Best Picture?
The only Oscar nominated movie that I actually saw ended up being the upset winner for Best Picture at last night's Academy Awards ceremony. When I saw the result on the web this morning, I immediately thought of the only Netflix review that Roxi has ever written. About Crash she wrote: "This show sucks." I give it a little more credit in that Don Cheadle gave a strong performance, but the I didn't appreciate the highly hypocritical Hollywood message. So I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it either. What else is new? And don't take my word for it. Check out what the Filthy Critic had to say about it (foul language alert!).

I don't know if you watched the Oscars, but I enjoyed George Clooney telling us all that the movie stars are maybe not always mainstream but that is good because they were the first to talk about segregation, etc, etc.
I read about the "highlights" today but I decided several years ago that it wasn't worth my time to watch the show. It's like televising a high school sports awards dinner. It's really important to those that attend and are involved, but no one else would ever want to watch a telecast!
Anyway, I did read about Clooney's comments but I also read about Jon Stewart's. Apparently after a montage of films tackling things like racism, sexism, poverty and war, Stewart remarked "And none of those problems ever occured again."
Hollywood people are weirdos.
