We all snark-watch or bitch-watch the Oscars. It's fun to talk back to the screen and tweet about whatever. But for me, the 95th Academy Awards (AMC, 3.12) will be a hate-watch. I've been watching the show since I was 9 or thereabouts, and year after year I've always felt enthused, touched, occasionally wowed. I adored the Polanski Oscars (75th Academy Awards, 3.23.03). The Best Picture screw-up at the end of the 2017 Oscars was fantastic; ditto Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. But I'm actually dreading the EEAAO Oscars. Truly dreading them.
