it's hard out there for the television viewer

the best part about the oscars is that there is nothing wrong about being a totally harsh critic. we know these people have had plenty of time - planning their outfits for months, plenty of help - stylists, hair and makeup, they have no excuse not to look their best. and when they are up on stage i expect to be entertained, if p.s. hoffman can't give an amazing two minute speech who can? and jon stewart, he's professional funny man - i want to laugh out loud. all in all, the 78th was pretty disappointing or maybe i am just bitter because i lost my 5 dollars to someone who went online to find the odds.
