1. Open letter to Michael Moore:
Dear Mike,
Hahahahahahahahahaha! Suck it. Suck it long, and suck it hard.
That is all.
2. In response to the inevitable "yeah well the passion got shut out for best picture too. so there!" I'd like to add that while Mel Gibson does have some asshatish behaviors to answer for this year (Paparazzi being at the top of that list), he did not actively campaign for an Oscar he thought he could politicize his way into winning. That, and the nominations have got to piss off the wacko left, and therefore, are good old-fashioned hilarity.
3. I do not want to live in a world where Eternal Sunshine doesn't win best original screenplay. Thankfully Sideways is in the adapted category, b/c the globes were not a good omen.
4. This is the first year of my life I haven't seen a single Best Picture nominee. Hell, it's the first year I haven't seen four out of five. Note to self: Put Tivo away, drag butt to theater.
5. Go Jamie! Go Kate! Go Cate! Go Clive! Y'all rock :)
