I don't like the Academy Awards much, and hadn't planned on watching, although my three daughters are already glued to pre-event coverage of the "red carpet." Among other things, the last thing I need to hear is moronic anti-Bush commentary by "comedians" and actors. But, cruising Yahoo News photos as I often do, I ran across this photo, hot off the press (so to speak), of Beyonce Knowles, who will perform tonight:

I changed my mind. I'm watching after all.

UPDATE: That was a mistake, of course. One "Chris Rock," the host, whom I've never otherwise heard of, led off with an idiotic anti-Bush tirade. $70 trillion? Interesting statistic. What was noteworthy was not the host, who obviously knows nothing, but the crowd--every single person there laughed and applauded. So much for the Academy Awards. I'm curling up with a good book, about which more later.

UPDATE 2: For those interested in more of an insider's take than mine (ha! that would be just about anyone's), Roger Simon has been live-blogging the ceremony.
