And the Oscar doesn't go to ...

This year's Oscar telecast turned out to be the lowest rated in its history -or, rather, recorded history. Ratings for the big show first started coming in in 1974. No big surprises there. Ratings have been decling for years, and the lack of blockbuster films in the nomination pool meant fewer people were invested in who won.
The Oscar producers did what they could to draw a crowd, trying to appease those darn flyover states to no avail. Check out my recap here at FrontPage Magazine.

Hey, a thought came to me last night ... seriously. From last night's flick, you know what running joke they missed? The washing machine ... like, they traded away the washing machine, shouldn't there have been a running gag about the uniforms stinking?

"Semi-Pro" had a lot of missed opportunities. That's a good example of one.
