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?

    Oscar has never been an anatomically correct action figure.

    Cintra -

    1. To vicariously revel in the debauch of creative freedom, you have to watch the Golden Globes.

    2. I'm pretty sure there was some duct tape involved in Felicity Huffman's underwear. That was quite a display of mid-chest real estate for such a slender woman.

    3. Yes, Reese is nice, but she has range - I suggest re-viewing Freeway.

    4. Bleeping Joan Rivers as much as possible, even when profanity is not an issue, is a favor to us all. I would prefer watching a test pattern.

    Oscars have always been a stilted effort at trying to put the best face on a pretty clueless, pretentious industry - one that tends to ignore the occasional flares of personal genius that do grind into being. The best you can hope for, as with last night's effort, is that it wasn't as stupid as some other times.
