re: #6 Eclectic Cyborg

Dumb decision, but I’d like to think it was a poor choice made by someone tasked with cutting the broadcast length down and not due to some closet Putinite.

They created a 90 minute version of the show. 20 Days was not cut because of politics. It was cut for time. Cutting a 3 hour show down to 90 will do that.

But it did grant Ukraine TV the ability to show the full live version which it did.

“Instead of the shortened version, Suspilne [Ukrinae TV] decided to show the Ukrainian viewers the full version that was broadcast live on the night of March 11.”

So the people in Ukraine got to see the award given. And I bet a lot of other minor awards were cut. The question is did Ryan Gosling’s mucical performance get cut?
