StrawberryBlond 14,685 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Seeing as the Oscars are tomorrow, I thought I'd take us on a trip down memory lane. The introduction ceremony to the 1989 Oscars is widely considered the worst in Oscar history. Even for the 80's, it truly is an overly tacky display. It was derided then and is even more derided now, although you will see many comments saying it's not that bad, although you know those same people would not say the same if it happened today. If you've never seen it, brace yourself: For some extra comedy, watch this on the 2x speed setting! You have to remember that only a year before, Rob Lowe had endured a sex scandal involving a 16-year-old girl, so his presence here was highly controversial, for those who aren't fully aware of the context. Here's a video explaining the whole ceremony and what went wrong. 2:10-2:15 is my favourite bit: Any more cringey ceremonies of note? Or does it not get any worse than this?
