Obligatory Oscar chatter

Haven't seen the Oscar results yet? Click here [1]. 

Former Minnesotans Diablo Cody and Coen Bros. won big. I consider all the hoopla related to "No Country for Old Men" payback for snubbing a Coen Bros. classic: "The Big Lebowski"

But, "No Country for Old Men" is awesome. Violent and unpleasant, but awesome.

High points from the Oscars:

"Falling Slowly" performance by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova

I'm so glad they won for best song. I've seen "Once" and every time I hear that song, I start bawling --it's that good.

You should go rent "Once" or better yet, check out The Frames [2]

Other high points? Was Jon Stewart too snarky or right on? Too many montages? Too few montages? Do we need a montage celebration of montages?
