Oscar wrap
Despite our better judgment, we ended up watching the Oscars last night. Seemed to be a good year for foreign actors, which is good. I'll be frank, I haven't seen a damn thing that won an award, I think, except for Sweeney Todd. Bonnie and I hardly ever get to the movies unless it's a kids movie, and it's usually more worthwhile for us just to buy the DVD than it is to go to the theater.
I do like the stuff I've seen Javier Bardem in, however, so I was happy to see him and the Coen Bros. win awards, because I like their stuff too. And I thought Jon Stewart was a great host.
I'm not sure whose idea it was -- Stewart's or someone else's -- to have Marketa Irglova come back on stage and deliver her acceptance speech for Best Song. But whosever idea it was, it was classy. And that's something you don't often get at the Oscars, so that was nice.
Also, can someone tell me what the hell is wrong with Renee Zellweger's face? It's a cross between "I'm sucking the sourest lemon in the universe" and "help, a vacuum is hoovering my features off."
