What you see is what you get

maypirateAnd so I watched the Academy Awards with the rest of the world. As usual, I lost the "guess the winners" contest at work because I got a bunch of things wrong, including best actor and actress and song and costumes. Almost everything else went exactly as I expected.
Chris Pine was suddenly on the screen and then gone. Into the night.
To be honest, I didn't care for a lot of the show, but I know a bunch of other people really liked it, so there will be no parade-raining here. I thought Gabourey Sidibe was adorable and I'm mad at myself for not getting to "Precious" sooner, because the pre-street is sitting on my floor and I have to return it tomorrow and I know if I try to watch it now I'll fall asleep.
Anyway. I feel sort of bleary-eyed. I love movies and I hate them at the same time and they eat my face endlessly. I surprised myself with how many movie-related questions posed by Chris and my mom I could answer without thinking. Watching the awards made me want to see "Inglorious Basterds," which I've been ignoring for a long time, and while I'm interested in "The Hurt Locker," my one regret about its win is that it's going to become even more popular at the store than it already is (it's been one of the top rentals since it came out), and I won't be able to see it for a long time. Poot.
But boo on you, Academy, for not remembering Bea Arthur and Farah Fawcett. :(
