It is with some trepidation that I look forward to the Robert Altman segment tonight. I never feel these types of clip retrospectives do any justice to a career. But I hope they don't just focus on M*A*S*H and NASHVILLE and GOSFORD PARK, but dig into some of the other crazy stuff that guy did. I want clips from BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS, BREWSTER McCLOUD, IMAGES, QUINTET, THAT COLD DAY IN THE PARK...

BREWSTER MCLOUD remains one of the weirdest movies that I have ever seen in my life. It was one of those rare moments from the late sixties, early seventies that was not improved by the presence of marijuana.

I am glad Robert Altman is getting his due, however. You know, they never did honor Hitchcock with a special Oscar while he was alive. He won the Irving Thalberg Award (which is for producing and is a bust of Thalberg's head, not an Oscar statuette). One of the Academy's most terrible oversights.

Well, I'm heading down now to tend to a few chores before settling in with the Oscar arrival shows.

Should be back in about an hour.

Good Afternoon!

Just been watching my niece and nephew for the past couple of hours. Actually, we've all been watching The Disney Channel for the past couple of hours. They've been showing some clips/videos from "High School Musical", and I think I may have to set aside some time to watch it. It looks like fluff, but fun fluff. In fact, this Friday, they are having a special "Dance-Along" presentation where the stars of "High School Musical" will teach you some of the steps from the movie, but you are also encouraged to "add your own flava" to the steps.

What's been really 'cool' about the past couple of hours of watching The Disney Channel... Whenever one of the commercials for "High School Musical" would come on, but John Michael and Alyssa would start singing along. Apparently, it's become their favorite TV show, and they really dig the music. -And Uncle Jojo will be buying them the soundtrack so that they can listen to it in their personal CD players.

Elizabeth Taylor. She played Helena Cassadine

But the best part of the afternoon has just been being able to spend some time with my niece and nephew. And surprisingly low maintenance too!

That does sound tempting Jose, but you might want to hold out for a repeat of the Karaoke version of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL that I watched. Actually, it was kind of fun -- mindless, but fun.

As for Grey Gardens... NPR ran an interview with the creators of the show during the closing segment of Weekend Edition this morning. If you go to www.npr.org, you can listen to the interview as well as an extended song clip from the show.

I believe the DVD will be coming out soon... And it will have both the Karaoke and Dance-Along versions on it.

Mindless fun - ain't that the best kind?

And, yes, I believe the pace of the posts will pick up exponentially once the Oscar telecast begins. And unlike the Tony's, there's no tape delay to worry about.

*And, remember, you still have a few hours to join in the "World's Largest Oscar Pool"...

Sounds like a fun afternoon... I saw the pic you posted yesterday. They are cuties....

I will try and check in from time to time... Oddly busy here today at the library.

Gosh I interpreted that as….you should have won.

There was that aspect too, which pretty much insulted the person who did win.

The Vixter's 30 Hour famine was a rousing success and the 20 kids ages 13 -17 that participated were very happy to finally sit down to dinner at 6 PM last night.

The Vixter collected $410 in donations all on her lonesome and the gropup collected a total of $575 and seven shopping carts full of nonperishable items from customers of the the five supermarkets where they stood for three hours in the 40 degree temps with the wind blowing.

A nice dedicated bunch of kids. Next week we will learn the dollar total collected by the group as a whole.

I will proabably not be in here while the OSCARS are on as the computer and the TV are incseparate rooms and Vixdad loathes the Oscars or any award show for that matter, so if I have control of the TV he will have control of the computer ... I imagine playing a rousing game of Empereror, Battle for Dune

Oh no, we'll miss you Vixmom.

Here we have ordered a feast of Chinese food to eat as we watch. I have the same love for the Oscars as Vixdad and Ben, but HainesHisWay makes it fun, and I am introducing TPunk to the fun this year.

Which is worse, Joan and Whoever Rivers doing the red carpet or Ryan Seacrest? Nails on a chalkboard or a fork scraping across fine china?

I always wondered if a presenter ever annouced the wrong "winner" I am sure there has been strong temptation to....

and wasn't there one Oscar moment where the presenter came out and just immediately ripped open the envelope and announced the winner, completley ommiting the opening patter and the reading of the nominees?

Does the ceremony start at 8:00ET/5:00PT? Or is that what time the pre-show starts?
