Oscars Post-Mortem

Hosted by Kim Masters Mar. 01, 2012 Hollywood
Reflections on the lackluster vibe of the Oscars and banter over what the Academy could or would be willing to do to make the telecast more appealing to viewers.

Kim and John reflect on the lackluster vibe of the Oscars telecast and banter over what the Academy could do -- or would be willing to do -- to make the show more appealing to viewers. In breaking-down Billy Crystal's turn as host they debate whether a more edgy host would ever be offered the gig, or if someone like Tina Fey or Jimmy Fallon would be willing to do it.
