The Oscars Happened Last Night...

Yawn... Who cares.

About the only pop-culture I really follow comes to me via The Soup. But while I'm on the subject, The Soup is off the hook funny. If anyone out there hasn't watched, you have to see it. I really couldn't care less about celeb's and their lives, but The Soup is so damned good at mocking them that I look forward to watching it every Saturday morning. :-P Here's the Wikipedia page

Anyway, back to my rant... Naturally, I found lots of other things to do/watch last night instead of the stupid academy awards *cough* BSG *cough*. But luckily CNN spent the morning bombarding me w/ what happened... I'm so glad there isn't anything interesting happening anywhere in the World that might preempt my Oscar coverage.

OK, so Scorsese finally won a "gimme," for his piece of carp the "DepTarded." That movie may have been based on a diesel Hong Kong flick (which I haven't seen), but the adaptation blew chunks. At the end, everyone just started off'ing each other, in a hail of stupidity? *sigh* Well, apparently that piece of carp got best picture too... Is it possible that the judges vote w/o looking at the carp they're voting for? Maybe they take stupid pills first? Oh, maybe Lunesta?!?

Anyway, Pan's Labyrinth won, and I have to say that was good. That movie rocked. Crazy outta control symbolism, giant frogs, some dude's lip getting cut open... All I can say is: DAMN, go see that movie!

Also, it was good that Forest Whitaker won for his amazingly scary portrayal of Idi Amin (the crazy-ass Ugandan cannibal psychopath). That dude can act! Congrats Ghost Dog, apparently horrible choices can be redeemed. :-P

There's more I could say about the Oscars (which I was force fed this morning by CNN), but as I started to say at the beginning of this rant: "Yawn..."
