Oscars

[lynxreign]

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!

I avoided the whole thing....the only nominated thing I had even seen was "Good Night and Good Luck", which frankly should have swept it's categories because it was amazing. It won nothing. The Oscars are getting as useless as the Grammys.

We watched Stewart's opening bit and it was okay. Not terrible and some bits were really really funny, but not consistently funny. like the Daily Show

I thought Jon did a pretty good job, but I'm a little biased when it comes to him. Other than that, eh, there were some good moments. I left the room to go call Zach when one of the nominated song performances, the song from Crash, started the interpretive dance bit.

I watched it for the first time ever only because of Jon Stewart. And he was pretty much the only thing worth watching. That was 3 hours of my life I will never get back.

I'm putting the 200th comment on this sucka!

Anyway, I thought Jon Stewart was great. People don't realize that he was hosting an awards show whereas on Daily Show, he's the main event.

Robert Altman wins at life!
