The reason the Oscars were so predictable is because the one that won were just so damn obvious this year. There were a few that might have been close such as best picture but for the most part the performaces of the winners were just too damn good and no one else was all that great. They did a good job but not Oscar good.

This year the ratings were what they were for the 2003 Oscars. A 10% drop over last year. Probably becasue it was going to be so predictable.
