I did not know that Babs fell one year and you could see her butt when it happened. This, to me, would make up for QT's win this year. And possibly for all past Oscar years.<br /><br />Just kidding. Seth was very rough. But, to me, not unforgivable. And Babs hit every note of her song. Which is saying something. But, unfortunately, she did not fall down so you could see up her dress. <br /><br />Oh well. Maybe next year.<br /><br />Django Unchained as best original screenplay, though?<br /><br />An Unforgivable Oscar Felony.<br /><br />AllenAllen Stanfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816366806127608207.post-4073336919707320752013-02-25T12:22:32.459-06:002013-02-25T12:22:32.459-06:00We need Hugh Jackman or Tina Fey and Amy Poehler f...We need Hugh Jackman or Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for future hosting. I will accept no one else.<br /><br />MacFarlane really did set a new low. And the most depressing thing is that he seems so unaware, he probably thinks he did great.
