three and a half hours of sheer excitement!!!

yes, i'm talking about the academy awards... as per usual, last night the oscars provided many enjoyable opportunities to mock the rich and famous. my vote for worst dress goes to uma thurman. you know how they say when you're beautiful you can wear anything and look great? they lied. and i have to say to all those who say adrien brody is unattractive (paraphrased)...i'm sorry. you are so incorrect. more observations:

- the only interesting part of the 'best song' performances was figuring out what tantric love move sting was putting on his instrument.
- how did billy baldwin make it into the oscars? i thought his current celebrity status was being mr. chynna phillips and praying for another "hold on" magnitude hit. anyone remember 'sliver'? anyone??
- oh, sean penn. that's why people write acceptance speeches, sweetie.
- holy 21 jump street flashback from johnny depp! but i guess since diane keaton was wearing his buster keaton outfit from benny & joon, he felt obligated to properly represent one of his former looks...
- who would ever pick nibbles for the best animated short film?!?! oops. sorry, rob.

update...

yes, bob hope did in fact die on july 27th, 2003. making his "tribute" at the oscars officially the lamest tribute ever.
