Another humdrum oscar show full of Hollywood congratulating itself on still being the most bawdy and obvious film industry on the planet. It's at times like this that the machine awards five films that it tried very hard to not make and that many industry "insiders" consider failures (i.e. didn't make any money). Pardon my cynicism, but even though Crash won best picture (I picked it, by the way), it was hardly the best movie made last year.
Still, at least we didn't have to watch Forrest Gump beat Pulp Fiction for best picture..
My biggest beef for the evening: The constant stream of morally-charged "shame on you"'s from the industry types for not going to the theatre more often. Sorry, Hollywood, if I don't want to pay $12 to watch 25 minutes of TV commercials on an underlit screen and listen to the guy next to me talk on his cell phone while munching on $6 popcorn when I can rent the DVD for $5 and see it on a reasonably large TV at home with surround sound that's probably better than the theatre. Don't shake your finger and people like me if you can't make a good product and price it reasonably.
At least it's over for another year...
