Dear Academy: You almost had me.

[tzikeh]

The Good:
Jon killed. Killed. Fucking KILLED.
George Clooney's acceptance speech.
Altman's honorary Oscar.
Stuffed penguins.

The Bad:
Flaming car wreck interpretive dance.
"OMG DUN STEEL" speech from the President of the Academy.
Good Night, and Good Luck. was shut out.
Felicity didn't pull an upset.

The Ugly:
Crash sucked wind. The script was unbelievably heavy-handed, the direction was mediocre, and the film won solely due to the fact that the studio could afford to send out a barrage of DVD screeners which flooded Hollywood in the past eight weeks. I would have picked any other nominated film over Crash. And that's all I have to say about that.

OMG, Jon waking up next to Clooney in the opening film? Killed me dead. Then, Jon's joke about GNaGL being the last thing Clooney said to all his dates, and Clooney's reaction -- first laughing, then looking chagrined -- was hilarious. Those two should make a comedy together. Hell, Clooney needs to do more comedy. He has incredible comic timing.

*mightily pissed about BBM not winning*

"OMG DUN STEEL" speech from the President of the Academy.

And not only that ... you're not getting the *right* movie experience unless you pay a lot of money at the movie theatre.

Much Goodnessness: Jon Stewart's Bjork/Cheney and montage for the Oscar montages jokes. Also, M. Night Shyamalan's 2-minute mini-movie for American Express (best commercial).
