A bit of an old story, but...I think his point at the end about hiring based on a quota or talent is key.

One of my favorite Oscars!

 

"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go."

"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes."

"When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is."

Ohhhh yea! This episode was one of the relationship, calm setup for later shows ones but next week's promises plenty of violence!

I don't know what the show's producers were thinking. He just doesn't have enough experience being onstage. In some of the clips I watched this morning, you could see his eyes darting back and forth as he read the teleprompter. Well, at least he was more entertaining than James Franco. I think it's been determined he was the worst (co)-host ever.

I don't like 'em either but the wife & my son wanted to watch so it was a double whammy negative night for me (except i did get to watch Walking Dead so the evening wasn't a total waste).

Me neither nor am I a big movie fan so that is a double reason not to watch. I actually love all of Seth's shows but don't think he is a good fit for host of Oscars is that what they still call it? (I haven't watched since the 70s).  However I do watch a little of the Independent movie awards sometimes on IFC just cause it is more interesting and crude which is right up my alley!

He's the creator of the Family Guy series. I agree he was pretty bad. His demeanor reminded me of a smarmy game-show host. I only tuned in for about 20 minutes. I'm not a big fan of awards shows anyway.

Seth MacFarlane was a total screw-up as oscar host, all his jokes were terrible and that whole broadcast was painful to watch. Never heard of the guy before, wish I'd never heard of him after.

saw Argo on saturday. it was good.

I am completely happy with Daniel Day Lewis' and Jennifer Lawrence's well-deserved Oscars.
 
And now I will have to see Argo. (Way to GO, Ben!)
 

 
Did anyone notice how Renee Zellweger looked over-medicated or drunk or both? That was kinda scary. I thought she just might topple over.
