Help answer this question below.
Mainly: A lot of awards to give out and long-winded speeches (although they have tried to cut them shorter in the last few years).
Personally I can't stand the useless tributes, Oscars for "best achievements in surround sound production and editing or something" and musical numbers.
By the way who is the host this year?
People have alot to drink, and the already long thank you speeches they had planned become alot longer because they are half loaded (many of them anyhow is my theory anyhow).

As for the rest, there are many, many categories with awards for the claiming.
