On the Oscars last night

A couple notes.

First, whoever came up with the idea for pairing James Franco and Anne Hathaway as hosts is being pilloried this morning, at least in the press, if not in reality.  What an awful matchup that was.  I can't be sure if it was the writing or their respective deliveries and I think it may well be both but that was really awful.  The writing tried so hard to make them funny by being cute, it ended up painful.  The writers should be dismissed immediately and forever, at minimum.  (As an example, the review below, at the link, is rather scathing.  And entertaining.  And, I think, largely, if not completely on target).

Second, no surprise, "The King's Speech" swept the night.  That was both predicted and expected.

But "True Grit" getting 10 nominations and zilch by the end of the night?  Yikes.

Fortunately, it's not important.  At least, it's not important to most of the world.

Back to reality.

Enjoy the sunshine, y'all.
