My first opinion I overruled. I said:
Couldn't
bring myself to watch yet another meaningless awards ceremony
especially in the age of COVID. If you are to believe this opinion the
Oscars failed spectacularly. Wow what a good choice I made not to watch it. OVERRULED
MY FINAL ANSWER: Well,
I watched it as far be it from me to take my opinion from some other
source without making my own judgment. I was surprised that mostly I
liked it. I liked it because I tape it and can fast forward all the
rambling thank yous of people I do not know and commercials that waste
so much time. I cut out probably over an hour of impatience. Having
said that, the age of Covid Oscars were interesting.
I came upon the
end that has been much maligned because it cheated the deceased Chadwick
Boseman out of an Oscar many wanted him posthumously to get only to be
eclipsed by Anthony Hopkins who did not even show up. I see the anger
as Boseman was like a James Dean, an exceptional talent leaving this
earth and depriving us from viewing more artistic excellence. Having
said that, I am sure Hopkins performance surrounding Alzheimer's was
worthy of the award. Too bad he was not present to receive the honor.
Perhaps he did not realize he would win.
