for another waste of 3 and half hours.Even Jon Stewart seemed to notice how stale, un-funny, and un-interesting the show was. endless and pointless montages (did they really need to show us all 79 former Best Actors, Best Actresses, and Best Pictures?), poorly performed songs (Kristen Chenowerth should be ashamed), lackluster acceptance speeches and bad jokes (Halle Berry vs Dame Judy?) made this one of the most forgetable Oscar shows i've ever sat through (second only to the year David Letterman hosted). granted, i didn't see any of the movies that were nominated for any of the awards, but still...the show itself was just dull. i guess we can blame the writer's strike. on the plus side i do want on seeing La Vie en Rose and Juno.
i regret staying up past my usual bedtime of 10 pm and not watching season three of Charmed (Shannon is finally dead and they've replaced her with Rose McGowan who's quite a little spitfire and not a half bad actress).

Waste of time? Not quite. Nearly.
I am so not mainstream, I do have to admit. But the highlights: Two foreign films....The Counterfeiters (took place at a concentration camp near Berlin that I have visited).....and the flick about the same-sex couples fighting for benefits (can't remember the name)....and also "Falling" from a second-run fiick with people who were so not expecting it. Those were three great parts.
yeah but when the documentarian loudly proclaimed how much a dyke she and her film-making partner WEREN'T i just rolled my eyes and thought "whatever"...thanks for throwing us a bone. all that was missing was her saying "some of my best friends are lesbians".
