The thing I found interesting at the Oscars was Hollywood trying to get us to go back to the theatres. Then they showed all of the really good older movies. Nothing recent. Hmmm, that should tell them somthing.
I didn't watch... my daughter just gave me a full account --- she mentioned the same thing!
She also said Sandra Bullock and some of the others in full view when CRASH was announced, looked really happy and almost relieved that their industry dodged the bullet by rejecting Brokeback.
