   You said it.   
      
   That was crap. All I could find was the segment from ABC's broadcast,   
   which I am not going to cite. The camera was in the audience in which   
   the reel was shown to the audience on massive video screens but not in a   
   way that the television audience could make anything out. It was behind   
   the orchestra, singers, and dancers.   
      
   I tried to find the reel itself on the Oscars Web site but couldn't.   
      
   Here's a list:

   That's way too many to have been included in the reel shown to the   
   audience, but the television audience couldn't see all that much of it   
   anyway.
