Hey, how about them 2007 Oscars??

I thought they did a pretty bang-up job with the show last night. Reading the newspaper this morning, and watching some of the morning shows though, I get the impression that others felt words like "boring", "awkward" and "overly long" fit the bill better. (Bill Better...not a bad name for a chronic gambler...)

Well, to be honest, Mrs. That Dan Guy and I didn't go into this year's event overly-well prepared. For the first time in years, we had only seen TWO of the nominated films - Dreamgirls & Superman Returns. We've heard lots of good things about the others though, like that Peter Pan's Lab Sink (???), and Miss Sunshine. Hope to see them soon.

More importantly, we couldn't get our minds off the fact that our Calgary Flames have fallen to EIGHTH place in their division!! 8th place!! This is disastrous...

However, Ellen Degeneres did a fine job of hosting the awards show - and we loved the comedy skit with Will Ferrell, and Jack Black. Even better - the rapid application of the band to cut off the acceptance speeches. I'd like to see them start even sooner, maybe as the winners are walking up to the microphone, but that could just be me...

Better run, going to get an early morning haircut...

Chow for now!!
