the tattooed Oscar

I quit watching the Academy Awards ceremonies… well, about the time my son was born, and he’ll be 31 in April.
Up till then, we’d gone to the movies almost every week no matter what was playing, and the chances that I’d actually seen the pictures that got nominated were pretty good. Afterwards, we didn’t go to the movies anywhere near as often, and that was in the days well before video rental stores.
And as time went by, I cared less and less about any of it, to tell you the truth. It was plenty good enough to pick up the
next day’s newspapers and glance over the list of winners. I still haven’t seen several of the award-winners from that day to this.
After we moved to California it got better, because the show would be over by the time the 10pm news came on, and we could watch the winners without having to watch all the drivel as well. Pretty sweet deal.
All this is by way of saying that I think Diablo Cody had the best Oscar outfit of all. More red-carpet folks should follow her example, right?
