oscar blahs

well blogger/blogspot certainly has a mind of it's own, doesn't it?

i've added a blog to the blog roll, american tonic. support women bloggers and check it out.

sherry wondered what i thought of the oscars? 1st off, this weekend cedric wrote and entry that everyone should check out 'The Oscars'. reading it made me handle the oscars better.

why? i wanted jake to win. i love george clooney but i really wanted to see jake win. no 1 won that i was rooting for.

reese witherspoon? well, didn't doris day win an oscar once too?

i mean, we're not talking a real actress here. in that film with matthew broadrick years ago, her quirks seemed fresh and you thought they were part of the character. election was the name of that film. since then, it's been the same old, same old. i'm not real fond of perky.

sally field had to really stretch to get her oscars. i didn't think the johnny cash film was a good film and i didn't think she was good in it. i had a party here and a number of people were booing when reese won.

t said it best, 'duckface! they just gave it to duckface!'

but it wasn't really a year about inclusion. cedric got that right. what was it? awarding the usual people.

i thought jon stewart was funny. but the show was dragging from the start. and i wasn't pleased with the award winners.

people make fun of marisa tomei, but she created a character for her oscar win. reese tossed on a wig and acted like ... reese.

after she won, people were betting on how long before her marriage busted up because when the woman wins the oscar and the husband's career is in the toilet, the marriage is in trouble.

i don't wish a divorce upon her but i would have picked any of the 4 other actresses. i was really rooting for felicity because i thought she gave an incredible performance but i would have been fine with any 1 but reese.

my hope is that she'll suffer the 'i won the oscar' curse and start doing serious roles, heavy dramas, first lady of the screen roles, kill off her career and we'll all be spared legally blonde XXII.

i was going to do a rundown on the news but ...

need news, check out 'And The War Drags On.'
