Seth MacFarlane's hosting of the 2013 Oscars was widely criticized. Within minutes, his jokes insulted past winners and made inappropriate references. He tried to preempt criticism with meta-jokes but they fell flat. Most of his remarks were just lamely nasty. The audience seemed uncomfortable. Beyond MacFarlane, the show had unnecessary musical performances and winners were hurried off stage, though more time could have been saved by cutting MacFarlane's offensive jokes. His smirking persona went down as one of the worst hosts in Oscar history.

Synapse talent
Voice-over work is an important part of filmmaking and documentary production. While films are no longer silent, voice actors are still needed to provide voiceovers that translate dialogue and narration into other languages. For example, a documentary about World War II would need voice actors to translate interviews with German and French soldiers so that audiences of all nationalities could understand. Hiring professional voice actors is necessary because it requires specialized skills to deliver voiceovers that match the emotion and acting in a film. Providing voiceover is a skilled profession and not something that just anyone can do successfully.

Cd Cover Analysis!!
The document provides analyses of several album covers from different bands. In 3 sentences:
The analyses note dark imagery and themes in several covers, including doves transforming from crows, a woman on a throne showing power, and skulls representing death. One cover stands out with blending colors against a black background, representing the album title of "Invincible." None of the band members are pictured on the first album cover for Sea of Treachery, which features a dark sea and sky to represent the album's themes of treachery and darkness.

My Chemical Romance Media Presentation - Music Video Analysis
- 1. My Chemical Romance Welcome to the Black Parade “The cover art for the single is a scene from the video, with the man in the bottom center being the Patient. He is flanked by two women named "Fear" and "Regret" in Gerard Way's revenge-era makeup.”
- 2. The video features 4 of the main characters. "The Patient", "Fear", "Regret", and "Mother War". "Mother War" is the woman in the Victorian-era gown and gas mask.
- 3. It’s very different from your average music video nowadays. It is very much based on German expressionism; very similar to the horror films in the 1920s, emphasising and focusing on the blacks and whites, the shadows and the emotions portrayed with no sound.
- 4. The Black Parade is based entirely around the character of "The Patient”, around his passage out of life and the memories he has of his life. "The Patient" dies and death comes for him in the form of a parade. This is based upon Gerard Way's belief that death comes for a person in the form of their fondest memory, in this case seeing a parade as a child. The float is followed by many figures in gas masks and other surreal outfits etc;
- 5. The setting of the music video goes from a hospital to a surreal cityscape, with ash-covered wreckage, black snow and destroyed buildings
- 6. They have made use of some colour, possibly using a colour filter as they have used red on the roses around the float on which the band are standing and you can see that the skin tones of the people involved were slightly washed out but not entirely lack of colour.
