What the? I just tuned into the Oscars with Jennifer Aniston at the podium. What's wrong with the sound? It's out of sync by an iota. It's something else. They seem to be lip-syncing. Is it, like, a protest, or something?

UPDATE: Call me shallow, but I liked the skit between Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep.

I can always use a little Lily Tomlin.

I like Robert Altman, too.

UPDATE II: John Travolta looks terrific for a man of his age, if a little thick in the middle. He did "Saturday Night Fever" in 1977.

Lyman tells me he was in Natchez once. He'd dance with the local girls and awe them with his moves.

UPDATE III: Screenwriting (well, best adapted screenplay) went to Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana. Who is Diana Ossana? There's a confident woman for you. She'll rope your calf and kick your ass in the same minute, and you'll goggle at her beauty at the same time. Think Jerri Hall with smarts.
