Will it make a difference? Absolutely not. And ratings wise? Even though ABC is scrambling to come up with rationalizations and excuses, the show had the worst ratings ever - which was bad news when 3 money making films were vying for Best Picture, and mostly, I suspect, because of Chris Rock.Dave Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429379083970699093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-23672315570594199322016-03-01T03:44:22.260-05:002016-03-01T03:44:22.260-05:00Thanks for this 'best bits' post, for some...Thanks for this 'best bits' post, for someone who didn't bother to get out of bed at 2 a.m. to watch it.<br /><br />Although I myself would have given the 'Best Picture' award to 'Bridge of Spies' I do feel great satisfaction at its having been won by 'Spotlight'. Anything that turns the, erm, spotlight on this dreadful and continuing gross scandal, and makes the R.C. Church squirm is worthwhile in my books. (I wonder what the 'official' Vatican view of this film is.) <br />We had on the news only yesterday the former Australian Archbishop of Melbourne giving evidence by video link from Rome on his alleged cover-up of an abusive priest, because he, now a Cardinal, was in too delicate a condition to travel to Australia. Oh, the poor man! We do, every one of us, hope he recovers his strength quickly.
