Controversial song “It’s Hard out there for a pimp” by 36 mafia from “Hustle and Flow” wins for best original song!

John Stewart is doing a great job as Oscar host, and I love the fake political ads by Steven Colbert!

The Oscars, though, should be cut to a two hour show. The program is full of small categories and self-congratulatory clips and in jokes. They relegate the technical awards to a separate event, and they should also move most of the small awards to a different ceremony. It’s interesting to see the costume designers and special effects people get awards, and they should have their moment, but it’s just way too long to sit through.

I’m just feeling guilty for staying up this long to watch a bunch of filler. It’s too… long…
After about a half an hour the thrill of seeing all the celebrities in one room wears out. No wonder the ratings are getting lower every year.
