Oscars 2013

I was just thinking about how the Oscars may have lost a bit of their magic.  Or is that just me?  I guess I sort of miss when they only had 5 movies to choose from for best picture.  It seems like having 9 or more contenders for best picture sort of cheapens the ceremony in some way.  On the other hand, it can be looked at as a positive thing because at least they've broken out of an old routine and chosen to try something different.  This started just a few years ago from what I can recall.  Unfortunately, my TV channels weren't working this year, and I was desperately trying to find a live feed of the Oscars online, which took a good 45 minutes to an hour to successfully do.  I missed best actor and best supporting actress.  :-/.  Anyway, I'm going to get back to some school work I was doing earlier.
