The Oscars - Best Picture

I haven't seen 'Crash', and I'm sure it's a fine film, but I feel like the Academy (once again) wussed out and went with the less controversial film. We are all fairly comfortable talking about racism, etc, but gay cowboys? I was a little pissed at the outcome.

With apologies to GC- I do watch the Daily Show, and Jon, while a bit more restrained than usual, was adorable.

Restrained is a good word for it. He needed to be unleashed, imho. He seems to get funnier and funnier the more he feeds off of laughs and applause. Without it, he stumbles.

And I apologize for spelling his first name wrong for the last 1000 posts. Jon Jon Jon Jon...
