"C'mon, People..."
Speaking of funny, nobody's more hilarious than N.Y. Times Oscar blogger David Carr (a.a.a, "the Bagger") when he gets a good grump on. From a posting earlier today:
"This is the Bagger's fourth season at Kudo Camp and he has never seen such a lack of oxygen. The lack of a best-picture throwdown, combined with a class of nominees that don't have huge traction at the box office, means that we are spending a fair amount of time talking to ourselves. While doing man on the street interviews in Times Square earlier this week, the Bagger discovered that many people thought they might have already taken place.
"Sasha Stone, a bit of den mother in the Ninny Kingdom, lavishes praise on all five films this year, but then finishes with this: 'The five Best Pictures this year, admittedly, are nothing to write home about, meaning, none of them will really set the world on fire in ten year's time.'
"Gee. Kind of interrupts the seance about excellence a bit.
"The Biggest Movie Event of the Year, so far, seems like a little bit of a non-event. C'mon people, careers are at stake, there is studio loot on the line, bloggers are getting tired of capping on each other for attention. It's time to snap to and start paying attention or we just might have to...um, oh, never mind."

I'm only watching for some good song and dance (I hope) from Jackman. People are bagging on him, but I think he will be a good host. That, and I want to see Kate win.

I'll only be watching to see if anybody from Heath Ledger's family is given a chance to say something when he wins Best Supporting Actor. I think it would be really lame if only someone from the crew accepts on his behalf given the circumstances. Other than that, sounds like a good night to catch up on a movie I missed in the fall.
