The memorial usually is one of the best parts of the show, but the television coverage of the combination was terrible. For about one-third of the people, you couldn't read the names, or what they did within the industry.
Maybe people who obsessively follow the movies could pick out who those pictured were, but as a casual follower, I couldn't tell who everyone was.
They need to go back to showing the memorial film full screen and if they want Queen Latifah to sing, just have the sound and skip showing her.
