This previous week was so long it seems like a month since the last update (which is in fact true of my Jimmy Buffett page). Last time, I was talking about the Oscars. I very much enjoyed Steve Martin’s hosting, and I thought the show was pretty satisfactory. I liked how the wealth was spread fairly well: I’m glad Steven Soderberg won (since being nominated twice in the same year would seem enough to make him the Best Director), but I still don’t see why Gladiator was deemed Best Picture. But then again 2000 didn’t seem like that great a year in movies anyway.
