Oscar reflections

First of all, let me say that Chris Rock was wrong last year-- there ARE straight men who are not in show business who DO watch the Academy awards. I thought Jon Stewart did a pretty good job, though I got a bit tired of the jokes aimed at Jewish people. I thought that the opening schtick was hilarious. The film montages did get a bit out of hand, but I (for selfish reasons) loved the film noir tribute. (The URL of this blog surely reveals my love of that genre.) It was painfully clear that Lauren Bacall was having difficulty reading the teleprompter. I was disappointed that Paul Giamatti did not win (again). All in all, it was a pretty good show.
