What is up with all these montages? Chuck Workman did one a decade or two back that did kind of stir you in its evocation of decades of film history in five or six minutes, but that's no reason to do it every damn year. The idea, of course, is to get you all nostalgic about film, to say, 'Gee, you know, movies really are magic; I think I'll go to the movies every week!'

Except, well, if you're watching the Oscars, you're quite likely already a film fan, so they're just preaching to the choir here. All these things do is prolong an already overlong production.

Again, Stewart seems to agree: "I can’t wait till later when we get Hollywood’s salute to montages."
