Given it is a vote of members, one would think the awards are legitimately calculated. I will say Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody made the film interesting but the strength of the film was the original studio produced songs well presented in a modern theater setting. This was especially true for someone like me who never saw them in person, primarily due a lack of interest at the time. Finally, the absence of a powerhouse host such as Billy Crystal or Steve Martin had a negative impact on the show even though the ratings were up from last year. Maybe the academy could go back to their roots and use one of many well respected actors who are often not in attendance these days.rjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025728540081089210noreply@blogger.com
