Oscar castrates himself

The Academy celebrates niceness, bleeps out "bitch" and pats itself on the back for good behavior. And what did they do to poor Jon Stewart?

    No Narcissists?

    Cintra must have missed Robert Altman's speech. Near the end of a pretty boring, standard thank-you, he said that he was living on borrowed time, because he'd had a heart transplant about 10 years ago. Then he said that the donor was, he thought, a 39-year-old woman. Obviously the woman is now dead, so the transplant must have been pretty tragic for the donor and her family. Did Altman mention this? No! He didn't thank her or her family, didn't even mention her name! He just crowed that now he would be around for a long time! It was an awesomely horrible moment, and definitely put a capital "N" in Narcissicist. Thank you, Robert Altman.
