Oscar Wrap-Up
Jared blogs the Academy Awards in typically insightful fashion, in case you want a quick catch-up. I have nothing to add regarding who won what.
Except to say...LOTR: 11-0...what a sweep!
If you watch the show long enough, you almost begin to think that it's about something important. And, I suppose it is, to someone. A bunch of people rely on the represented industries to support their families, and their products can entertain and uplift people around the world. Actually, while I (and a bunch of you, too) make jokes at Hollywood's expense, the truth of the matter is that those who are sincerely committed to their art and craft and who work diligently at it day in and day out are no less to be commended than the majority of other people who happened to have found themselves working in other trades.
It's when they take themselves so dang seriously that they really chap my behind!
And, in the end, the commercials for the Academy Awards broadcast kicked some serious Super Bowl rear, across the board. And that's what counts!
That instrument Sting was playing is called a hurdy-gurdy. Very interesting and beautiful instrument, IMHO.

Well said and SO true.
