Ellen was entertaining, if in a frieindly, safe, way. Doing that without being boring must be a challenge but I thought she pulled it off. The production quality was fine with no overly produced segments that were over the top. All of the presenters were gracious and did not draw attention away from the nominees. Personal politics were kept to a minimum and were not malicious in any way.
The Pilobolus dancers were excellent. Even the musical segments were kept subtle, but the Dreamgirls numbers did go on too long. All in all it was a smooth, enjoyable viewing experience that showcased the film industry, which is exactly what it's supposed to do. I don't know what all the criticism is all about, but it's starty to feel a little stuffy in here.

I thought Seinfeld's snarky intro was a total non-sequitur and annoying as hell.
This was one of the better Oscar shows for me. 'Course, I don't expect much.
The Oscar show is just too big and diverse a telecast to be wonderful for 3+ hours. If it can't be brilliant, at least it can be more or less humane...which it was with Ellen.

      represent the vast majority of film goers. I am something of a snob myself, and I'm not planning to go to see Norbit, but the Norbit viewers are the vast majority. Plus, I like movies in general, as I feel you do, while many of the posters here dislike movies in general.
      This show held very few surprises, and the aura of self-congratulation puts me off. When I used to be able to hear Howard Stern, I loved the way he mercilessly made fun of the entertainment crowd for getting together and giving each other awards, seemingly every week.
      For all that, I watched them, I mostly enjoyed them and I will always watch them.

        You can STILL hear Howard, just get Sirius! He did in fact have lots of hysterical comments on the Oscars. Today alone was worth the $12.95 this month.
