Third time lucky:

March 1, 2004 by Michael Boyle

Third time lucky:

Denys Arcand got just desserts for a fine film last night at the Oscars as he won the award for best foreign-language feature film for Les Invasions Barbares. That was definitely the high point in the night for me. The rest of the show was predictable and quite boring overall, though Billy Crystal did a pretty decent job of hosting. Other things to note: Angelina Jolie’s nipples; Renée Zellweger looks very good when she’s not bone-thin; Adrian Brodie’s nose points at his left baby toe; Sandra Bullock looked horrified when Travolta called her ‘Sandy’; I had two degrees of separation between myself and one of the performers on stage (I know Catherine O’Hara’s niece); I really want to see Les Triplettes de Belleville. Oh, and the “really-attractive-woman-uglies-up-and-wins-the-Oscar” thing really has to go. It’s making a joke of the whole thing.
