OSCAR, THE GROUCH

Just watched The Oscars--a clumsy & elephantine show, but there were highlights. Hosts Steve Martin & Alec Baldwin were truly funny, & though the dance number to the Best Score nominees was superfluous, the performers from The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers were spectacularly acrobatic. Also digressive, but also enjoyable, was this montage tribute to that Oscar-neglected genre the horror movie. About freakin' time.

Also: Why no Farrah Fawcett (or Bea Arthur) in the necrology?

  1. I'm not a Jimmy Kimmel fan, but last night after the Oscar show I happened to catch a skit he did with an all-star cast (including Rob Lowe, Sting and Tony Romo among many)called the "Handsome Mens' Club". It was hilarious. If you didn't catch it, you might try his website or on YouTube.
