Heard on the radio this morning that Robin Williams was supposed to sing a song (written by the guy who wrote songs for the South Park movie) about various cartoon characters' private foibles (e.g. Olive Oyl is anorexic), but ABC or someone refused to let him sing it. That's why he had the tape on his mouth when he came onstage. Still, he got a bit of material in...

The 77th annual Academy Awards seemed mostly dedicated to biopics and boxing, but there were some triumphs for openly gay filmmakers. Out Spanish director Alejandro Amenzábar took home Best Foreign Film for the true-story euthanasia drama The Sea Inside, while work and life partners Robert Hudson and Bobby Houston were honored with Best Documentary Short for Mighty Times: The Children's March. The winner of the Animated Short Oscar, Ryan, was a film about bisexual Canadian animator Ryan Larkin.

Hey, I finished 10th! Not bad considering that I was mostly guessing based on no knowledge whatsoever.

At first the reports were that this year's Oscars were the most watched in the past five years, those were the early reports. Today, it's been adjusted and now they say the viewership was less than last year. Predictability really does not serve viewership well.
