I think they're finally getting embarrassed by their poor judgement in awarding oscars in this category. Scorcese finally got his ... but Kubrick, Hitchcock and Fellini never got theirs
(Though, Fellini, I believe, did finally get a lifetime achievement award --GEEESE!). Did Bergmann ever get one?But then again, the oscars have never geen about "merit." Awarding an oscar has always been about the perceived financial payoff to the Hollywood community.
This year's oscars looked smaller, less "star"-like, and more trivial than in many decades past.
Maybe the story about Nicholson saving his head for a move role was just a cover story. Maybe he was PROTESTING!
Please, oh please, bring back Billy Crystol!!!! Degeneris was the WORST host since Letterman. (Poor Dave! He though he could turn the oscars into "The Late Show." Ouch! I say Give Letterman another chance! Banish Degeneris (she has NO Hollywood credentials), and Woopie should be under a retraining order requiring her immediate arrest if she gets within 5 miles of the oscars. If you can't get Crystol, get Steve Martin -- or try someone entirely new. Conan O'Brien, anyone?
