Oscars

So, I heard Jon Stewart sucked. I heard the whole thing was bland and boring and all the wrong movies won. Is this true? I couldn't be bothered to watch it myself, only tuning in for Charleeze Theron's extra-dress-on-her-shoulder and lots of plush penguins. Honestly, that and Dustin Hoffman's stoned performance are all I saw. That and Mr. Stewart looking like he was thinking "Is it over yet?" with his Desperate Housewives crack.

A sports commentator made the suggestion, and I like it, that instead of traditional oscars we change the selection process to a playoff format. I like the idea. They can be seeded by nominating vote strength. You can do an award show every few days that only takes an hour and drag it out for 3 or 4 weeks! And it'd still be more interesting!

So which way does a hat make you swing?

I'd guess it depends on the style of the hat...

So one style makes you protest and another makes you join in? Sounds a bit like Alice trying to decide if she should eat or drink...

And I now have the strangest thing going through my head...

Ellen Klages doing her impression of Karen Joy Fowler speaking/singing Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit".

I think we're all better off not asking about that. But, yes, that's probably how the hats work.

I'm pleased that something strange is going through your head. Especially as it is at least ostensibly musical. I love strange music.

I also like that the hats are more catalyst than mere payment.
