Adding to the hypocrisy, I watched the Oscars last night. I know, I know, after that last post you’d think I’d boycott them, but I told you, I just love Johnny Depp way too much. (Since the age of 14…eeeeee.) I really do have a love/hate relationship with Hollywood… love good acting, hate pretentious beliefs and behaviors.

It was a fairly predictable affair, with the single upset of Tilda Swinton winning “Best Supporting Actress” for Michael Clayton. I was ecstatic to see that my favorite couple Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova won for “Best Song.” Once is one of the best flicks I saw last year. The acting, directing, writing and music are all excellent. In fact, you’d probably think it was a true documentary if you didn’t know better. Unfortunately, it’s rated R. Unfortunate because despite the language, it’s a very clean, poignant, well-written film that truly moves you. Meanwhile, you get a bunch of PG-13 crap out there with nudity and all sorts of crassness that makes me wonder about the MPAA rating system.
