Oscars 2006

I'm amazed "Crash" won for best picture. Not that I thought it was a BAD film, but I don't think it was better than the other nominees, especially "Brokeback Mountain." Hopefully it will start a trend of making more films about topical events in today's society that are often written off as 'business as usual.'

Reese Witherspoon's speech was perfect- she seems like a really nice person as well as a great actress. It's nice to see someone scandal-free in Hollywood who values family and decency over promiscuity and self-importance.

And just a quick note on fashion (the least important but most talked about part of the night): ladies- don't wear a dress or hairstyle that you're going to have to fidget with all night! A strapless dress is fine if you can refrain from hitching it up over your boobs fifty times-- if you can't, for fear that they'll pop out, you've got the wrong dress. And Selma Hyak? You're beautiful, I love you, and tossing your hair back over your shoulder once is sexy. But doing it 4 times in 2 minutes makes you look like an idiot.

Jon Stewart is brilliant. Maybe the funniest, smartest presenter ever. Way to point out how ridiculous it is that "It's Hard Out There for a Pimp" won, but Scorcese is still without a statue.

Congrats to all the winners out there- I hope to work with you all someday, especially you, PTH; you and your wife may be clueless about fashion, but you can act like a HOUSE ON FIRE!!!!!! Rock on.
