![]() ![]() I thought Al Pacino was intoxicated or mentally impaired, the way he handled his category of best motion picture. My only complaint was about the last awards presentation. Nothing felt rushed, nor did I feel anything dragged on too long. TIME PASSED BY QUICKLY FOR ME, thanks to the even and steady pacing of the show. I enjoyed all the song nominations and especially appreciated that the artists came and performed their songs on stage. Jimmy’s skit with John Cena was a perfect moment it was a funny bit, plus it certainly had people talking about it for a couple of days, besides seeing clips plastered all over social media. The only surprise I felt was in the best actress category, simply because there was so much talk about it. In the past, I would sometimes get upset with the Academy’s picks, but this year none of the winners disappointed me. It was such a touching and loving gesture. I absolutely loved the way the producers had groups of past acting winners come out and each one introduced a nominee I thought it was a wonderful idea, especially if one of the presenters was familiar with their assigned nominee. Each celebrity did an excellent job keeping things fun and light. However, I thought the playing back and forth with people he called out in the audience went without a hitch. The monologue went on a little longer than it needed to, in my opinion. His opening skit, sitting with Barbie, was the perfect icebreaker that created a lighthearted show. Jimmy is dependable, funny, quick on his feet and does not come with an agenda exactly what a host should be. There was not the usual anxiousness about how a new host would manage the responsibilities. KNOWING THE HOST WAS JIMMY KIMMEL brought a sense of comfort. Gratefully, I sat down with my predictions list and a pen a couple of minutes before the main show began. I was glad I had earlier set up both segments to be recorded. The television was already turned on to the station that was telecasting the show, but I had to miss watching the red-carpet arrivals. With ten minutes to spare, I washed the last of the dishes and was brushing my teeth. My stress level skyrocketed as I raced around the house trying to finish everything I had planned for the day. Suddenly, I was behind schedule I still had to bake a dessert and prep dinner so it would be ready to go into the oven. Already having pushed the clock ahead one hour and now the show was starting an hour earlier, I was cramped for time. It was sometime around 2 pm, when I sat down to read the Sunday newspapers, I discovered the Oscars’ telecast was starting one hour earlier. ![]() My morning went as planned I worked out first then came home to make lunch. ![]() I had my usual chores of laundry and meal planning for the week, besides running to the health club for a pre-Oscars workout. THIS PAST SUNDAY, EVERYTHING WAS GOING well until it was not. ![]()
