The Podium
 

 
Some critical theory, some public discourse, and some general nerdiness.

Last night Chicago unfortunately won best picture, and also won for Catherine Zeta-Jones the best supporting actress Oscar. With the disappointment that an undeserving musical won such a high award, there were the pleasant surprises that Frida won for best makeup and other nominations, and The Pianist also did quite well. It is actually very sad that Gangs of New York did not win one Oscar. Overall, out of my eight predictions I was correct for four of them. Special appreciation to Michael Moore for being so brave as to denounce the war and the Bush regime in his acceptance speech. It was real moxie, and had more directness to it than other wishes for peace made by other winners such as Adrien Brody and Chris Cooper.
