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!

Did you see his speech when he accepted his Lifetime Achievement Oscar? At the end he broke out this very very morbid but hilarious part about how 10 years ago he had a full heart transplant from, he thinks, a 35-year-old woman, so he says that the Oscar committee gave him the award too early.

I couldn't stand how comfortable he was the entire time

Nope, I didn't watch most of the show. I was playing a game instead.

I like that he essentially said "lifetime achievement? I'm not dead yet!" That much I like.
