I thought the show was pretty good considering the problems that
surrounded its production.
Political jokes have been around the Oscars for years, so that's
nothing new. Jon Stewart
smirky little presence is perfect for the Oscars in this era. This
years films were so serious
and so good, overall, in my humble opinion, that it was hard to poke
fun at the films themselves,
which is often a part of the levity of the show. I don't pay too
much attention to the clothes, but
I went to a great Oscar party with great food and good folk, and some
of them do pay attention
to this -- and they said the clothes were not so great. Cameron
Diaz looked like she just got out
of bed and Nicole Kidman needed to straighten those diamonds.
The awards themselves I did not have too much of a quarrel with. I
would have liked
Hal Holbrook to have won, but what do I know? And I think if I had
to vote I would have
had a hard time choosing between JUNO and NO COUNTRY for Best
Picture. There
were a lot of difficult choices for academy members because in
general the competition
was stiff.
Overlooked unfortunately: 3:10 TO YUMA
And THE BOURNE IDENTITY walked away with three Oscars. You could not
pay me to sit through that again.
