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?

    Way to get it wrong.

    Jon was good, very good. The Russell Crowe 'looking like he got into a fight' joke, that killed. I mean, his opening monologue wasn't perfect, but that's Jon. You need to watch an episode of the Daily Show sometime Ms. Wilson, as even the biggest fan of the show can tell you: the jokes don't always work.

    Oh, and the Martin Scorsese/Three Six Mafia joke was priceless.

    Hell, Jon was even smart enough to allow the disembodied voice of Stephen Colbert to tag along. Colbert's segments of candidate bashing were some of the funniest things in the damn show.

    Reese getting the oscar is nowhere near the conspiracy you pegged it to be. Sure, we all wanted Felicity to get the award, but even Salon.com readers recognize the very small gap between Reese and Felicity, with 6 points seperating them in the poll.

    Get off your g.d. high horse before it bucks you off into the mud.

    It may be getting less hard out here for a pimp, but it's getting harder to tolerate alarmist A&E writers by the moment. I'm personally waiting for the most flamboyant backlash ever, should be a ball.
