The Oscars Telecast: Will it ever be Good Again?
Cover of Anne HathawayThe Oscars Telecast: Will it ever be Good Again?
Last night’s Oscars Telecast was extremely dull and unimaginative. The telecast started on a bad note right from the beginning when co-hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco injected themselves into the Best Picture Nominees ala Billy Crystal back in the day. Anne Hathaway was hamming and over exuberant while James Franco looked at one point like he wanted to take a nap. I think I speak for us all when I say we all could have slept through the entire telecast and missed nothing important. James Franco towards the end of the ceremony wasn’t even looking at the camera, but instead the camera caught him looking at the ceiling and then offstage. Anne Hathaway to make her mark on the telecast insisted on shouting whooo every time someone was presented an award. Had a drinking game been invented for every time she made this awful, shrill, overpowering whoop, there would have been many drunken people by the end of the evening. I have a message for the people who plan this ceremony every year, try to find an old style comedian who will set the right tone and keep people entertained. Please don’t ask James Franco or Anne Hathaway back next year.

Oscar Worthy Movie
Image by christophe dayer via FlickrAfter watching The Boy in Striped Pajamas, I've decided to make my own “Oscar Worthy” movie. I only need the following five things.
- Actors with a British accent
- Evil Nazis doing evil things
- A boy coming of age
- A father betraying a son's trust
- Dramatic music
If all of those things don't work, I might throw in a random hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold, some drug use, the first sexual experience of a small town girl, and random violence that is really a commentary on privileged, white society.
Lets make a movie :)
