Usually, I am not that interested in watching The Oscar<\/a>. Usually they are pretty boring. And usually I don’t agree with both nominations and awards.<\/p>\n

But this time I had two reasons to watch the show. <\/p>\n

The first one was Jon Stewart of The Daily Show<\/a> fame. He is hilarious. This is the only TV show that I have watched almost religiously in my life. I missed him already, because he didn’t appear on the show for the few days (probably because of his preparations for the Oscar ceremony). I needed my humor fix.<\/p>\n

The second reason was “Crash<\/a>“. I was very surprised to see it nominated. If you don’t remember, I reviewed it<\/a> earlier last year. It was one of the best movies I’ve seen ever. And it was one of the most underpromoted movies too.<\/p>\n

In case “Crash” would have won any awards I could read about it the next day, so I didn’t have to see the show for that. What I wanted to see the show for was the reaction of the audience if wouldn’t have won anything.<\/p>\n

I’m glad to report that I both enjoyed watching the ceremony (Jon Stewart was as good as I expected him to be, or even better) and “Crash” won a few Oscars, including the “main” one – The best motion picture of the year.<\/p>\n

My faith in Oscar awards and ceremony shows might just get a little stronger…<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
