Seems no one gives a sh*&^%$t anymore.
PS - The only way I knew the Oscars, this year, had even been broadcast is because the next day, while on Quora - I see this absurd still of John Cena stark naked. One thought, Jesus, what an idiot, he's just made a fool of himself for all eternity - well, maybe its just some kind of prank. Then I find out later it was part of the Academy Awards show. How much further can you sink???
I think the John Cena thing was to poke fun of costume design.
shareFine - however, it isn't anything one would expect to see on what is supposed to be an elegant, serious event like the Academy's. It just proves, whoever produces the Academy Awards is at their wits end.
First that phony Will Smith/Chris ROck event. Then John Cena.
ANything to get people to notice. In fact, it worked - as I said, one didn't even know the Academy's had been broadcast until I saw the John Cena still.
It hasn't been elegant since they gave Roman Polanski an Oscar.
shareThe Oscars mean little or nothing anymore
