oscar porn & eye candy.
this morning on the today show--or good morning america, i'm not sure--there was much anticipation about the academy awards. so much, in fact, that they devoted a good deal of live coverage to preparations at the kodak theatre, including showing the place settings (8,000 pieces of china were made for the event), demonstrating how the lighting works, and talking to wolfgang puck about the nasty yellow liquid stuff he was making that was maybe soup or custard or, more likely, liquid gold being prepared for the amusement of the beautiful, rich people dining on new china under the special lighting.
i watched for about 10 minutes until the coffee started working and i realized i was being subjected to oscar porn and then i thought, if we could reallocate the money being spent on entertaining hollywood people to, say, fund public education or feed hungry people or even just pay off my student loans, it would be much better spent.
but. despite the fact that i want to boycott the oscars on a matter of principle, i'll probably watch anyway because jon stewart is hosting and the man makes me drool. ellen did a mock award segment with him on her show this morning and the two of them were hilarious together. they have great chemistry, and at one point they abanonded what is probably my very favorite social norm--the idea of personal space--and sat kind of on top of each other with their faces about one inch apart. it was weird because, personally, if i were that close to jon i would consider it an opportunity to forget that i'm married*. i wonder if ellen considered forgetting she's gay? i say that only because this is jon stewart we're talking about, and later on she definitely gave him this oh my god i love you look after he said something funny. i think it's probably just the look you give jon stewart when you're in his presence, but still. there should be more ellen & jon comedy and i wanna sit in his lap.
*the forgetting i'm married thing only applies to jon stewart, and maybe to ellen because the woman can dance.

I like to watch the hour before the actual ceremony where they show what they're wearing. oddly, nothing horrendously atrocious except for Charliz Theron's.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who find Jon Stewart incredibly attractive...funny too. That helps.
