Without going through each of my picks on the Miramax Oscar Challenge contest, it looks like I did fairly well but probably not enough to win anything. I got the two Best Actor awards correct, as well as some lesser awards, but I'm sure I wasn't close enough to have a chance. Oh well, I wasn't expecting to win anyway...as I said in the linked post, I hadn't seen any of the movies except for the one short "Paperman". (and I read that the producer of the short was thrown out of the ceremonies for a brief time because, when the award was announced, she threw several paper airplanes from the top balcony)
I didn't watch a single moment of the show, but checking the Drudge Report to see who had won, I decided I wanted to see the "We Saw Her Boobs" song Seth McFarlane did that caused such controversy. I thought it hilarious.
I am a conservative, but enjoy McFarlane's "Family Guy" as well as "American Dad!" (to a lesser extent) Both shows poke fun at traditional values but it would be disingenuous to say they only slam conservatives. (that's another post for another time) I really enjoyed the skit with William Shatner as Captain Kirk calling from the future to tell McFarland he was rapidly ruining the show. I wouldn't be able to compare any recent hosts with McFarland, but from what I saw, he did a fairly good job. He wasn't as good as Billy Crystal, but he was much better than the abomination that was David Letterman's performance.
I'm really glad I missed the Best Picture award presentation, the Oscar announced by Michelle Obama. I have no love for President Obama, but am growing very weary of seeing her mug on the news or anywhere two or more celebrities are gathered together. (It seems I'm not the only one) I've ranted about this before, but it's sickening how Hollywood and the progressive leftists are in bed together. (I suspect most in the audience were top donors to Obama's campaigns) It's bad enough that far too many movies mock Christianity and conservatives, but to have politics take over the awards show that honors those films (even more than usual)...well, it's just one more reason I'm glad I didn't watch.
