Well, I didn't do too badly (4-4), but I guess we all know that a future as a professional film critic isn't in my immediate future. I still think Don Cheadle should have won but I can't take anything away from Jaimie Fox; he was Ray Charles.
I kinda feel sorry for Scorsese though. He's made some really good movies, but there's always one he's up against that just a hair better. His Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech will certainly be interesting.
As for the show itself...Boooring.
What was with that camera angle high and from the side? I know they wanted to show off their new ability (borrowed from Monday Night Football) to superimpose graphics onto the stage, but I would much rather have actually seen the winner's face as they gave their speeches.
And isn't it a slap in the face to win an Oscar, and not even be allowed to come to the stage to give your speech? They passed the mic around the crowd so much, I started looking around for Jerry Springer.
Anyway, Oscar season is now over and I can go back to watching the trash I normall watch, Like Man of the House with Tommy Lee Jones, which I saw Saturday night. Not great, but adequate. Nothing original or remarkable, but it's always fun to watch Jones.
