Slog - Comments on The Oscars: Hour Three http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/the_oscars 7:42: Oh my God! Best Documentary will soon be upon us! Go James Longley! 7:47: OH MY GOD! Al Gore finallly won something!! 7:49: Well done, Al Gore. (I mean his words not his looks.) 7:58: If Clint Eastwood were a real man, and a real friend of Ennio Morricone, he would have shot Celine Dion. 8:08: "Babel"'s first award of the night. Truth be told, the only reason I don't want it to win Best Picture is because it would prove my prediction wrong. But if that's how the gods of the Academy think it should be, I understand....

I don't see how that score could possibly have lost, unless it was up against a John Williams blockbuster.

Celine Dion must be stopped. Mr. Morricone's career should not be reduced to a lame version of a terrible song. He was not about songs.
