Oscar 75: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

us, and we don't stop our jobs when the country goes to war. We all have a part to play in our society, as the people fighting for our country have chosen their part. Entertainers should not be criticized as doing something frivolous ... instead, they provide something we desperately need for our own sanity in such terrible times for our world ... that moment of escape, that brief time we can live in someone else's shoes, and experience a perspective on life we would have otherwise never have known. And we should enjoy the escape of one evening where those people gather together to honor the work that they do. Hollywood ... great job on Oscar 75.

As I mentioned though, I had two major disappointments on Oscar Night ... one for Scorsese, the other when Johnny Flynton lost Best Live Action Short Film. As followers of this column know, I've been profiling the Oscar experience this year by the film's director and writer, Lexi Alexander, and of course it was disappointing to not see her much deserving film go unrewarded. But she still was able to attend the Oscars, and in my final article in my Oscar Experience series, she will give us an inside look at the ceremony that we don't usually see, and we'll see what the Oscars were like for her. That's coming up in my next article very soon.
