This is not the first time they made the in memoriam close to impossible to read on TV. For one thing they showed the singers when slides were being shown. I would rather have what the Academy audience was seeing, broadcast on the TV screen as the first one with Navalny was.
@Linda Robinett: I agree with you 100% on this. In past years, they often showed at least some of the In Memoriam slides full screen. They didn’t this year.
