There's a lot of exciting things to talk about regarding The Oscars this week. For one, I believe that it's one of the strongest years in recent memory. As much as I am looking forward to discussing this year's class of nominees, I felt the need to discuss one thing: I really didn't like the Oscar nomination announcement. It's usually an event lacking spectacle, but this year was marked by one unfortunate obstacle: the presenters. While they're more than worthy of the acclaim that they have gotten elsewhere, it seems like what this year's presentation lacked was a preparation. It showed, and it created something a bit condescending and awful, especially as The Academy wanted to be taken seriously with all of the nominees. It's not the worst thing to happen to The Oscars in recent years, but it's still a bad start to the final stretch of this Oscar season.
