Yee haw. The Oscar crowd has seen fit to correct its 1998 mistake (i.e. Oscar for Gwyneth Paltrow, not for Cate Blanchett) yesterday evening, and Cate Blanchett goes home with the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, for her role as Katherine Hepburn in Martin Scorcese's The Aviator.
Take that, Sideways. As for the other winners, I don't know and don't care. Late last night and this morning, it snowed something like half a foot or so, and life is great at the moment.
NB: A quick search of Technorati seems to indicate that the Italians are very excited about our Oscars. That's weird. Usually, when someone mentions the word "Oscar" to me, I think of (variously) the letter "O", a Soviet SSGN, or the type of fish my folks used to keep in the early 1970s. Obviously it's a problem of branding.
