What a boring uneventful Oscar night. I’m sure there will be nothing to talk about as Bil Antoniou returns to the show after last appearing on episode 157: Best Films Through the Decades. We recap the 94th Academy Awards where CODA won Best Picture, Jane Campion won Best Director, Drive My Car won Best International Film and oh yeah Will Smith assaulted Chris Rock on live television. We discuss the what was supposed to be truncated broadcast that instead was longer than last years, how the trio of hosts did, the odd retrospectives and of course the actual winners.
