Every year I enjoy watching the Oscars. Some years I record it and watch it later without the commercials. Last night we watched it live. I enjoyed the three female hostesses. All of them are talented in their own right. The dresses and tuxes are great to see too.
The tribute to those who passed away was well done. The choir was a nice change.
Then, Chris Rock came on. He's always a little over the top but tonight Will Smith's reaction will be one of the most watched clips. I saw Jada's reaction but what Will did was unforgivable. Thanks to the PVR, we replayed it a few times and my lip reading filled me in. I did get a copy of it on You Tube (see below, if you are interested in listening to his vulgar remarks). He should be charged with assault, but you know if you have money you can get away with anything. If it was an unknown person who punched Chris Rock, security would have apprehended the offender and called the police. Donald Trump said it. He could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. Money and fame is all you need in the US to act without consequence.
I was very sorry to see Liza Minelli in a wheel chair. I thought Lady Gaga looked fantastic. We only went to the movies four times this year and saw West Side Story, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, No Time to Die and House of Gucci. We have Netflix so I'll watch The Power of the Dog. We will probably wait for the others to come to Netflix or Prime.
It will be interesting if Will Smith will pay for his temper tantrum. Personally, I hope he's held accountable for his despicable behavior. Chris Rock handed it very well.
