Finally, It’s Over
Posted in Academy Awards on February 26th, 2008 by William SperuzziThe 30 Second 80th Academy Awards Hangover Edition Obligatory Post Rundown:
- Miley Ray Cyrus enters the coliseum. We are one incremental step closer to the end.
- Jon Stewart, witty stuff, good job. Classy move giving the Once singer/songwriter Marketa Irglova a chance to say her piece after being rudely ushered offstage by the music cue cut-off.
- Diablo Cody wins “Best Original Screenplay.” Where does her fairy tale career go from here?
- No memoriam dedication to actors Brad Renfro and Roy Scheider. I don’t care about the dates covered. Bad taste!
- Bardem takes the Supporting Actor award for playing “some expressionless guy who goes around blowing shit up.” More>
- Plainview drinks the Academy’s milkshake. Now we can all officially stop referencing “that” scene.
- Introduced by Marty, the Coen Brothers take home a couple of little golden men in their usual aloof demeanor.
Overall analysis: yawn.
