this is pretty great. as much as i like to think i'm insightful because i can usually guess who will win oscars, it really is fairly predictable. these guys have distilled the formula pretty perfectly in just under 4 minutes.

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!

the oscars.
last night, like every other year, i watched the oscars. from start to finish.
i'm not sure why i choose to subject myself to the show year after year. it's never that entertaining. nothing that ridiculous ever happens.
i don't quite understand if there was a strategy to either make the show shorter or more enjoyable to watch, but i think is there was it failed on both counts. it still ran longer, and the changes that were made really just made things seem more awkward than anything. and not funny awkward, just slightly uncomfortable. i think they should take a tip from the golden globes and serve booze so that as the night goes on everyone is sloshed. that's guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser.
but really, who thought it was a good idea to show and decribe each nominee and then announce them? every time it happened i got a little angrier. i already knew who the nominees were. because you just told me. i don't need to be told again. that's not how to make the show go faster.
i did feel like it somehow managed to get better the longer it went on. that might have just been because the sleepier i get the funnier everything seems. the comedy montage was pretty good though. james franco watching james franco. thumbs up.
