I'm not sure this is really deserving of the title "rant" but anyhoo....
1) Boring. Wow... boring. I miss the shadow people.
2) Jon Stewart .... eh. He didn't suck like Letterman but it just really makes you appreciate Billy and Ellen so much more.
3) The Halle Barre back and forth... not funny. And it went on and on and on like most of the unfunny SNL skits these days.
4) Seriously... could the singing numbers have been more boring?
5) THANKFULLY Atonement won for score and Once won for song and Diablo won for script so the three things I actually cared about (and saw) won.
6) I still miss the Silence of the Lambs year.......(sigh)
7) Where the fuck was Brad Renfro in the Memorium?? (I'm not the only one who noticed: TMZ )
8) The salute to binoculars and periscopes was the funniest thing in the show. That was good... and bad dreams.. also cute. However one of the many montages included montage clips from LAST YEAR'S OSCARS! Is that what they meant by "green Oscars"? Recycled material??
And there ya go..... here's to Brad! (Come to think of it... was Jonathan Brandis ever in a Memorium?? Who else's deaths have they been snubbing? Oscar people - this is how we find out who died! You can't snub people!)
