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?

    Add Me to The List Who Thought Stewart

    was absolutely fine. Not great, but it's the Oscars, for Christ sake. We don't have Sasheen Littlefeather and streakers anymore. This is big bizness, baby. Stewart looked a little uncomfortable, but he's East Coast, as opposed to Hollywood. Stewart's humor is more cosmopolitan, less the manic "la, la, la, la --- hey lady!" schtick you get from Hollywood types.

    I honestly don't know what people expected of him. As far as I'm concerned, they should have turned the whole thing into an extended Daily Show episode it would have been a lot more fun.

    Next year - Colbert at the Oscars, pretending to be one of those "Hollywood is out of the mainstream" types.
