How
It was a good night for the actual winners. I continue to feel that
the Oscars are tending in the direction of awarding the rightful films
the proper awards. I was pleased that THE HURT LOCKER won for Best
Picture. As to the ceremony itself, I thought all the big-time glamor
was there
I know what you mean Channing, and agree with it to a large degree, but it *
IS* kind of ironic that the stars you reference were 1940s and 1950s stars,
*EXACTLY* the kind of stars Gloria Swanson's Norma Desmond was criticizing
as being faceless (when compared to the classic silent stars)!
Maybe
It is a shame. too, that the Academy did not continue with the
segment they did, maybe one time, about 10 years ago, when they took
15 minutes, opened the curtain, and there, onstage, were many of the
stars from yesteryear, including people like olivia dehavilland,

They did this last year, as well... not sure how well this plays, but
