The Oscars
I didn’t see all of them, but I very much enjoyed Hugh Jackman as host, and I liked the new 5-person presentations.
I did NOT like having to listen to Bill Maher mock religion, or Sean Penn sharing his politics. I had to point out to him, via tv, that the very same President he was praising is on record opposed to the law Penn was lecturing us about.
I like celebs a lot more when they keep their lectures and condescension and politics to themselves, thankyouverymuch.
Oh, and his explanation about not having enough time to thank his wife – please. I don’t buy that. It would take half a second to say, ‘Thanks Robin.’ What a jerk.
That’s about it. Your thoughts?

I agree. I think the entire thing is just an exercise in excess, and of course, I’d have a lot more credibility saying that if I weren’t watching it and overeating while doing so. Sean Penn is such a freaking creep, and I have not been able to stand him since he proved he couldn’t take a joke when Chris Rock (swoon) hosted a few years ago.
