I caught the end of the Oscars. Funny, growing up it seemed such a monumental event. In 1960, almost half of America watched the then Academy Awards, Sunday night only 5% watched the Oscars. The show was once a cultural event, such that you can ever say American culture. Certainly, it was an overwhelming display of technological power. In 1960, there were only three television channels and film production and distribution remained controlled by a handful of oligopolistic Hollywood corporations.
