Bagger is back

The N.Y. Times' David Carr -- a.k.a. "the Bagger" -- is back in action and making the claim that Oscar heat is somehow hotter in Manhattan than Los Angeles, and that Gotham Oscar campaign publicists cater more egregiously to movie journalists than L.A. flacks, some of whom say "no" or "later" or "let me get into it" or take an awful long time to return calls.

I think that describes L.A. employers in general.

I'm psyched to see Carr writing about the race again, but is the "Bagger" blog/column really back? I don't see links for it on the Times site. Last year I had its RSS feed bookmarked and checked it as religiously as I do 'HE.'

I hope he's back but there is some weird movement on the NY Times front in that it's looking like they might charge for Carr's blog. Clicking on the link takes you to a "two week free access" thing. I really hope they don't do that - it's gonna suck big time. No one will pay and it will drop of the radar.

"The Bagger" and "HE" are the two sites I visit every day starting in the late fall.
