Our man in Manilla writes: "And a screenplay nod for Charlie Kauffman for ADAPTATION? That's too much support for real-life Kaufman's in-joke that its almost a joke."
The dude in Michigan responds: like to see Charlie Kauffman win just to see who picks up the Oscar... when the nomination was announced, it was done with a smirk, but I think the joke has gone on long enough - not that I am going to spoil the punchline for those who have yet to be surprised by who Charlie Kauffman really is... :-) and J continues: I am just awaiting Eminem's performance at the Oscars. and V replies: aren't we all -- you know the academy is going to wimp out major league and give it to U2 for the forgettable GONY song (which hardly sounds like 19th century NY to me and was a pure sell out to post 9-11 commercialism) or Paul Simon's even more forgettable schlock from the Wild Thornberrys - I love Simon's work but that song is insipid
