You ...Yeah, I'm in need of consoling, too...CRASH? You were right! It's funny to read the news reports this morning about how "everyone" was astonished at the best picture upset, when everyone knew BROKEBACK was going to win; by the time the awards were actually on, I'd pretty much figured The Great Dennis's prediction was going to come true. Still, it's a drag. <BR/><BR/>Then again, The Chronicle ran a story this morning about parties in SF where people were dressed in glittery cowboy hats, and were outraged and crying that BROKEBACK didn't win--which makes it all seem pretty silly. You don't see me crying because THE NEW WORLD was utterly overlooked, do you?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1141624027001646492006-03-05T21:47:00.000-08:002006-03-05T21:47:00.000-08:00Better Living Vicariously. Lebowski Fest and the O...Better Living Vicariously. Lebowski Fest and the Oscars - Dennis, you are it!<BR/><BR/>The dog ate my office pool ballot this year. Aw, that's not true. It's just I didn't manage to see ANY of the Best Pic nominees - not a one! Even with CAPOTE playing the Darkside for the bazillionth week running! (Mr. Turner really likes it. He just can't quit it.)<BR/><BR/>Cheers! And sweet dreams (with no Joan Rivers)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1141592852956622812006-03-05T13:07:00.000-08:002006-03-05T13:07:00.000-08:00Haha--great, irreverent fun. Bravo to your bowlin...Haha--great, irreverent fun. Bravo to your bowling score! White Russians are really bad for you. I hope you're right about Ledger winning; I'm so sick of hearing about Hoffman being the front-runner. And I hope you're wrong about CRASH winning best picture. (And why do I care? Dunno).<BR/><BR/>I've been loving reading that Oscar book you gave me by Steve Pond--perfect Oscar week indulgence.<BR/><BR/>Did you not do an Oscar ballot this year, or have I been cut off for non-payment of pool fees? If the latter, I'm sure I've earned my punishment!<BR/><BR/>Did I really see a commercial for Joan Rivers & her monstrous daughter doing another pre-Oscar show, or was that just a very bad dream?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
