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?

    Best Song

    Leonard Berstein is turning in his grave. On what planet does this song even rate a nomination? I go to the movies,love the movies and love good music no matter what the genre. I know the contenders were not that strong, but what the F--k is up with the academy? That crap gets an Oscar? They should have bleeped the whole damn thing except I couldn't understand it or the winners (drugs or poor english skills?) Sorry, didn't mean to insult drugs that way. Cuss away, you won't offend ... but don't insult my intelligence by saying that award was merited.
