So far so good, Seth Macfarlane has done a good job so far.

Seth MacFarlane is the creator/writer of Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, the Movie TED and others.

He also has a CD where he sings--and he has a very good voice too.

That must be why I don't find him funny. I don't get Family Guy or American Dad.

Have read a couple of blurbs on several news sites saying that some of the actors/actresses and some academy folks weren't too happy with some of the jokes last night. Seemed pretty harmless to me, but I guess some took a little offense.

I'm sure the song about the b**b's was one of them. Pretty lame to point
the finger to whom has exposed her upper self in front of the camera.
It's not funny for men, and even less for women. So my to that.

When jokes involve religion and sex, things go south quickly.


That aside, Jennifer Hudson hit some notes that sounded glorious in my
system; she's not my cup of tea, but man, can she sing? If anyone recorded
it, this probably was the highlight of the night for me. For some reason
Adele's Skyfall didn't sound too good - at times the orchestra sounded a lot
more than her.

Well, given the paucity of postings on AA right now, I am assuming most AAers are watching the Oscars right now
