Were you among the 40+ million people who watched the Academy Awards on Sunday night?
Me too.
First thing's first: I saw some boobs.
Their names were Seth and MacFarlane.
Equally disturbing was discovering that the world has officially run out of faces, and he is the identical (15 year younger) twin brother of Peter "Pork Chopshh and Apple Shhauce" Brady.
Wonder what Tina & Amy are doing next year? They're delightful.
Anyway, maybe Argo was deserving of Best Picture (even though Les Mis was Les Robbed), but I haven't seen it yet. In fact, after 85 winners dating back to 1927, I've only seen 34 of them. And I only liked 12.
Typically, the Academy's idea of a great movie and mine aren't the same.
You too?
Well, if I was handing out 13.5" naked gold men, MY 85 (yes, eighty-five -- just go with it) awards would go to...
