ahh, the oscars. like my current reading (for a narsty anthro class) about textiles, i find that i can truly enjoy it because i have no personal involvement in the medium. film, as the surrealists said nearly 100 years ago, is the bravest and best medium. me, i can't deal w/ the sensory overload - music alone makes me crazy, and everything else is like overkill. still the oscars are great because i can just indulge in that weird american royalty that is hollywood - where the men can joke about anything but the anorexic on their arm, and the women all vie to have the most fabulous up-do - not unlike my high school prom back in ohio. very odd, still, that theron was so paris hilton like, no?
