One Funny Movie!
Watched the Oscars on Monday (yes, the broadcast was on here at 10AM). I thought the show was so-so. Ellen was a little funny (her bits with Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood were the best) but not a lot. Most of the people who were supposed to win won. That said, the genuine surprise and joy from Jennifer Hudson made me smile; it was a nice moment on a night that's often filled with phoniness.
The best thing to come out of the Oscars for me was West Bank Story, the winner for best live action short film. It's a 20-minute musical about two competing falafel stands in the West Bank... with a whole lot of West Side Story thrown in. (This one's definitely for you, Becca Knight!) Rose and I laughed so hard! We downloaded the movie through iTunes but there might be other ways to get it. Here's a link to the movie's web site: http://www.westbankstory.com/.
