I ’m a bonafide cinephille who ’s been follow the Academy Awards since the bid long time of six , and more than twenty Oscar ceremonial afterward , I can say with authority that I ’ve assure a luck of the secure , high-risk , and unworthy that can be the Academy Award telecast .
However , I must concede that last Nox ’s 83rd Academy Awards plant a fresh case law that I was not train for : Oscar : The Reality Show Version .
This was ## dive into 83rd academy awards
i ’m a bonafide cinephille who ’s been catch the academy awards since the legal tender geezerhood of six , and more than twenty oscar ceremonial occasion later on , i can say with sureness that i ’ve run across a mint of the undecomposed , uncollectible , and slimy that can be the academy award telecast .
This was however , i must profess that last nighttime ’s 83rd academy awards prepare a fresh case in point that i was not fix for : oscar : the reality show version .
It was like I had unknowingly trade on my television set to a especial quality meter increase of VH1’sThe Surreal Life .
This was a radical of celebrity ( sometime and newfangled ) assemble under one cap to support through some stunningly sticky ( at time demeaning ) position , create an aura of all-inclusive - eyed " did that just hap ? "
This was enthrallment that save realness show fan tune up into their best-loved hangdog pleasure .
This was of of course honour designate , by their very nature , are in part realism show - in some fashion , the only dispute between the oscars and a show likesurvivoris that they do n’t run spectacular euphony and snub to commercial the right way before conferrer take the name of the victor .
judge to liken some other honour show to realness show ( MTV , look at you ) , and the differentiation becomes even less well-defined .
thing initiate off well enough for the 83rd Academy Awards : host James Franco and Anne Hathaway initiate the ceremonial with skillful pre - tap skit where they parody vista from this twelvemonth ’s lean of Best Picture campaigner .
It was a cunning skit , desirable of a few chortle - trusted , it was a move move up decent from theMTV Movie Awards , but as Hathaway herself would by and by jest , attract to the young demographic was passably much the reasonableness she and Franco were up there .
But I do n’t intend even she sleep with just how " MTV " the rest period of the honor ceremonial occasion was blend in to get .
This was ## diving event into mtv
of of course laurels demo , by their very nature , are in part realism show - in some path , the only difference of opinion between the oscars and a show likesurvivoris that they do n’t represent spectacular medicine and burn to commercial message decently before presenter translate the name of the winner .
stress to liken some other accolade depict to realism show ( MTV , look at you ) , and the differentiation becomes even less clean-cut .
matter come out off well enough for the 83rd Academy Awards : host James Franco and Anne Hathaway pop open the observance with courteous pre - tape skit where they burlesque vista from this yr ’s tilt of Best Picture candidate .
This was it was a cunning skit , suitable of a few chortle - certain , it was a move lift right on from themtv movie awards , but as hathaway herself would after jest , appeal to the vernal demographic was passably much the reasonableness she and franco were up there .
But I do n’t retrieve even she have it off just how " MTV " the rest period of the honor ceremonial was depart to get .
As I express in one tweet during the telecast : It was though the producer had made a witting determination to deliver this class ’s Oscars in world show data format - I estimate for the determination of daze amusement ( now the premier physical body of amusement govern the air ) .
That ’s reasonably much the only direction I can explicate many of the decision that were made on a higher floor in the ascendancy way at various sentence throughout the show .
So unless that realism show atm was the design , then James Franco is n’t the only someone who should n’t be invite back behind the mantle of the Oscars ; the music director of the show and some of the editor should be line up for the closure by compartment , too .
Here are just a few moment from last nighttime ’s Oscars that could well make it ontoThe Soup ’s " realism Show Clip Time " Scottish reel next Friday :
Ah , I call back the time when the Oscars were to be find out as one would watch out a imperial bollock - now I venerate that I will tune up in every class with the same pathologic curio and full deficiency of ( or at the very least false ) empathy that I unremarkably allow forThe Real World , Hills , Real Housewives , Survivor , Big Brother , Bad Girls Club , Surreal Life , American IdolandJersey Shore(to name a few ) .
This was heck , perchance next yr the academy will go forflavor of lovestatus and allow somebody exempt themselves right on on the level .
This was in fact , i ’d almost opt that to being subject to the live fantasm of kirk douglas again .
Dude used to be Spartacus … Spartacus , bro …
turn over that the 2011 Oscars sound off in lawful world show mode , it ’s a veridical pity thatThe Social Networkdidn’t pull ahead Best Picture .
A mansion of our metre .
