5 hours of my life I'll never get back
1st off... I often wonder why I even want a blog because it's clear that I can't devote even 5 min of my day to typing something up. Hell, I don't even know when was the last time I actually blogged, let alone, blogged about something insignificant (which technically is every single post I ever make).
Anywho, sat in front of the TV today for way too many hours... hours that I'll never get back. Not that I totally regret it or anything, but still, how pathetic! Nothing I'm too proud of, but if you know me well enough, you know that I'm obsessed/addicted to the entertainment world. So, what was the big deal w/ tonight, aside from the fact that it's Leap Day? The Oscars were on. I was pretty much glued to my TV set from 5 pm PST to about 10:30 pm, watching the pre-show, the show, the Barbara Walters' spcl etc.
As I reflect (like a tv event such as this one really needs reflection) back to my evening, there really wasn't a pnt in watching it. There were no upsets, no surprises, nothing. The highlight, as usual, was Billy Crystal's opening #. I love the "inserting himself" into different scenes from movies & of course, the opening song & dance. Other than that, nothing too spectacular. No Adrian Brody kissing Halle Berry moment. No flashing of Janet Jackson's boob. The only "excitement" of night was The Barbarian Invasions winning Best Foreign Language Film & the fact that LoTR made a total & complete sweep! 11 Oscars for the film & all rightfully deserved. However, I do have one odd Q about their nominations... how in hell does a movie get nominated & win the Best Sound Mixing award & get snubbed in the Best Sound Editing award? Granted, I'm not exactly knowledgable in this area... but it still seems a bit odd to me.
