Seth Rogan and James Franco playing their characters (though Rogan much thinner now) from

I stopped watching at 8 o'clock (never did go back to my movie 'til then) and watched
The Amazing Race instead because I was generally bored. My feeling watching it was that it must have been pretty compelling in person but made for semi-lame TV. The animation montage was awful but I've already forgotten the other montages (though it is good that they managed to get
Transporter 3 and
Death Race into the Oscar telecast).
The aspect I didn't like was the redundancy of describing each of the nominees: "Sound editing is important whether it is creating a space robot or mimicking large caliber gunfire while a man ages backwards. And the nominees are
Wall-E and
Benjamin Button." For some reason I found that annoying.
The responses I'm reading elsewhere are showing a strong love it/hate it split. My mood may have been helped if it were for the fact that most of the time the worst or second-worst movie (
Slumdog or
Button) was winning.
