I did watch the Oscars last night (well half of it before I fell asleep) and as much as I’d like to offer up my thoughts on the winners and losers, I didn’t see any of the movies. At all. Except for “Coraline” which was only nominated for one Oscar, I think. Most of the movies sit atop my Netflix queue, where they’ve been for months, with the dreaded “very long wait” next to them. I’m beginning to wonder if Netflix even has these movies… is it some big Netflix conspiracy? Either way, I’ll save my Netflix rant for another day.

Even though I haven’t seen any of the movies, I’ll comment on the Oscars anyway, since that’s how I roll.

- I wish Neil Patrick Harris had been the host. I got excited when he walked out on stage to kick off the night. I loved him as Doogie, I loved him as Dr. Horrible, I loved him as host of the Tony awards, fuck, I just love him.

- During Steve Martin’s and Alec Baldwin’s opening monologue, I wondered one thing: Was George Clooney only pretending to sit there like a smug prick, or is he really one?

- Ben Stiller’s “spoof” was Epic Fail… for the second year in a row. Here’s an idea, why not walk out on stage and show some respect for an 80-something year old award? Or at the very least, be funny.

- I LOVED the John Hughes tribute. Mostly because I loved John Hughes. And Molly Ringwald. Jon Cryer… not so much.
