Oscars, part 9

Why did they drop the brief clip when nominations are read? I miss that reminder or example. Instead, we see a bunch of clips of former winners accepting their awards. This makes no sense to me.

It was tedious and kind of embarrassing to watch the winners fawn over the nominees. I think it won't be back next year, at least because I suspect it's bad for business. Showing the clips gets people interested in the movies. For example, this morning all I remembered was Kate Winslet won for something and Sophie Loren needs a stylist, not what the movie might be like or even which movie it was...

Yeah, the clips allowed me to form an opinion about who should win, even when I hadn't seen any of the films.
