The Academy Awards "an important evening"? Please.

If a film is great, or important, or whatever, it is that because it stands above the rest all on it's own. Without any of the decadent and obscene "glitter and glamour" crap.

That said, I too watched for the entertainment value of Jon Stewart, but sadly, there was nothing he could do to save the day. This awards show must die. Jon Stewart struggled admirably to liven it up, but it is not to be. This is, quite simply, the most boring night on tv of the year.

Best jokes of the evening: Billy Crystal and Chris Rock in the teepee & the Dick Cheney joke.
