He drives the economy into a ditch and we get an Oscars ceremony and telecast so pared down that it seems like an afterthought. The opening number seems like an outtake from a high school musical version of High School Musical. Dammit, I don't want mediocrity in my Oscar opening numbers, I want mind-numbingly awful. Although that Reader riff and the concluding song in the melody is coming close.
The speed-dating Red Carpet was sucky too. We get 15 seconds to hear banal answers to inane questions and gaze at the pretty clothes? Where was that one journalist asking Kate Winslet about doing nude scenes as we saw in 2007?
The Oscars are supposed to skirt close to being a train wreck. This just seems half-hearted. Oh well... I guess it's another reason to drink heavily tonight....

Embarassingly awful!!!!! Good Lord, there was no melody and the lyrics were just boring. Oh, I remember the days of the great Oscar opening number, so long ago now.
