The HOT Oscar II

Hot divas and handsome sauves strolled down the red carpet in their haute couture pirouetting about for the court of paparazzi.

Jon Stewart kept things interesting at the event and even though it was a bit "edgy" for the Academy Awards, dirty south rap group Three Six Mafia nabbed a Oscar for best original song, "It's Hard Out There For a Pimp" (as heard in "Hustle and Flow). Who would've figured ...the day when the word, "pimp" would be correlated with "Oscars."

Who's the Daddy? Oscar is the DADDY...

Who should've won: [Fill in your choice here]

Everyone I know feels ambivalent about "Crash" receiving the best picture award. It had a lot of cool tunes and will market well and well... it's an L A movie. Each film in this category brought a certain amount of panache to Hollywood's bland array of movies.

Each film has something that the other one doesn't have. "Crash" may have won, but that doesn't necessarily make it the best picture of the year. Among all of these choices, it is the weakest link in a powerful cinematic chain. So, feel free to take your pick in this one. I am too ambivalent when it comes to this. What do you think?
