• I’m only shocked because I don’t have cable. Haven’t seen an awards show in decades, though I saw Will Smith wallop that little kid and I saw Ricky Gervais turn the entire crowd against him (except for Tom Hanks). It just shocks me when I see footage of such events, how shallow and obvious the corporate sponsorship has become, or maybe I was just less aware of it as a youngster. This was less of a complaint and more of a lamentation. You can see the oligarchies in the crowd.
