Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Inception's special effects were truly impressive.

Yeah, if it hadn't won, I would have been like WHAT.

Although I'm surprised Black Swan wasn't nominated. I loved the visual effects in that movie and how they were used.

Did anyone else yell "Hookers and blow!" at RDJ during his little story? Just me?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And has a woman ever solo hosted the Oscars?

Ellen Degeneres did.

Erin, Whoopi Goldberg hosted by herself, I think.

Sue, I just yelled it in my head, but I totally did.

Jennifer Hudson's face was a different color than her shoulders. I always find that disturbing.

That red dress on AH was lovely and the lipstick was lighter too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whoopi hosted it three times.

erin, they've had two movies, since I saw that they'd wrapped filming on the second a few weeks ago. Their publicity junket was bromantic, and there was a decent amount of RPS because of it.
