I was hoping that A Night at the Garden would win the documentary short award: constructing a documentary purely out of archival footage, and relying on the original audio to make your point, rather than resorting to the mediocre filmmakers' escape route of a voiceover commentary interspersed with talking head interviews, was a brave thing to attempt and is very rarely done nowadays. And the subject matter is both little known and fascinating. At the risk of veering a little OT, the German-American Bund was also the inspiration for the neo-Nazis in The Blues Brothers.

What a horrible oscar year. Didnt even watch the beginning of the show. Just caught the last hour. Green Book for best pic is probably as bad as Crash winning. Let's face it. Even if the oscars make better choices with nominations, there aren't a lot of great movies out there.

Look at the disparity in movie quality with 25 years ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/66th_Academy_Awards

Movies like In the Name of the Father, Remains of the Day, The Piano, What's Love got to do with it, Philadelphia, Whats Eating Gilbert Grape, Jurassic Park(better than Black Panther) either didnt win or didnt even get nominated. It's a different matter altogether that the oscars inexplicably nominated Fugitive over Jurassic Park.

Or take the oscars from 20 years ago:
Peter Farrelly(GREEN BOOK)'s There's Something About Mary wasnt even nominated and it is a better movie than Green Book.
OK so Shakespeare in Love was a bad choice of a winner. Decent movie, but come on. However, look at the movies that year - Saving Pvt Ryan, Elizabeth, Life is Beautiful, Thin Red Line, Gods and MOnsters, Affliction, Amer History X, Truman Show, A Simple Plan, Primnary Colors, Hillary And Jackie.

Movies that were not only critically praised, but people actually knew what the hell those movies were!!!!

15 years ago: not as plentiful, but still better
City of God somehow didnt even get nominated and it was not only critically praised, but entertaining as hell.
LOTR-ROTK won. you hadLost in Translation and Mystic River. Mystic River makes that 3 Billboards movie from last year seem inconsequential by comparison. House oF Sand and Fog. You had the Cooler, 21 Grams, In America.

10 years ago:
meh, forget this year. This is the era where oscars got even more hit and miss.

5 years ago:
12 Years a Slave won. You had Wolf of Wall Street, American Hustle, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, Capt Phillips., Blue Jasmine nominated in different categories.

Terrible oscars. I havent seen Roma yet. But it alone cant save a poor year. At least the best actress winner had an entertaining speech.

For me, boring oscars comes down to not the winners, but the nomninee quality that creates the buzz. Glenn Close may have been good in her role, but how many people even heard of that movie, let alone watched it. Even the independent movies have been generally just meh recently.

And then you have the In memorium segment. I hate to sound morbid. But even this year's In Memorium was boring. For some reason, I felt there were more recognizable names that died that didnt make the segment. It's not like Oscars cant get rid of some time wasting silly montages earlier in the show and show a couple more minutes of dead actors.
