Is it me or are these Ocars DRAGING?

[chuckstevens]

Mostly technical awards, music presentations...

[WhiskeyGrinder]

1. That's...what the Oscars are.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. They always do the technical stuff early, save the Best Actor/Actress

and Best Picture for last. That way people who are interested in the bog awards are stuck watching the ads all evening.

3. I'm watching a Mary Tyler Moore marathon.

[Raine]

17. That's what I watched too

I really enjoyed it, I love Mary and the whole gang!

[WillowTree]

4. I haven't watched an awards show in years.

[superpatriotman]

5. They're dragging

It's not your imagination.

[Guilded Lilly]

6. Incredibly underwhelming. We turned them off early.

[marlakay]

7. Thank god for my ipad!

Whenever it gets boring....

[edbermac]

8. They save all the major stuff for last.

Picture, director, acting, after that only the diehards care who wins.

[frazzled]

9. Not since Andra Day and Common just hit the stage

with a group of activists. That was amazing.

[EffieBlack]

14. It certainly was amazing

I'm wiping away tears.

[Cha]

19. That does sound good!

I don't have a tv anymore, but I just saw a clip of Frances McDormand giving her acceptance speech and that was thrilling.. asking all the women to stand up; "first Meryl, 'cause then everyone else will"! lol

20. I loved the Oscars last night

Thay were great

[Kirk Lover]

10. First of all the Oscars always tend to drag here and there. But NO WAY this is the most

POWERFUL Oscars in years....much is being said. Ya know what the arts/movies/music are liberal and ya know what...we're going to be LIBERAL..and the Oscars tonight are the most liberal I've ever seen it.

11. No, it's not just you. You'd think for the 90th

awards milestone, it'd be a lot more interesting. Kimmel isn't really doing all that great a job, as much as I like him. And they need to cut out about half of these awards, I've been saying that for years as I've been watching them every year for over forty years. If they're not going to do that, they can at least put more of the "heavier" awards in the front of the show. They've been told this for years and years and never ever do anything about it. It's annoying.

[UTUSN]

12. Um, I've got no particular place to go... so...

[EffieBlack]

13. You must have written this before Common and Andra Day n/t

[Laffy Kat]

15. It is why I don't watch.

All fluff and commercials. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in all the women's gowns, but I can see those on line tomorrow. I'm by no means a fashionesta, so what is about their gowns I find so fascinating?

[SharonClark]

16. I really enjoyed it this year and was surprised to note it ran 45 minutes over.

Lots of powerful women and good comedy. I''ve seen all the nominated movies and actors; I'm always surprised how the awards shake out. I don't really care who wins, I just appreciate the talent that does into making them.

[Buns_of_Fire]

18. Needs more wardrobe malfunctions. nt

[Cha]

21. Buns! I hear they had

a few.. just not the way you may be thinking..

Lindsey Vonn and Salma Hayek top the list of worst-dressed stars at the Oscars
