It doesn't surprise me considering most of the elements that make up full scale Oscars special are not possible due to the pandemic.. Coverage generally (even in the States) has been far less elaborate than other years.

Well, indeed, and when they covered the Oscars last year, it was when they did the whole show live from LA and devoted about 95% of the show to it, despite the fact there was severe weather affecting most of the UK and Covid was becoming a big thing, both of which they pretty much ignored. That seemed to get a very poor reaction, and it was one of the lowest-rated editions of the entire year, so you would think that, even if the Oscars had taken place as usual this year, they might have eased off on the coverage because it was clear the audience aren't that interested. Certainly not to make it more than, as mentioned, just another story.
Then again, I watched some of the Oscars last night and it didn't seem as interesting as previous years and for some reason it lacked energy and it didn't seem as interesting as previous years, so I think it's best that GMB didn't touch on it as much as they did in previous years
