The US version of Oscar is much less funny than the original, but as far as US adaptations go it's still quite good.

@Gargron@mastodon.social I barely watch awards shows, but it always feels like U.S. adaptations smooth things out for a wider audience, even when that costs some bite. That tradeoff shows up everywhere, not just in comedy.
Do you think that’s about network pressure, or just different expectations from viewers?
