I watched the show on and off and really enjoyed the parts I watched. Seems like the format was more interesting with two hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin - pretty funny team. and then the presentation of nominees was more detailed and meaningful it seems.

Washington Post - an overview of Academy Awards 2010.

I like the last line:

I love Oscar nights, and I liked this one, but I'm never too invested in how the show came off. The whole idea that an Oscar show can be "great" is a flawed premise; no innovation could or should save it from its own wondrous outdatedness. But even when the ratings are low(ish), they are still high enough to constitute a moment, a thing that we always do, even when nobody ever does the same thing anymore.
That's Oscar night in America. They're all so thin and pretty. We're so fat and happy.
