I will say, though, that I thought the 'am I supposed to be picking Uma over Jeaneane' was kinda the point of the movie [and that answer being "no, not necessarily"], but that me.

Like being told I'm supposed to pick Uma Thurman over Janeane Garafalo in "The Truth About Cats and Dogs".... Word. And I get that the message was supposed to be that maybe you should go for the cute radio host over the white hot model, but...that movie was just about the worst Uma have ever looked, and about the best Janeane has ever looked, so I was never getting the whole "white hot model" thing. There was no "look beneath the surface" stuff because even on the surface Janeane was way cuter. And completely agree on "Kate and Leopold" too. Kristen Schaal is adorable. Meg...looked like she had work done. What's she gonna do back in the 1840s or whatever after her botox and restylane wear off? I'm all for a much broader definition of "beautiful." There seems to be only one mold in Hollywood. Just watching a little bit of British TV you can see that there seems to be a little more flexibility there and you've got people on TV shows who look like actual people. Not some plastic version of what actual people look like. Hollywood, we're not even asking you to drop the plastic Barbie dolls. Just make room for others.

Dear Women of Hollywood,
Please dress for the Academy Awards like it's the Academy Awards and not the Golden Globes or a movie premiere. Going through the red carpet photos, if I didn't know it was the Oscars, I would have never have guessed it. I know it's a weak period in general for high fashion but it's still possible to do so much better than they managed last night.

Please put me in charge of next years Oscars. I would shorten the show to two hours and it would actually be entertaining. I could not even get through the whole show this year; it was that bad.

Dear Hollywood:
Please get Will Ferrell and/or Chris Rock to host next year's Oscars.

No no, after Natalie Portman's "I love Billy because he's not mean" I want them to get Ricky Gervais. Or Sasha Baron Cohen.
Speaking of Natalie, dear Hollywood: can we now finally put to to rest the whole thing about her being the smartest person on the planet? I've never heard her say anything that makes her appear very intelligent, she has no charm at all, is a mediocre actrss in most of her films and can't even read off a teleprompter convincingly.

I thought Jon Stewart was a good host (maybe this belongs in Unpopular Opinions)...

I thought Jon Stewart, David Letterman, and Chris Rock were are all good hosts. I did not see Ellen host her year -- how was she?

My vote is for Christopher Guest and Company to host. Fred Willard obsessed with movie monkeys for three hours and Jennifer Coolidge squicking out over anything? Sign me up!

I'd love to see Hugh Jackman host again. Charming, multi-talented, handsome, and - because of all his live theatre experience - probably able to think quickly on his feet.
