"...Seth MacFarlane Worst Oscar Host Ever..." screamed a futuristic entertainment news headline, delivered by 'Captain Kirk' (William Shatner) to 85th Academy Awards host Seth MacFarlane, during the opening moments of the Oscars presentation, February 24, 2013.
Viewers were then subjected to a schizophrenic ceremony that couldn't decide whether to honor or ridicule the Hollywood community and the year's best filmmakers.
