Meaningless Award Ceremony
Gets a little more interesting. Maybe I'll watch the Oscars after all.
Update: The New York Times confirms that Jon Stewart will be hosting the Oscars this year, replacing Chris Rock, who apparently took too many shots at President Bush and the film industry last year in the opinion of some Academy members. Which makes me wonder if these people have ever watched The Daily Show.

I haven't seen the Oscars in like a decade but I swear I'm tempted to this year.

I've liveblogged past ceremonies, but I don't think I'll do that again. I'm fascinated by the ceremony as much as I think it's utterly tedious and silly. Letterman was right: what other industry could get away with such a conspicuous diplay of self-congratulation?
