When it slips into mean-spirited snark and Heidi’s personal wish fulfillment, it’s just kind of sad. When The Beat focuses on interesting news and commentary, it’s quite enjoyable.

He's a great ad-libber. There just wasn't much to work with this year, I think. He just seemed more concerned with congratulating people this year than last time he hosted. Maybe because he took a lot of heat for being too funny at the expense of the celebs previously. Anything beats Ellen. I disagree about Jon Stewart. He’s a great ad-libber.

Another one of those boring latter days Disney. Great animation but paint-by-numbers plot. Am I the only one who didn’t find Ratatouille the least bit funny?

I mean, it may be a brilliant, incredibly funny cartoon about a cooking rat, but its still a cartoon about a cooking rat against a film with actual meaning beyond "be yourself! objectivism is cool!", and I'm saying this as probably the biggest cartoon dork I know. even though Ratatouille is perhaps my favorite Pixar film, I still think Persepolis should have won.

I get to read enough twelve year-old boy posts on other comics sites that the occasional twelve year-old girl post here is kind of refreshing.

She'll know better for next time. I tape the Oscars and then fast forward through the whole thing, stopping only to catch a few of the funny bits and some of the acceptance speeches. Takes about 20 minutes. I'm A-OK with the Bros Coen NOT declaring themselves Kings of the World, though they are the kings of my movie-lovin' heart.
