Early Oscar moans

Columnist grouses because other people don't share his same tastes. Hijinks ensue! Okay, not really. But is this the best thing Jonathan V. Last could think of to write? Does anyone really care about the Oscars anymore? Sure, I think it would be fine and dandy if Peter Jackson and the cast and crew of The Lord of the Rings got a collection of those ugly little gold statues to use as table centerpieces, paper weights, door stops... But if they don't it isn't going to diminish my liking of the movie one iota. And if a lack of sufficient Oscar points keeps certain people to whom that is a criteria for watching a movie away from LOTR, that can only be to the good.

Don't knock the Oscars. A lot of gay men find them very entertaining.

I find them very entertaining, and I am not a gay man. (I AM, however, a gay woman trapped in a mans body.)

Um, I think that comes under the heading "TMI," Gary.
