ABC’s recent Oscars promo is a bit more ambitious in scope than is really necessary. It’s about four commercials for completely different things. How will the aliens who can see it from space know exactly what they’re tuning in for?!
The spot seems to endorse:
1) Swanky new international airline with giant planes, all named Oscar
2) B-movie about earth-tingling red carpet disaster
3) Renowned nonagenarian hairstylist to the stars ("One man has delivered magical moments for over 80 years…")
4) Disney cartoon ball that’s kind of low-budge but still very sparkly
Who is this mysterious "Oscar" guy? Anyone?
I like the commercial. Anyone who doesn’t know what the Oscars are, well, is too out of touch to be watching anyway. The commercial does think outside the box a bit. That’s good. Way too many things are dumbed way too far dowïi÷‹r television viewers these days.
Maybe the rumors are true. They ARE bringing back Snow White! Look out Rob Lowe, here she comes again!
Stupid as hell. No wonder nobody watches.
