  1. Pretty Good…
    I enjoyed Steve Martin (Hollywood gets a little full of itself and needs lampooning often).

    Also, the special appearance by Arthur C. Clarke was a very nice touch.

  2. [OT] Maybe later…
    Later, I may be able to rant coherently. I’m still miffed about both the Academy and the fashion critics dissing Kate Hudson. :-)
