Oscars, I wish I knew how to quit you. And that will be the last Brokeback joke, I promise. And the last words on the Oscars.

[Edited to add: Defamer pretty much sums it up--all you need to read is the 8:23 post.]

Dude! What was up with orange dress boobs? Was Ryan Philippe's jump up and down enthusiasm at the Crash big win compensation for his envy of Reese? Who was orange dress boobs? And yes, best pic producer was really thanking her husband and wife when cut off by commercial...lame...
