Ignore the hours and hours of pre-Oscar TV coverage, tune in at 8 P.M. for the opening musical number by Queen, then change the channel immediately afterward. Just sayin'.

I haven't watched the Oscars for years, ever since they became political platforms for some "stars".
I don't understand Why the stars think we give a ####! about their opinions?

I will tune in for Queen. I hope Rami wins best actor. He did an amazing job as Freddie Mercury. I won’t watch the whole thing though. Will check the news to see.

I heard that Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper were supposed to perform as well. Overall, I don't watch too much of the show, because I don't see many movies during the year.
But I do like the coverage before the Oscars, because that's when you get to see all the fashions on the Red Carpet. That's a fun diversion from the daily routine . . .
Well, my plans fell through and I did not get to watch Queen. I read they did We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. Seems like an odd choice seeing as how Bohemian Rhapsody was the name of the movie and arguably their most famous song, so I was thinking that would be the obvious choice of song, but what do I know?

I tune in because it's funny to laugh at Hollywood.
It's a sin that Bohemian Rhapsody won as many categories as it did and that The Favourite won one. And that Black Panther won Original Soundtrack over Isle of Dogs. And that they rudely cut off the Spider-Verse folks but let people who clearly had no idea what to say stay up there considerably longer. And that they gave as much time to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's garbage "comedy" routine as they did. And that Suspiria wasn't nominated for anything.
But hey, other than that, it was pretty good, it was. I mean, it just wouldn't be as entertaining if it wasn't a complete self-righteous disaster, that's what I watch it for! Still, no host was way better than Jimmy Kimmel as host.

While I didn't get to see it all, I watch for really one reason...the fashion. I really don't care who is wearing it and don't need to hear all of the interviews or speeches, but view it more as walking art. The Eli Saab Haute Couture gown worn by Michelle Yeoh was the only thing I really liked...unless you count what Melissa McCarthy wore for handing out Best Costume Design. Hey, what can I say? I appreciate a person who can pull off a train covered in plush bunnies.
So out of curiosity I did a google search for the bunny dress. Now that is funny.

I loved the opening performance--they got the crowd up on their feet. Didn't see too much of the Oscars beyond that.

My guess: Too long and too difficult, unless very edited, and then why bother?
I watched. It was fine. Better with a host.
Yeah, probably too complex and too long to pull off as an opening number. Would have been interesting though.
I wonder how John Deacon is feeling about not being a part of any of this?
