I have only one prediction: this will be the lowest-rated Oscars ever because they have a host from basic cable and a slate of movies that few people saw and even fewer liked. All dark, violent, depressing, art house money losers that we're supposed to force ourselves to sit through because all that self-flagellation is good for us somehow. "Juno" is the only one of the bunch that's made over $100 mil, and a movie reviewer friend of mine told me that "Michael Clayton" is ranked #47 out of all the movies released in 2007 at Internet Movie Database, and isn't even among the top five thrillers.

Where are the nominations for Amy Adams in "Enchanted," or "King of Kong" for Best Documentary, or for anything that anybody actually liked and might be rooting for? They nominated a bunch of stuff that was about as enjoyable as sitting through a root canal, and the Oscar telecast will probably be just as painful as any of these movies and twice as long.

“..and the Oscar telecast will probably be just as painful as any of these movies and twice as long.”

I don’t watch that swill but I’m betting there will be a lot of “Go Obama” going on. It’ll drive Hillidiot nuts.

I am not watching....but my son just called from Chicago to see if I heard what Jon Stewart just said. According to my son, and I'm paraphrasing him paraphrasing Jon Stewart,"Can you believe we are in a war with Islamic Fundamentalists and we are about to elect a guy named Hussein POTUS?" My son said the audience didn't laugh and appeared very uncomfortable. I can't wait to see it on Youtube.
