And the winners are…no big surprise. Unless you made a philosophical decision to shun all things electronic yesterday, you probably know the Hollywood love fest otherwise known as the 79th Annual Academy Awards were last night. The orgy of celebrites celebrating themselves was fairly predictable. The four acting awards went just as everyone predicted with the one exception of Alan Arkin taking the Best Supporting Actor Award and leaving Eddie Murphy looking like he had just been sucker punched (which he kinda was). Jennifer Hudson took home the bald guy for Dreamgirls…duh. And Helen Mirren and Forrest Whitaker finished up their clean sweep of the movie awards season for their royal roles in The Queen and The Last King of Scotland. There were a few memorable moments in the mostly boring broadcast. Ellen DeGeneres was entertaining in her first date with Oscar and Martin Scorsese finally won for Best Director after being The Academy’s favorite bridesmaid for so many years. And in one funny moment, former VP Al Gore, who made an appearnace with Leonardo DiCaprio to ask everyone to turn off their lights and drive hybrid cars, was cut off by music just as he “decided” to announce his run for president in ‘08…a joke that was a little too well received by the house full of liberals with checkbooks. |
