Glad I didn't bother to watch, especially after learning they snubbed Jessica Walter - they can nominate Clint Eastwood for zipping his pants, but not a mention of Jessica??

 

Anthony Hopkins is one of the best actors around, and Academy voters do NOT like feeling pressured or having expectations put onto them, especially in a year of racial justice - I had seen some speculation he would pull an upset. I'm just sorry they screwed around Chadwick's loved ones that way. 

 

The Glenn Close bit was a delight.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was the Academy thumbing its noses at the last several years. I wish it had gone the other way though. Initially I misread a tweet saying Steven Yeun had won as well, and was so happy for about ten seconds. But he has a strong career going forward anyway.

Final numbers for the Oscars were 2.1 in the demo and 10.4 million total viewers. Surprisingly the higher quarter-hour was 2.3 and the lowest was a 2.0, so the viewership was relatively stable in spite of the poorly received ceremony. Just not that many people were watching in the first place!

Wow, I just saw the In Memoriam on Youtube and...... what the hell was that?!

Much, much too fast and the song didn't help at all. The pictures went by so fast I almost got dizzy.

And, no disrespect to anyone else, but they should have ended it with Dame Olivia de Havilland. Even though there were many great stars who passed away last year, she was one of the greatest icons in cinema history.

    • Today was amazing, for so many reasons. Others have complained certain stories are dragging and others have rightly pointed out, the show only premiered THREE MONTHS AGO! Yes, the caps are dramatic, but I think they seize the moment appropriately. I have watched more than a few soap opera debuts. BTG, is by far, the best, first three months of a show, I have ever seen. MVJ, rightly, found the best in the business to avoid as my pitfalls as they could, to get the show settled quickly. They have found their footing. Is it perfect, no, but is it as close to excellence I've seen this quickly, yes. I loved today's scenes, particularly with Anita. That voice reading the letter, sounded like June

      to me.
    • GH has to be the only soap that still has a courtroom set and I appreciate that as I love courtroom drama on soaps.
    • Ahh ok, that makes sense. Gosh, I didn't remember Frances passing in 1994. I thought she was with us longer than that. She was such a sweet lady and character. Yes, so good and I'm so happy there is a quality version online. I looked it up and AMC won the Best Directing Emmy for 1994, so I have to assume they submitted these episodes. I'm not sure how to find out to confirm, but would only make sense. I still get chills watching it because I remember it so vividly as a 10 year old. Of course the drama of it all to see what happens to your favorite characters pre-spoiler days, but I grew up in the Midwest so tornadoes were a real, scary thing that. We had monthly tornado drills in school, so this made it seem very real to me.
    • Speaking of slaps, there's the infamous Ed slapping daughter Michelle during the Maryanne Carruthers mess in 2003.

    • Tracy’s tossed-off line to Drew about being out of ketamine made me LOL. I feel like some funny gay guy is writing her one-liners lately.
    • Yes, I am aware of the ballyhoo about Michigan. But, I still do not understand & I will  endeavor to explain why. Do some of us think it was a real place in Michigan, because not thing ever gave me such an idea. I thought we all knew it was a fictional location & I am positive that Irna meant it to be just that.  
    • It has come up in this thread before that early on it was specified that Another World was set in Bay City, Michigan, but somewhere along the line the references shifted to Illinois-ish.    I have tried and failed to find any specific clear reference to Michigan, although there have been some circumstantial details that suggest Bay City is not in Illinois. i notice that the AW Bible begins by describing the location as simply "not far from Oakdale", but things do change (the bible calls Pat Cynthia) and we can't take that as pure canon.    
    • At this point (and I've changed my tune several times), I'd fully rest the Cassadine family at this point.
