Right now “A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow” is being performed. This must be the first time in Oscar history that a song is being performed in character. (ooh wait, I forgot about the opening number in “Beauty and the Beast” which I believe was a practice run in the preparation of the […]
Howard Shore won “Best Score” for Return of the King. I recongized more of the names in this category, in no small part to the fact that on my XM radio, I’m always listening to the “Cinemagic” channel, which always shows the composer’s names on the display along with the film titles. This is the […]
Now there’s the annual roll call of those who passed on since last Oscars… I didn’t know Michael Jeter had passed on, or that Buddy Hacket was dead for real this time (there was a sitcom that made a joke about a mistaken report of his death, they ended the show with a “in memory […]
The closest thing to a Fuyvish Finkel award nominee goes to the guy who just accepted for “Fog of War”. “I’d like to thank the Academy for finally recognising my films!”. The political statement I think took it out of the running for the Finkel award. But considering the film this award went to, it […]
Every techichal award “Lord of the Rings” has been up for, it has won…. The acting must have stunk because no actors were nominated… Sarcasm mode OFF

Okay…. Does anyone know why Tom Hanks was intoduced to “Hail to the Chief”??? Great tribute to Bob Hope. My favorite line of his about Oscar night, “… or as it’s known in my house… Passover.”
To note that I’ve gotten my 500th hit !!! Thats… what 5 seconds of traffic for instapundit…
More Pete Rose jokes that don’t get a laugh… Don’t these people ever watch ESPN???
Best joke in the opening film that didn’t get a laugh… (Sword to his throat) “I admit I bet on baseball!!!”
I’ll be blogging the Oscars tonight… Making snide commentary when (in-)appropriate. I could make “my predictions”, but EVERYONE does that… I’d probably end up just regurgitating the “conventional wisdom”. I entered into ABC’s online contest, but I threw in a few longshots that I don’t think will win, but could be plausible upsets, and make […]
From Jeff Jarvis’ BuzzMachine Dave Winer spoke at Microsoft a week ago and he was asked what he wants the IE group to do. From Joshua Allen’s notes:A: Two main things: 1) Make it easy to subscribe to a feed with a single click, regardless of users choice of aggregated. Needs browser support, cooperation of […]
