Anyway, whoo! for me (and Rand!). I got 14 picks right. And although most of the show was a big snoozefest, I was glad I was watching to see Martin Scorsese win. It was pretty obvious when Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Francis Ford Copppola came out to present that he was going to get it.

Other thoughts…I have no interest in seeing The Queen, but Helen Mirren totally made me want to see The Queen. She was stunning. I also enjoyed Ellen’s hosting. Hm. That’s it for now. Maybe more later.
