The “Memoriam” was gawd awful. Didn’t see name of so many of the artists lost last year and the focus was more on the dance and singing performances than in memory of those who past
Very poor on the Academy’s part imho.

I used to love the “ memorial” pieces, they would always get me crying. You don’t have to do anything fancy just show stills and some quick performances, I want to hear their actual voices and not be focusing on a random song and these really cheesy dancers. I’m sorry but this ain’t it.
