Do presenters have an ear piece so the control room can talk to them?

[evett]

No. all they have is the teleprompter with the script they are supposed to read/take direction from.

[sandstorm]

Yep; I noticed it when Regina was doing her covid joke bit, a list of male names to call.

[frodo]

Maybe the hosts do? The presenters only have the teleprompter

[pumkinbutter]

Everyone talking about Will Smith and Chris Rock and no one is talking about Sir Anthony Hopkins stealthy fart during the Best Actress award presentation!

His smile after is very telling 😏💨

Bravo!

Jason Momoa also burped into the mic.

[ruby_chalice]

What in gods name happened this year? Burping, farting, slapping.

Something in the champers? 🍾🥂🥴

I like Meg but that I wanted to see the whole performance as it was in the movie lol.

Luis Fonsi and Becky G just singing like background singers literally makes no sense.

[momsapplelie]

They should have had her rap Delores part + some extra verses that were dropped in drafting/production and left it at that

[genbu_no_miko24]

Dolore's part is my fave part too!

[lisafrank0cean]

agreed.

that song in particular is like EVERYONE’S fave, so teasing in lieu of whatever that was…wasn’t it

[better2beloved]

Knowing the “joke” was ad libbed just makes it worse.

[genbu_no_miko24]

which is ironic cause I saw either Regina and Amy say a few days before the show that they weren't gonna go for celebs cause they wanted everyone to leave on a good note. Like they purposely were not gonna do jokes that cause an eyebrow raised or offensive.

Chris said idc, I'mma do me.

[poopanna]

Even if she didn’t have alopecia the joke was still corny af.

[carolinalily]

That’s funny because Regina’s sex pest routine was not cool either lol

[tucker]

Sometimes it’s like they try to do stupid shit

They should have opened up the show with we don’t talk about Bruno, no random Meg moment, use the voice actors if they are up for performing live and if they can’t cut it sub them in with some talented broadway actors

It should be so easy…

[sandstorm]

They bet on the enthusiasm for Bruno being more than for Beyonce to keep people watching. And i guess it worked until they shat the bed on it.
