My Only Oscar Comment
Yeah, I watched the Oscars, though I seldom find them entertaining any more. My wife and I were able to attend about 20 years ago (the year Clint Eastwood won for Unforgiven) and go to the Governor's Ball afterward so we have a certain nostalgia for the event. Only one image really sticks with me, and it was before the show. It was an image of George Clooney high-fiving his fans, but doing it separated by a chain link fence. Even the President still greets the public in person from time to time. To me, it was a brutal caricature of a Hollywood actor trying to pretend he is engaging with the common man but utterly failing to do so.
Barton Fink.
There's nothing more common in Hollywood than an actor.

I'm getting old. Has it been that long ago?
They should have a picture of the Oscar (R) (TM) statue in the dictionary next to the definition of the word 'autofellate.'
Unforgiven won in 1993, so not quite 20 years. Hard to believe it was 17 years ago. Same year I met my wife - time flies.
