The Oscars

I love watching the Oscars - I don't really know why, I just do!
Last night was the 78th Oscar gala, and I missed the first part, but enjoyed the rest. Jon Stewart was pretty good, in his cerebral way.

So, my comments - there was something very wrong with the teleprompter - they all had problems with it, and it made it hard for someone as classy as Lauren Bacall screw up! I don't know what the problem was, but fix it for next time!

There was almost no outrageousness at all! Kind of sad, in a way, no controversial presenters with some weird agenda - even the penguin stuffed toys were pretty low key!

I am really impressed with how George Clooney has matured - he's a reall Hollywood King now, almost at the level of Clark Gable, with Gable's nonchalant manner and class - good job!

And a great comment on Huffington blog:
"Salman Rushdie: 100% Correct"I predicted all the winners," Salman Rushdie tells me, "and when Jack Nicholson appeared to present the Best Picture award, I knew it wasn't going to be Brokeback Mountain. The world won't let Nicholson give the award to a 'gay' movie."
