scars, Oscars, Oscars is all people have been talking about for the last month. And just like fashion week they where tiresome, exhausting, seemed to go on forever and am I glad there over.

There were few to no surprises maybe Departures beating Waltz with Bashir for Best Foreign Language Picture but that wasn’t really a surprise considering how the Academy feels about animation (I don’t care what the Academy says WALL * E deserved a best picture nod). Or maybe Sean Penn beating out Mickey Rourke, but a comeback can only take you so far and he started way back.  So, no real big surprises there.   Favorite moment Seth Rogen and James Franco stoner dissection of the best picture nominee nobody saw The Reader along with some more popular 2008 releases.

Of course, no matter how boring or overlong or how torturous the mandatory Beyoncé musical number is, we will be back to see it all again in 2010.
