Watching the Oscars. (Spoiler Alert)…
March of the Penguins won documentary (I think) and the winners brought huge stuffed penguins with them to the stage!!! That was so badass, even better than the Wallace & Gromit guys putting mini bow ties on their statues.
Ack, and now they’re following it up w/ J. Lo?? WTF?
Additionally: I think I’m finally turning old. We’re 90 minutes into this and already I wish they’d just skip to the major awards, the nominated song about pimps, and more Jon Stewart jokes about Clooney. When I was younger, I watched all the big awards shows (minus the Tonys and the American Music Awards. Oh, and anything country music related but I think at that point that shit wasn’t televised. Ah, the good old days). The first award show to go from my roster was the Video Music Awards. Then the Grammys. Now, the Emmys and Golden Globes are sadly becoming tentative. I’m holding tight onto the Oscars, though. Most movies are made for 13 year old boys now, but the nominated movies are still fairly grownup and interesting, so hopefully we won’t soon be faced with movie posters heralding “Academy Award Nominee Hillary Duff” or “Palme D’Or winner Snow Dogs 2.”
