Prepare to be bamboozled by lots on Global Warming.
Kudos to Ellen Degeneres for insisting that a lot of the political commentary be scrapped. But we should still expect it.
Helen Mirin gets it for the Queen. You know you're rooting for her.
NOTE TO ABC: Your pre-Oscar show sucks and has sucked for years and years. Your hosts and co-hosts are the most annoying has beens ever to be in front of a camera.
UPDATED:
I have watched the Academy Awards just about every year in the past twenty. This is truly one of the worst -- and not for the political stuff, which really hasn't been as bad as in some years (like 2004).
Ellen is not very funny. The transitional effects look cheap. The shadow people doing the stuff behind the screen are lame. It's very boring.
in past years, they put some the Supporting Actor/Actress awards up front. You had a big intro, a lull in the middle, and then the build at the end. This year, with the lame intro and nothing big, everything has petered out. There is no energy this year.
UPDATE:
Surprise! Algore won for Documentary. What do Al and Global Warming having in common? They both suck moisture.
BTW, be sure to read this by Patrick Michaels debunking most of Gore's global warming crap.
