The Academy Awards this year was boring or is it just me?

Ellen wasn't funny and her eyes kept blinking rapidly as if she hasn't slept in days.

Also, I remember every Academy Awards in the past few years had a montage of previous films, both nominated and winners, at the beginning of the awards before the award's host came on stage.

This year they had nothing.



(We had the TV on right from the beginning starting with the pre-award red carpet show and I don't remember seeing such montage.

I only remember the voice over live from Dolby Theater and then Ellen came on stage)
