I see people in cyberspace commenting that the sound quality of the Oscar
broadcast is terrible.

I think Roy Rising elsewhere is correct, and it was a downmix problem,
exacerbated by slight acoustic feedback.
You know it's bad when even MSN is covering it:
"What's up with the Oscar microphone feedback?"

A lot of the live reality contest shows use combinations of directional
mikes, feedback eliminators, careful EQ, feedback eliminators, and the
ubiquitous iZotope RX box in the rack, plus tons of rehearsals and set up.
The Kodak theater has got a very weird design -- 3 balconies, lots of
vertical speakers in a vast indoor area -- I don't envy anybody who has to
mix in an environment like that.
