Fantastic Voyage
Oh wow! I haven’t seen that since 1967 in El Paso TX! First real wide screen theater I was ever in! Now I think of it, it was also the ONLY truly wide screen theater I’ve ever been in!
Good choices. I watched Lawrence of Arabia.
To be honest with you, I haven’t watched an Oscar show since I was a kid. I think Bob Hope was before my time, but I do remember Billy Crystal. I’m pretty sure both of them could carry the job on the strength of their wit alone.

In the 1980s, Joe Bob Briggs concluded that there are too many damn talk shows because the only people left for them to interview were other talk show hosts.
And it’s still true.
lolz
so true
I highly recommend you try to find some video of Hope hosting...
Very clever and classy...
A famous joke of his goes “Welcome to the Oscars....or, as we call it in our house: Passover....”....very funny, no?
Only four of the Oscars go to actors. It’s mostly a trade show to honor people who never get the spotlight otherwise - and to teach people about film.
There is a big difference between tuning in and watching. When the real numbers come in how many viewers actually stayed to the end of this liberal love fest.
PS: Good walking dead episode.
LOL, yes
Thanks for the recommend. I’ll check Youtube.
uuuuhhhhhh....there was nothing else on TV and it is stay-at-home weather in huge portions of the US.
The Oscars are always highly rated.
