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.
You were right about the low ratings. I haven’t watched the Oscars for at least 10 years because I don’t care about the movies that were nominated. I think that the best movie of 2007 was “The Simpsons.” In ‘06, my favorite movie was “Man of the Year.” Why don’t more comedies receive Oscar nominations? No comedy won the Best Picture Oscar in the last 30 years.
