My Oscar thoughts
James Franco looked bored and/or stoned. A lot of things were cut down--like how each in memoriam person got half a second, and all the movie clips were about half that long--and even though everything seemed crammed, the show still managed to go long (well, Oscars). Seemed like they weren't cutting off speeches as much early on (well, they tried with Sorkin. Didn't work)? Dunno, all in all it wasn't disastrous, but there wasn't really a stand-out moment, good or bad, and even though I do appreciate Tom Hooper's use of the term "triangle of manlove," I still wish David Fincher would've won. All in all: Blah.
Also, why all the attention paid to Oscar history during the 83rd Annual Oscars? Does the number 83 have some sort of mystical association among actors? I wonder what they'll pull out for the 100th Oscars in 2028 (other than an 8-hour telecast).
So, yeah. Oscars.
