Academy Award trivia
I did not know this, so maybe you didn't either:
"The Academy Awards will be presented Sunday night at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Chris Rock is this year's host, but we anticipate endless post show analysis regarding the starlets' dresses, the acceptance speeches, and most of all, the "snubs."
"Regarding snubs, a lot of folks claim Paul Giamatti (son of late baseball commissioner Bart Giamatti) should have been nominated for Best Actor in "Sideways." "Kinsey" was also largely dissed by the academy, and Michael Moore came up zeros with "Fahrenheit 9/11." etc. etc. (rest of the story)

If you have a problem with the concept of "registering" for a newspaper or periodical (like this one for the Globe), go to http://bugmenot.com/ and then enter their link (it starts with http://) into the space provided. You will then receive the article with no record of your private info). No extra charge for that tip

I saw the awards with friends in Laurel Canyon. Two doors down lives Bob Mackey, I think the dress designer of all of Cher's "gowns" through the years. My friends' dog is friends with a screenwriter's dog up the street. The woman who played the crazy wife in Soap lives around the corner. I'll tell you, it adds a whole new dimension to watching the awards (and with 2 gay guys, to boot- yes, Chris Rock is right; gay men do look at the gowns). Just feels like a local party.
