Jim Treacher's Blog That Is on the Internet

I was thinking about blogging the Oscars, but then I was like, "Ehhhhhh..."

"Everybody's going to be doing that, aren't they?" I only saw two of the movies that were nominated anyway (missed Part 3 of the D&D dorktacular, sorry), and I didn't have strong feelings about either one. Not that watching the Oscars is about that, I guess... But a quick fast-forward through it on the Tivo reveals not a single hooter popping out, so why bother?

Luckily you can check out Daniel Frank and Whatevs for the play-by-play, and Emmanuelle Richard was able to get a handful of phonecam snaps from the red carpet before the fascists shut her down for Homeland Security reasons. I also liked Katie 'n' Matt's Oscars photo-essay about the security measures they had to go through just to stare at a 10-foot chain-link fence covered with a black tarp. The glamour capital of the world!

Didn't they use to hold the Oscars in a hotel banquet room or something?

P.S. Almost forgot Cintra Wilson! ("The Road to Oscartown has always been paved with retardation and weight gain, which is why it was obviously Renee Zellweger's turn to get best supporting actress -- fat, thin, fat, thin… she may be the greatest actress since Oprah.") And Mark Evanier.
