AFTER THE OSCARS

Looks like lacking a host and making last minute changes to the ceremony should happen every year. The show moved along nicely, there was more diversity on the stage, among presenters and winners, than ever in Oscar history, and though I disagree with several of the awards results, all in all much better show than I expected (loved that Bette's voice was perfect and the ending of the duet with Cooper and Gaga was surprisingly poignant and just about perfect, and the opening Queen set was mostly terrific and started the show off with power and joy, and despite missing people the "in memoriam" segment was dignified and included more categories of people who contribute to making movies than ever before...I mostly enjoyed the show...
