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?

    Who Bombed?

    After reading most of the preceding 7 pages of letters, I've yet to find one that agrees with Cintra Wilson's take on much of the Oscars, especially her conclusion that Jon Stewart bombed. I listened to the live webcast and it seems she spent most of her time thinking up scathing one-liners for the up coming commercial breaks, which is what most of her article today consists of as well. At least Camille had a few interesting comments to make when she wasn't being cut off by Wilson's next joke.

    It seems pretty clear who really bombed here. I just hope Wilson has the guts to take it to heart and reign in her knee-jerk, self-serving "cultural criticism."
