And the winner is...

I've little time for the Oscars (see 27/2/07) and have to admit to a secret smile or two at the goings on this time (the words "piss-up" and "brewery" spring to mind) but I still find it difficult to understand why we make such a big thing of it over here - it dominated the news on breakfast television yesterday, and I have a feeling that it would have done even without what happened.  And that poor man who has to stand at the entrance to that big party that goes on trying to catch passing "celebrities" in the hope that they will spare him a few words - I think he deserves an award for persistence!
