Matt is Around

Oscar, can you hear me?

Dear Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences:

I watched part of the Oscars last night and I must say that you guys are terrible people. I mean I give you credit for managing to prevent Meryl Streep from turning into the Hulk* and rending Sandra Bullock limb from limb. But you let that monster, Oprah, make the sweet girl fromĀ Precious cry. Seriously, are those little gold statues worth the bittersweet tears of youth?** And what about Avatar?! When was the last time a movie about blue people who live in plants recognized for anything important? Even eco-Smurfs deserve some love.

Also, Molly Ringwald needs to take lessons on being a better public speaker, she was so stilted that it seemed like someone had just told her that her teen daughter was pregnant before going on stage.

Love, Matt

* STREEP HULK SMASH!
**Slumdog Millionaire proves that they are.
