Let's be honest here

The Oscars suck nowadays. There's not much excitement or thrill on who is going to win or be nominated anymore. Honestly, when Will Smith hitting Chris Rock is considered the highlight of this year's ceremony, it just goes to show how mediocre and superficial it really is. You're better off just watching the highlights rather than sitting through the entire thing.

5/10.
