telecast

Eastern, the scheduled end time for the telecast, which continued for another 20 minutes.

But if humble tenacity was the show’s main message, it was also the telecast’s most prominent theme.

The crew of at least a dozen people were on the edge of their seats the whole show, spreading a sense of suspense, joy and anticipation throughout the telecast.

Almost two hours in and I feel like this telecast is moving at a very nice clip, except for that big Bond dance number.

Oscar pundits have worried about ratings for this year’s telecast because so many of the best picture front-runners are relatively obscure.
