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?

    The most boring show on earth

    The reason Cintra's commentary is not up to par this year is because the Oscars were SO DAMN BORING!

    I watch faithfully every year and this time I couldn't even be bothered to sit through the last half.

    Jon Stewart did what he could, but I'm really getting sick of Hollywood engaging in mutual masturbation/endless montages/comparing themselves to civil rights leaders for 3.5 hours. And if you're going to do that, at least bring in Tom Cruise and the Scientology baby host vessel to spice up the show.
