Not a year goes by without some sort of controversy and so it goes that the upcoming ceremony is no exception (more on that later). It is also bad enough hearing your film geek friends complain about how their favorite movie didn\u2019t even get a nomination (because you know they\u2019ll watch the Oscars anyway). So what is there to look forward to exactly? Turns out there quite a few reasons, actually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Chris Rock<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/default\/files\/uploads\/88thchrisrock2.jpg\" style=\"width: 725px; height: 580px;\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"rtecenter\">Photo credit: ABC<\/h6>\n<p>The comedian returns to host the Oscars ceremony for the second time since 2007, during which he courted controversy with his \u201cedgier\u201d than usual performance style. Jude Law and Denzel Washington jokes notwithstanding, Rock was one of the more entertaining personalities to guide the three hour stretch of the broadcast. And seeing as this has been a fairly controversial year for the Academy Awards (see item number four), we\u2019re really looking forward to how Rock will tackle this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. The Fashion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">\n<div class=\"iframe-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"giphy-embed\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"404\" src=\"\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/5yLgoco2XhKhW3k8Yik\" width=\"720\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Well\u2026 yeah. While admittedly not everyone gives a rat\u2019s toss about what J-Lo will be wearing this year, the topic of fashion does seem to get a lot of attention. So, what do we know? Will this year capitalize on flowing frocks (some of which could use more frock) and, more specifically, bowtie or necktie? Or no tie at all? Wonder why that red carpet YouTube clip got over thirty thousand views in one night? Fa-fa-fa-fashion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. See \u201cAnomalisa\u201d Win Best Animated Feature<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/default\/files\/uploads\/Anomalisa.jpg\" style=\"width: 725px; height: 408px;\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"rtecenter\">Photo credit: Paramount Pictures<\/h6>\n<p>In terms of Best Picture, it\u2019s a total crapshoot. There are some very worthy contenders up for the top award (although we\u2019d really, really like to see \u201cFury Road\u201d win). However, while there are some excellent nominations on the Best Animated Feature shortlist, \u201cAnomalisa\u201d not only deserves the win, but should have been nominated for Best Picture as well. The Charlie Kaufmann scripted, stop motion animated drama is a technical achievement and then some. In a lot of ways it is even more impressive than the more buzzed about \u201cThe Revenant\u201d that was filmed almost entirely with natural light.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. #Oscarssowhite<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alas, this is where we address the elephant in the room that has sparked the controversy haunting this year\u2019s Academy Awards. And, no, we\u2019re not talking about why-oh-why did \u201cThe Martian\u201d get nominated and not \u201cTangerine?\u201d (I kid. I liked \u201cThe Martian). This year has pointed a spotlight at the lack of diversity among the nominations. In turn this has sparked a great deal of response from articles to video feeds either being supportive of the notion that something needs to be done or against the idea that anything had to be changed in the first place. Wherever you stand on this, it will certainly be interesting to see how Hollywood addresses the issue come broadcast time\u2026 or if they\u2019ll bother to mention anything at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Who Will Accept Spike Lee\u2019s Honorary Oscar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">\n<div class=\"iframe-container\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Spike Lee on Oscars Outrage: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m Going to the Knicks Game&amp;#039;\" style=\"width:1280px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_kUV1zLdV0GI\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/kUV1zLdV0GI\/maxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kUV1zLdV0GI\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT6M44S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2016-01-20T17:40:42Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_kUV1zLdV0GI\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/kUV1zLdV0GI\/maxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Spike Lee on Oscars Outrage: &#039;I&#039;m Going to the Knicks Game&#039;<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kUV1zLdV0GI\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/kUV1zLdV0GI\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Spike Lee on Oscars Outrage: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m Going to the Knicks Game&amp;#039;\" width=\"1280\" height=\"700\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"The famed director explains why he is skipping the Oscars in protest of the lack of diversity among nominees.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:1280px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"rtecenter\">ABC News interview with Spike Lee on Oscar boycott.<\/h6>\n<p>There are so many reasons why we would be looking forward to the moment when Spike Lee delivers his honorary acceptance speech. Having been a polarizing figure since the release of \u201cShe\u2019s Gotta Have It\u201d way back in 1986, Lee is just as well known for his outspoken nature, especially when it comes to the lack of diversity in film. Ergo what will he have to say about the aforementioned #oscarssowhite controversy? Can he say anything more pointed about the subject that he\u2019s already said publically before?<\/p>\n<p>However, Lee plans to boycott the 88<sup>th<\/sup> Academy Awards (or maybe this wasn\u2019t his plan after all. See the video embed above). So who will accept his trophy for him and what will they have to say? Yet the main reason we\u2019re watching this on Oscar night? Simply, he deserves the recognition. Lee has come a long way since the day he exclaimed \u201cwe was robbed\u201d during the 1989 Oscars telecast. Normally one would chalk this up to sour grapes or, simply, being a sore loser on the iconoclastic auteur\u2019s part. However, that year saw the release of his galvanizing \u201cDo The Right Thing,\u201d arguably one of the best films of the 1980s if not one of the best films ever made. And yet it wasn\u2019t even nominated (Lee was, however, nominated for Best Original Screenplay. And co-star Danny Aiello was nominated for Best Supporting Oscar). What was the movie that won that year? The audience friendly \u201cDriving Miss Daisy,\u201d a title that really doesn\u2019t deserve to be featured in the same paragraph as \u201cDo The Right Thing\u201d let alone the same breath.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.

Sometimes these moments provide a certain amount of candor before the celebrities tighten up and get into performance mode waiting for their close ups during the actual broadcast. Also: sometimes you get some awesome examples of photo bombing, or, in this case, video bombing. Because you never know when Tom Hanks may pop up behind Freddie Redmayne and say something like \u201chey, I wore a dress in \u2018Bridge of Spies,\u2019 too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.

Do you think you deserve an award for that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.

Not just freedom of speech but also the ability to gamble on anything as long as it involves a collective pool and a rating chart. If we do this for football why not for the Oscars? If anything, we will derive a great deal of amusement watching our friends complain about the five dollars they lost even though they got something like twenty out of their thirty picks. What will not amuse us? Listening to the guy who wins every year bragging about his earnings at the office cooler the next day. The same guy who thought \u201cFantastic Four\u201d was the cinematic high point of 2015.<\/p>\n<p><em>The 88<sup>th<\/sup> Academy Awards will air live this Sunday, February 28<sup>th<\/sup> at 7pm EST on ABC.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Millions will be tuning in to this weekend&#8217;s broadcast of the Oscar&#8217;s ceremony.
