It’s 1989, Rob Lowe looks the same. There’s no host (a move the Oscars has revisited time and again), and to fill time because the Oscars never go on long enough, Grease producer Allan Carr devised a couple musical numbers. The worst, among a smorgasbord of awful, featured Lowe alongside poor, never-gonna-work-in-this-town again newcomer Eileen Bowman as Snow White, Merv Griffin, and a destructive rendition of “Proud Mary” that went on for ELEVEN minutes. At the end of it all, Lily Tomlin strolls out and the Oscars, sadly, had just begun.
