Jon Stewart, the Bodie Miller of the Oscars

Jon Stewart looses a bit of his humor when he is not taping a live show in front of a group giggling stoners from NYU. His opening monologue fell flat among Hollywood's power elite.
The highlight of the evening was George Clooney explaining to us regular people why the folks in Hollywood are morally superior. How refreshing to know that we need only follow Hollywood's lead to become truly good people. Maybe if had a $3,000 a week coke habit, a few plastic surgeries and was working on my fourth marriage, I could fit in. Probably not.

Sorry George, maybe us regular people are too busy serving on school committees or working with different ministries at our churches or even taking care of our parents to attend a $2,000 a plate AIDS dinner, or Cindy Sheehan rally.

The biggest surprise of the night has to be Crash winning best picture. What happened to Brokeback Mountain? Winning best director took some of the sting out of loosing Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.

A big thumbs up for Reese Witherspoon winning Best Actress for Walk the Line.

Now good night and good luck all.
