Oscar News

I'm never sure what I think of the Academy Awards. It seems to me like they get more attention they deserve. But like everyone else I wind up watching at least a little of the show and being pleased to see some of the winners. The Washington Post has a list of the major winners.
Meanwhile, Pundit Guy notes a minor weiner.
Pretty cool for Jamie Foxx. I always liked him just fine but man, if you'd told me two years ago that he'd be winning an Oscar for Best Actor I'd have been shocked. Not that he doesn't deserve it. But you just never know who's going to come out of nowhere and rock the world.
Actually, that is not strictly true: I heard earlier, when I was actually surprised to find that tonight is Oscar night, that Chris Rock worked in a bit of insipid Bush-bashing....
The self-absorbed involved in self-congratulation...not exactly "must see" Noonan viewing...
(He's shorter than you'd think, too. I'm 5'5" and he was just a little bit taller than me, so I'm thinking 5'7" or so. Maybe the camera adds height, too, not just pounds.)
Haayyyyy! I'm gonna rock your world.
Funny how things work out sometimes.
Of course, Hillary Swank goes from "The Next Karate Kid" and "Beverly Hills: 90210" to winning two academy awards. What's next? Ben Affleck and Matt Damon winning for writing a screenplay? Oh, wait a minute...
