This is bad, I had my head in my hand with my eyes closed in disbelief. Who is this for?
Most award shows instil a confidence in the audience. “Hey, Daft Punk won a Grammy, that’s been on my workout iPod for months! I win at music!” Or rooting for an actor to win an Oscar for a role still haunting your dreams (I’m looking at you Brent Spiner! ) What confidence does this instil in anyone? Has anyone ever said with a straight face, “Fucking-a, I knew Nyan cat was gonna get it. That award done belong to you, Gungnam Style!”?
The general feeling here is no one really wants to be there. The host is annoying and loud, no doubt coached on by a producer in a flawed attempt at enthusiasm. People sit stone face as Scumbag Steven runs up an aisle way. The sound of laughter could be equated to mass indigestion. When everyone in the room is exuding thought waves of “oh god how long will this last just end…” it pours out of video in the speeches and the body language.
