    Cintra, cintra, cintra.

    What is up with her? I thought John was fine. As someone said his Three Six Mafia / Scorsese joke made the whole show almost worth watching. And the Oscars was what its always been. Its true there really were no surprises and no scandal. But it certainly wasn't the drone fest that Cintra makes it out to be. In fact it seems like she's just writing the article to create a controversy out of nothing.

    The real question is, why did Salon put her covering the oscars instead of someone who has a clue like Stephanie Zacharek? Maybe we would have gotten some interesting commentary, instead of a teenage socialite review.
