oscar, the grouch - incredibly shrinking

So it was the academy awards tonight. Blah, blah, blah. Am i the only person in north america who doesn't give a rat's ass?

I love movies. I hate actors. I do, however, love Jon Stewart. But, the actors? What the hell is up with the women and the lips and the lack of hips and the zero personality?

Actually, i missed most of the actual show and i'm sitting drinking a beer and watching some live broadcast after-thing. And do you know who i've seen? Lindsay Lohan, Suzanne Somers, Dolly parton (the lips!), John Travolta and Meadow from the Sopranos. What the hell am i watching?

I hate these people.

Earlier shane and i went to see Brokeback Mountain. So good. So sad. So good. Way better than The Constant Gardener in my mind.

Then we had 45 minutes left in grandma/grandpa time so we went to the pub for nachos and a beer and caught 30 minutes of Academy Awards on the big screen tv while hockey played at the exact same volume on the other 32 small screens in the bar. I'm not sure, but i think Glenn Close and lily Tomlin had a brawl resulting in a penalty. Or else there was a very small hockey team playing in a barbie dollhouse with Lily Tomlin in rainbow knee socks.

Hi,

I also HATE the oscars - can't stand watching it and couldn't care less who wins what. I feel the same about the Grammy Awards.

HOWEVER, a part of me is very glad that a South African team of actors etc. won some award at the oscars.

We haven't got a chance to watch (not that I do) - it will only be screened here tonight - which means I miss ER.

Ok, enough of me moaning.

Byeeeeee

I can't watch that shit anymore either. When they pan over the audience you can see that everyone's face is so fucking botoxed they can't even smile. And the lips! And all the fake boobies.

What must their quiet, alone moments be like if their identities are so tied up in grotesquely altered bodies.

broke mountain?

it was, a smart woman once said to me, an introduction into gayness, for america.

i enjoyed the shots of alberta but i expected more. it wasn't as "ground-breaking" as it was played up - to me.

Definitely not groundbreaking and where the hell did the R rating come from? And where were all the gratuitous sex scenes?

All I have to say is BRAVO to you for not wasting one SECOND of that Grandma/Grandpa time!! Yaaaay!
