Oscars tonight? Meh.

This past week the Oscars have been pretty much been overshadowed by the twin media circuses of Britney Spears shaving her head as she goes in and out of rehab and the final trainwreck of Anna Nicole Smith and the court battles over her estate and baby. Maybe the current slate of films up for the Oscars don't have the iconic aura as the previous year's line-ups. Or maybe the "gay mafia*" is still pissed over Brokeback Mountain getting snubbed the Best Picture award last year and have decided to retalite by taking time away from who's going to be wearing what on the red carpet that usually goes to the usual infotainment shows around this time of year and refocusing that time on Brit and Anna instead; I guess that having Ellen DeGeneres as the host of tonight's show and Jennifer Hudson/Dreamgirls were insufficent bait for them! Talk about karmic payback! I guess the gays will be singing Billy Joel's "Say Goodbye To Hollywood" tonight!
