Okay, so why wasn't Steve Irwin in the dead peoples montage? Yes, I know he was mostly a TV guy, but he did make his own documentary AND he appeared in one of the Eddie Murphy Dr. Doolittle movies.
Hmm, maybe that's why.....

Oscar summary
Yawn!
Okay, it wasn't that bad. I thought Ellen was a great host--much better than Jon Stewart. It was nice to see Alan Arkin win.
But, beyond that...boring! I think there are 2 reasons for this. Most of the categories were not surprises. The exceptions being Alan Arkin's win and best picture. I'll admit that I like it when there is no frontrunner for best picture (but I like it much more when there IS a front runner, which is a terrible movie, and it loses!). The thing is that I will never see The Departed. I sat through Gangs of New York and The Aviator, both of which I thought were terrible movies. Forgive me if I'm not first in line to see the next Martin Scorsese/Leonardo di Caprio film.
And to think I missed The Amazing Race for that (or, if my Studmuffin had his way, The Simpsons).
