Ebert reviews the Oscarcast

Roger Ebert's review:
King wins, Oscar loses: My coverage of a baaaad Oscarcast.

Again, I have to say this was the worst Oscarcast I've seen, and I go back a while. Some great winners, a nice distribution of awards, but the show? Dead. In. The. Water.

But Ebert has a compliment for Randy Newman:

Randy Newman won for the best song Oscar for "We Belong Together," a title that might describe the many of the works that received his 19 previous nominations.
