The 92nd annual Academy Awards ceremony was held Sunday, February 9, 2020, at the Dolby Theatre® at Hollywood & Highland Center® in Hollywood, and was televised live on ABC. There was no host again this year, but several celebrities provided their skills to move the show along.

While it is fashionable for some (many?) to bash on the Oscars as self-indulgent, too long, and ultimately out of touch with what types of movies people really enjoy, I have always looked forward to watching it every year. It's kind of an occupational requirement, but even if I weren't publishing a movie site, I think I would still follow the nominations, and watch the awards ceremony.

Unlike the Super Bowl, which a championship game between two teams, the Oscars ceremony is a celebration of all the movies that came out the previous year, and a celebration of the art of filmmaking. The In Memoriam segment pays tribute to those in the industry that have passed, and I always find it a poignant reminder of the legacy that movies have in our lives. Perhaps some don't care about any of that and just want to be entertained and have their senses stimulated in every moment. For them, YouTube is still always there for them.

This year's ceremony really seemed to emphasize diversity in many ways. While some would say that it is a reflection of the world we now live in, others will be quick to point out the lacking diversity of certain groups in the actual nominations (an obvious point which was mentioned several times by various presenters).
