The Oscars have come and gone again, and it still feels like yesterday when the nominations were announced. They were again, back in the month of March where they really belong. ABC presented as they always do, and they took the time to pimp out their primetime schedule (especially “V”).

By the way ABC, stop reminding everyone that it is the final season for “Lost.” We all know that by now!

We finally went back to “and the winner is” instead “and the Oscar goes to…” Why the change? Was it because people now remember that “and the Oscar goes to” started during the worst Oscar ceremony ever produced by Alan Carr? At least that stayed in our minds longer than the memory of Rob Lowe singing with Snow White (excuse me while I cringe uncontrollably).

But when it was all done, the big question was how long did you stay awake? Truth is that this year’s Oscars, while having their moments, felt like the most lifeless in recent memory. After last year’s reinvigorated proceedings, this ceremony threatened to feel dead on arrival.
