...the brilliant charge of their infrequent couplings was darkened by the sense of time flying, never enough time, never enough
So, how 'bout them Oscars?

First and foremost, Jon Stewart did a fantastic job hosting. I demand that he be invited next year as well.

Second, Crash won. Damn. It's not a bad movie by any means, but in my opinion, it was the weakest of the five. (And vastly overrated, but I won't get into that here.)

Furthermore, it's disappointing that Good Night and Good Luck was shut out yet again. It's a great film.

I'm, however, very pleased that Brokeback won best adapted screenplay. (Yay for Brokeback!)

Overall, I think the Oscars went very well this year. Everything went on time, it was entertaining, there were some great speeches, and the nominees of the major categories were truly worthy of the title. Congrats to everyone involved.

As for the pimp song winning the award, I found it terribly amusing, but not too surprising. Eminem did win the Oscar for the very same category a couple years back, so it's not as if it's the first time this has happened. (Eminem technically isn't hip-hop, but whatever!)

Lastly, since this is the perfect opportunity to do some plugging, here's the beautiful short story the Brokeback Mountain film was based off of.

A warning to those who are unfamiliar with the plot: it's a love story, yes, but it's love at its most raw and painful.

They were raised on small, poor ranches in opposite corners of the state...

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I added a song, which you can listen to above. Doesn't work on Firefox, though, which is a shame because it's so very pretty.
