I found it to be an thoroughly entertaining ceremony, even though it had the usual unevenness of interest for the uninitiated viewer.
I read somewhere today that they instituted a "ban" on playing off thank-you speeches that went on too long.
I didn't notice on the day, but come to think of it, that was probably part of why I enjoyed myself so much.
