Seth MacFarlane at the Oscars: Brilliant or bad?

 . . . . . or maybe somewhere in between.  The web is exploding with reactions to MacFarlane's  performance last night. I have to say that although some of his stuff was bordering on sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. -- just what you'd expect from the creator of Family Guy, right? -- in our house, he got more laughs than groans.

Okay, the opening segment with William Shatner as Star Trek's Captain Kirk did seem pretty long, but you have to admit it was different than the age-old "insert the host in movie clips" concept that Billy Crystal did for years:

BRILLIANT
Seth was brilliant, funny, witty and made it much more exciting than ever before. The stars need to look at themselves and their lack of humor which did a reality check with me. So stuffy and snobby, get a life, laugh....they have been given so much and to be so stiff is really rude. My opinions. I loved him and I hated it last year.
