After the Hathaway/Franco fiasco, they swung too far in the opposite direction. Crystal's humor just feels dated.
I think next year they should try Ricky Gervais, Alec Baldwin (again), Chris Rock (again), or maybe Tina Fey. I think Joel McHale would be great too.

Hence my headline. The Catskills are now just a place in New York where you have a summer home if you can't afford the Hamptons.

Here's an idea: next year, just mail the Oscars out to the winners.

American Idol was rejuvenated by Steven Tyler; perhaps they should get David Lee Roth, Sammy Haggar, or Ted Nugent. (And a tape delay/bleep system.)
The wife had it on, I didn't watch but had to listen. Billy's jokes were all lame. The repartee between the presenters sounded scripted and was beyond lame.

I always seem to find something better to do than listen to people in the industry tell each other how great they are.
