82oscars.

thankfully, Avatar was mostly shut out on last night's oscars (except for visual effects categories, of course). this means that i will be able to continue my yearly tradition of watching the telecast and shouting my predictions at the screen as the nominees are announced.

last night's show was actually pretty good. good for you, kathryn bigelow! NPH's musical number was pretty great and steve martin and alec baldwin's hosting was funny and generally unobtrusive. and i especially liked tina fey and robert downey jr. presenting best original screenplay. funny stuff! and kathy ireland hosting the red carpet preshow was a glorious mess. however, the ass kissing for best actor/actress segment is brutal. they need to stop that. it's awkward and boring as hell.

now here are my picks for best and worst dressed!
