Was it just me, or were the Oscars like the longest episode of "American Idol" ever? First, Ryan Seacrest interviewed all the contestants—oops, make that nominees—on the red carpet. Then, the stage was suspiciously similar to the circular "Idol" platform, and the live show began with a musical number from host Hugh Jackman. The first winner was announced by a panel, though unfortunately Paula Abdul wasn't on it. And at some point in the evening, Jackman appeared with Beyonce, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens to cover a strange assortment of Broadway tunes.
Glad Slumdog won though, for reasons detailed here. Unlike prior years, we only saw one of the nominees and that was it. The others played here briefly before their nomination and were gone, or banished to impossibly late start times for parents of two.
Quick, what won last year? Yeah, me neither.
