“Ladies and gentlemen: two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank!”

Wouldn’t you just love it if the intro instead went “Ladies and gentlemen:  two-time Academy Award winner and ‘The Next Karate Kid’ Hilary Swank!”

But no matter.  That’s how I heard it in my head, and it was seriously hilarious.

I couldn’t tell you the last time I watched the Oscars.  It would not surprise me if it had been a decade.  I’m watching tonight because I’m pulling for Diablo Cody and Juno.

You know, it’s not so bad.  Jon Stewart is doing a decent job balancing humor and gravity.  Also, Laura Linney is in the audience.  Meoooowwwwwrrrrr.

  1. This is the first year in a long time I haven’t watched. Normally, I help run a big oscar pool, with very cool prizes. But, this year, one of the families who are very involved with the planning had a serious illness, and just weren’t up for it.

  2. I was floored that she won. Now I can say I’m two degrees of separation from an Oscar winner. Crap — I’m going to have to print new business cards. Let me call you back. [click]

  3. I do not watch award shows. I do not care who wins. I rarely, usually less than once a year, go to movie theatres. By the time I watch movies on pay-per-view, any awards hype is usually long past.
